Snazzy is a quirky, silly 5-6-year-old, 7-pound spayed female terrier mix from the NYCACC.
We don't know much about her past as she was a stray. has adjusted very well during her time with her foster family in the city. She is shy with new humans, but with a few treats she is all tail wags and kisses. She's been to dog friendly bars, shopping at Target, and home over the holidays with her foster mom. She travels well in a bag or on a lap in a car.
Snazzy loves activities, puzz;es. and her squeaky toyscuddling. She knows how to "sit" and is also able to stand on her hind legs for an increbibly long time like a trick dog! Snazzy would be a super fun dog to do trick training with as she thrives on mental stimulation and pleasing her human. She also is an excellent snuggler!
During her time with her foster family, she is doing well with a combination of pee pad and leash walks for doing her business outside.
Snazzy loves walks and walks wonderfully on a leash both solo and with her foster siblings . She greets new humans and dogs with friendly curiousity.She loves saying hi to dogs of all size on the street, has been brought from everything but would prefer to be the only dog in the home. or with a non-reactive male small dog. In her foster home she is amicable with two mellow and nonreactive Chihuahuas, but only after experienced conditioning.
Snazzy's new family forever family will need to continue working with Snazzy to reinforce and advance the progress she's been making. Once Snazzy becomes bonded with a person, she (may) seek to "protect" her person from other dogs, and her new paw parent will need to work with to prevent that habit. So far she has been a gem, and can be fed with her siblings as well as have toys around them.
When Snazzy first arrived she collected socks into a pile and guarded them. Wih positive condidioning, she now brings socks and toys to her foster parents and drops them for fetch!
Snazzy would thrive in a home with a confident family to work on her insecurity
Snazzy doesn't use a crate as she's fine with being left on her own for a few hours with some toys and chews. She likes to nap on the sofa or curl up in her little bed.
She loves to be cozy with her foster family and can be found most often on the sofa or oh top of the laundry bag with her favorite toy or a sock. She loves to curl up on laps!
Snazzy is looking for a moderately active family to play and keep her busy. She appreciates nap time and active moments equally.
She attaches easily would like most to be an only dog; she wants all the love, or a home with at least a one human to dog ratio, She likes her own lap,but can swap out! ! We would recommend Snazzy go to a home without children.
Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella. Heartworm negative, spayed and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
