Snowy wants to meet you! And you will enjoy meeting him. Snowy is the sweetest, most tenderhearted boy you’ll ever meet. Snowy isn’t just affectionate… he radiates love. This gentle soul loves giving big, warm hugs, the kind where he melts into you like you’re his safe place. When he’s happy (which is often!), he proudly parades around with a toy in his mouth, his whole body wiggling with joy. It’s impossible not to smile when Snowy is celebrating life right in front of you. He is, truly, incredibly endearing.
At home, Snowy is a dream — house-trained, crate-trained, quiet, and wonderfully polite. He adores belly rubs, enrichment games, and bringing you his leash or toys to let you know he’s ready for fun. Snowy also loves house guests - more people to love on! He’s smart, food-motivated, and more than willing to learn… you could probably even teach him to fetch your slippers.
Snowy walks nicely on leash, and he’s making steady progress learning to pass other dogs calmly with the help of treats, encouragement, and structure. A fenced backyard where he can run and play would make him extra happy.
Snowy thrives as the only pet and does best with someone experienced or excited to continue gentle training. He’s fantastic with kids, great in the car, loves exploring, and keeps his foster family laughing with his goofy charm and tender, loving nature.
He’ll be happiest in a suburban setting where he won’t be approached by lots of unfamiliar dogs.
