The fluffy white Snowball is seeking her furever family!  She is a very happy and playful young girl, enjoying a romp around the yard with her tiny canine foster siblings, and then coming inside for a nap on the sofa.  She adores human attention and will seek it out everywhere she goes, from people big and small!  She has been on many outings with her foster mom, to places like the flea market, craft fairs, and stores!  This social butterfly will charm your guests when you host get-togethers, and then come in for some quiet time with her person, giving a warm hug and tucking her head into your chest with a sweet sigh.  All she wants is to love and please her humans, and her ideal home is with people who are around all the time, or want to bring her with them when they go out.  Snowball is so enamored with receiving attention that she will use her big frame to protect her person from other dogs’ attention.  This has gotten better over time and she’ll now wiggle between the other pups to find her human for pets.  As Snowball was found as a stray, it’s understandable that she’s probably afraid of being left behind.  Snowball hopes for a 6’ fenced-in yard where she can run out her zoomies with a doggie pal or two, and show you her impression of hopping like a bunny and galloping like a horse!  This cutie’s favorite things include car rides, belly rubs, tennis balls and soft plushy toys, as well as biscuits and pup cups!  She is an absolute joy, and you will giggle as you watch her play in the rain, and when she sleeps on her back with all her legs sticking up in the air.  If you’re ready for the world’s most affectionate sweetheart to join your family, look no further than Snowball!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
