Snowball

******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat.

Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved.

If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs.

IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply.

If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board.

We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.

Snowball, 5yr old, neutered male, Australian Shepherd/Husky mix, 46 pounds.

Snowball is Camas, WASHINGTON and available immediately for meet-and-greets.

If you do not live within a reasonable driving distance, virtual chats can be arranged.

"Free Dogs." That was the sign Snowball's owners held up outside a shopping center late at night.

A kind family passing by took Snowball and his brother, Simba, in until they had to move and were unable to keep or care for them any longer.

That's when we came in.

The boys are dog and people friendly, were neutered and caught up to date on vaccinations, and have been settling into foster homes while we watch their sweet personalities coming out.

Snowball may be an adult but this boy is always up for play time! He is fostered with a female pit/boxer mix who has no "off" button and he is able to keep up with her.

He's high energy while playing but when it's time for a nap, he's ready to curl up and sleep.

He's not encountered any dogs while on leash but has an overall cheerful personality so we don't anticipate any issues once given the opportunity for proper introductions.

Snowball has not been around cats or kids, but his foster says he is such a sweetie that she thinks he could be good with kids.

We typically suggest homes with kids over the age of 10yrs or those who can understand and will respect animal behavior cues.

Snowball has impeccable house manners: he's fully potty trained, crate and leash trained, although he does pull a bit on lead.

He enjoys going into his kennel, has no issues with separation anxiety or other destructive behaviors, and hasn't demonstrated any food aggression or resource guarding.

Snowball is a bit greedy around food but has learned to share treats and toys well.

He's still learning how to "sibling" and not steal what his foster sister has, but he's good natured about it.

He is a notorious plushy killer and likes making his own "snow." He is part husky, so he can be mischievous if given the opportunity - he likes practicing his escapes and leading you on unforced cardio jaunts! He would love to be the center of attention without having to share affection but does see the benefit of having a romping buddy to chase about.

;) He loves snuggling and is quite affectionate.

He can be a bit of a scaredy cat when meeting new people but is much better than when he first came into our care.

His ideal home would be with someone patient, willing to help him continue coming out of his shell, and with a moderate amount of activity.

***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.

We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time.
