Loves all kids Energy Level: Medium Fence Required: Yes Special Needs: Snickers has luxating patellas (loose kneecaps) in both back legs, with the right side being worse. It doesn’t stop her from running, playing, or enjoying life, but it can cause some discomfort. She’s currently being monitored, and her forever family should be prepared to continue supporting her with appropriate care. About Snickers’ Breed: Boston Terriers are known for their charm and personality! They are one of the few truly American dog breeds. They live anywhere between 11-13 years and are typically intelligent, affectionate, and playful. These pups (like Snickers) are perfect for families with kids and other pets. They are quick learners and very trainable! They are often goofy and entertaining and have expressive faces with clownish antics that make them natural comedians. They thrive on human interaction and love being part of a family. Snickers is a social butterfly who loves everyone she meets—adults, kids, and even new friends she finds out in the world. With her goofy play style, silly snorts, and classic Boston Terrier charm, she’s guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. What Snickers Loves: People: She greets new friends with tail wags, kisses, and enthusiasm. She’s especially great with kids and enjoys short bursts of affection before moving on to her next adventure. Other Dogs: Snickers can hang with both seniors and puppies. She can sometimes get a little over-excited in play (barking and playful nips), but she’s never aggressive. She’s learning how to play more politely. Car Rides: Buckled in with her doggy seat belt, she’s a happy passenger who settles down quickly and enjoys the ride. Toys: Snickers is toy-obsessed! She loves fetch and tug and knows the difference between toys and household items. Downtime: Once she’s had some time to explore a new place, she happily flops down to nap. She sleeps well through the night, is crate-trained, and can be left alone for short periods without anxiety. Training & Home Life: Snickers is house-trained and learning her basic commands like sit, stay, down, and come. She’s very food-motivated, which makes training easier, though her attention span is short—quick, frequent training sessions work best. She walks politely indoors on leash and is practicing staying calm when outdoors around distractions. She’s a generally quiet dog, only barking briefly when someone new comes in, and she’s affectionate in her own way—more of a social butterfly than a lap dog, though she occasionally curls up for a cuddle. Quirks/What She’s Still Working On: Snickers is still learning to distinguish between fingers and toys during tug or fetch, so supervised play and redirection are helpful. She sometimes jumps up when excited and can grab her leash like it’s a toy, but she responds well to redirection. Like many terriers, she has a prey drive—squirrels are fascinating to her! She gets very excited at times, which can come out as humping or mouthy play. She’s improving with training. She’s also a world-class snorer—cute during the day, but loud at night! Snicker’s Ideal Home: Snickers would do best with a semi-active family that enjoys playtime and can continue her training with patience and consistency. She’s adaptable—happy to play with kids, romp with another playful dog, or just entertain herself with toys. With her joyful spirit and curious nature, Snickers will be a fun, loving addition to the right family. Ready to Welcome Snickers Into Your Life?
