Snowball

My story

ABOUT SNOWBALL Meet Snowball, a goofy 5.5-year-old mix breed with tons of personality! Snowball came to HAP when her owners could no longer care for her. Adjusting to shelter life has been tough, especially since she’s not a fan of other dogs. However, Snowball absolutely LOVES people and is incredibly affectionate! She gets so excited to make new friends and will eagerly tap her paws on her kennel door to say, "Take me out and love me!". To give her some extra breaks from the shelter, Snowball has participated in our Doggy Day Out program, and she’s always a hit with her human friends. Here's what our volunteers have to say about her: "Snowball was an absolute delight today! She warmed up to us super quick and was super gentle. We took her to Lum's Pond and she did amazingly well on the trail. She never pulled on the leash, followed the trail well, and liked to sniff the sides of the trail. She quickly realized she could trust us and would jump up on our laps when we sat down to rest. She wasn't a fan of other dogs, but was quick to forget about them. She walked 5 miles and was only starting to get tired! She is such a great dog: super gentle, affectionate, and leash trained!" - Brian "Today, I took Snowball out and she was so sweet!! All she wanted to do was snuggle and lay with us! She was so well-behaved but a little bit nervous walking by the roads. We took a walk around campus and then napped on the couch. We loved having her so much!" - Olivia "Had a lovely day out with Miss Snowball. She is such a nice and well-mannered girl! She rode in the car very well and kept a great pace while walking together. Even when she stopped to sniff stuff for super long, she responded well to a light tug on the leash to get her back on track. Nothing broke her stride or bothered her (except when we saw another dog across the street), she manages hearing and seeing new things very well! When we took a break towards the end of our walk, she sat right between my legs and put her head on my lap for a rest" - Anna "Chilly 3 mile walk this morning with Snowball at Delcastle park! She’s such a cuddle bug - so sweet, so gentle, didn’t pull on the leash once! Barked a few times at some dogs and birds, but overall she was great - tail going the whole time! Also, she is perfect in the car. Had to help her get into my jeep at first but on the way back she hopped in no problem! What a gem!" - Taylor If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
