Sweet little Sneakers is available for adoption!  Sneakers is 9 years old and 18 pounds.  He is a maltese mix - we think with poodle because of his nubby little tail.  Sneakers found himself at a shelter and this boy needed to be rescued!  So here he is - all ready for a new life to begin!

Sneakers is a well behaved boy.  His past is a mystery but someone took care of him it seems.  He bonded very fast to his foster mom and is her shadow, never more then a few feet away from her.  We were told he is afraid of men but have no way to confirm that at this point.  He is not a fan of being picked up but his foster simply puts a towel or blanket around him and problem solved.  Sneakers came to us with a UTI so that may have been the issue too.  He can use doggie stairs or can jump up and down off of furniture by himself too.  Sneakers is housetrained (we always tell people to expect an adjustment period though!). He has a fully fenced yard in his foster home and loves to take advantage of it - but only if he is foster mom is out there with him.   He walks on a leash but tends to pull to get where he is going.  Sneakers is very good in the car too.  Sneakers is good with other dogs as long as they are good to him back.  He has no interest in playing with them or snuggling up to them.  Cats are no issue either.  If there are kids in the home or that visit, they should be older since he is not going to want to be manhandled by little ones.  He likes to be pet and is always eager for affection.  Sneakers will give gentle kisses to his foster mom's legs to let her know he is there and would like a little love back.  Sneakers was recently groomed (we had to get him a new look for his new start!) and will need to be groomed throughout his life.  He was not a happy camper at the groomers so an experienced groomer is necessary.  Again, it could have been that he did not feel well at the time and was in pain.  But this is something a future owner should know ahead of time!  

Sneakers is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  His adoption fee is $350.  Please apply on our website if you think you are a match for Sneakers!
