Snickerdoodle
Hello, my name is Snickerdoodle. My animal id is #12500. I am a male white dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 2 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 13-Nov-2017.
Snickerdoodle is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs. Snickerdoodle is Suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Big ears, big heart…that’s Snickerdoodle! This guy is as playful as he is affectionate (that’s SUPER DUPER for both!). He seems housebroken, eagerly sits for treats, and has a perfectly placed spot on the back of his head. He might not be 100% aware of his size and strength, and can be jumpy, but he is 200% aware of his love for people! He loves to be close, and will clumsily weave in and out of my legs when I pet him, generously and diligently give kisses, and he is, without question, a lap dog (don’t even try to tell him differently!) He has a lot of energy, but the good news is that he loves every kind of toy, so tuckering him out shouldn’t be impossible: he fetches, he tugs, and he bucks around like a pony when you give him a stuffy! He is so much fun and really knows how to make people feel special…we hope you’ll come meet him at Brooklyn ACC!
My medical notes are…

He briefly sniffed her before pacing the pens, while sniffing its smells. 11/15: Snickerdoodle briefly explores the yard before attempting to mount the other dog. He listens to handler interruptions, but will re-attempt to mount her when she is near. 11/17-20: In a group of playful dogs, Snickerdoodle is tolerant of a smaller intact male’s playful gestures. He follows the female dog, before exploring the pens.
