Snickers is looking for his forever home: How you can adopt this cheese-loving dog

Megan Wessels is a certified professional dog trainer who started Mission Ready Retrievers to train dogs for veterans.

She also teaches at Cold Nose Companions dog training facility.

Wessels' career path brings many talented canines her way -- but none quite like a 10-month old pup that's currently by her side.

"If someone wanted to do dog sports and nose work and stuff like that, he can do it all," said Wessels of Snickers, who she has been fostering for the last few months while preparing him for his forever home.

It's clear Wessels is the pro in this relationship, but Snickers is teaching the trainer a thing or two.

You should know, Snickers is blind.

Many dog owners have experienced the condition as their dogs age. It's not uncommon. But to work with a blind puppy was a new challenge for Wessels.

No one knows how Snickers became blind. Whether it was genetic at birth, or the result of trauma. He came to the shelter this way.

There is a misconception in some facilities that dogs with special needs are "unadoptable." At Ready Pet GO! we've profiled deaf dogs, who've gone on to make incredible companions that are highly skilled.
