Meet Snickers
Hi! My name is Snickers and I am looking for a forever home. I was adopted as a puppy to a military family who got deployed overseas and did not want to take me with them. I am a 2-year old golden retriever who weighs a little over 65lbs, but I act more like a 1-year old who has not had a lot of attention paid to them. In the home I'm in now, they say I'm "gorgeous, loving, healthy, house trained, and trainable" ... they key word here is trainable. I'm looking for a family that is willing to give me time and training to become the gread adult dog golden retrievers are known for. The good thing is I'm very treat and food motivated, and I want to please, both of which works in my/your favor. I am already working on walking on a leash; however, I want to say hi to everyone I meet and will pull hard in order to greet them and will jump up on them, which can be pretty intimidating for a dog of my size. I'm good about not barking at the other dogs unless they bark at me, but again I want to meet them and if out on a leash will pull. I'm not aggressive at all and actually do better with small dogs but have played with some bigger dogs, too; I also haven't bothered the cats I've encountered other than some interest to figure out what they are. I've still got a lot of puppy traits such as chewing on some things I shouldn't (shoes, socks, etc.) but can be re-directed. I'm not crazy about a crate but with the right incentives (food/treats), I will go in and after initially trying to convince you to let me back out, I will settle down. I would love to find a home with a fenced back yard to run around and explore and a family who will pay me lots of attention and be willing to work with me (older kids might be best due to my size). If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application which can be found at www.bcaaofnj.org.
