Snickers

 

Snickers – YES; She’s a greyhound, not a lurcher mix! Although we can’t prove it. No tattoos. But we’d bet our reputation on it. Now that we met her in person and learned more of her story, here are the updates. We are seeking a home where she can be the only dog. Snickers is fabulous with people! Very loving, cuddly, playful. (We may revise this part of the profile, but today she is reactive to every other dog during introductions. Since April, Snickers went thru 2 different animal control shelters before she landed with Prison Greyhounds, so that may have overwhelmed her. Apparently, she was not socialized as a pup with her littermates. We think she could be 2. Does NOT like cats. She crates well, fully housebroken.  Current on all vaccines, spayed, microchipped. About 52 pounds today. Snickers (a name the shelter gave her) was the subject of an animal cruelty/neglect case. A complaint came in about 2 neglected dogs.  Snickers, and another breed of dog, were in small pens outside, with no access to food, water, nor shelter. At first the Warden offered the owner some resources. A couple days later, when Warden realized the resources were not utilized for the 2 dogs, the animal were seized. This was in April. The negligent owner never paid the bond, nor tried to reclaim the dogs. This was actually fortunate for the hounds, they were legally able to be rehomed.  Our partner American Lurcher Project called us, to see if we could take a hound in an emergency situation. We said yes.  Adoption fee is $300 since we cannot verify she is 100% greyhound.
