Owner Info: DOB 10/30/2000. Snickers's owner died recently and his daughter has reached out for help in rehoming Snickers.  She is unable to keep him as she lives in a small condo with four cats and one dog, doesn't have a yard, and works all day.  She has tried, but it is not working out.  She has contacted friends, family members, and other rescues but has had no luck.  She is really hoping we will have a place for Snickers! Snickers is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained.  He knows the commands, Sit, Stay, and Paw.  Snickers is good with men and women, both male and female dogs and cats, and currently lives with another dog and several cats. Snickers can be possessive of food and growls when other dogs come near his food.  He has also nipped in the past.  Snickers's daughter believes he adapts well to new situations as he is doing well in her home, but writes, "except he has urinated in my house, I'm not sure if he is becoming incontinent or if he is marking his territory." Snickers is not blind, but his owner's daughter believes he has a hard time seeing and he doesn't hear well.  She also tells us that he was "screened a couple of months ago for geriatric blood work and all came back good."  Snickers is a sweet little boy!  His owner's daughter wants us to know, "He's a sweet little guy that may need some time to adjust but just wants to be a loyal, loving dog to his person again."
