SNOWBALL’s Personality
Sweet, gentle, and sensitive boy
Initially scared in the kennels, so he was brought to the house where he settled in beautifully with the senior dogs
Ignores the cats — calm and respectful
Excellent with other dogs — great with all sizes and ages
Best friends with TANIA (rescued from South Korea) — they sleep together, play together, and have become each other’s emotional support
A little skittish with sudden movements, but with time, builds strong trust — now comes up for affection and morning cuddles
Nervous on the leash when alone, but walks with much more confidence when with TANIA
Ideal home would be one that’s calm, loving, and active — providing plenty of physical and mental enrichment
Snowball & TANIA — The Perfect Pair
Since TANIA’s sister passed away, she and SNOWBALL have formed an inseparable bond
They bring out the best in each other and we would love to see them adopted together by a family ready to continue nurturing their friendship and confidence
What SNOWBALL Needs
A family that understands the needs of a shy dog and will provide positive experiences, patience, and encouragement
Mental and physical exercise — he’s still a young dog with energy to burn and curiosity to feed
High-quality food, fun toys, and a loving routine
Regular veterinary wellness care
