My story

Say hello to Snow, a beautiful 1.5-year-old brindle terrier mix who joined the HSSM family on May 5th, 2025, after being found as a stray on the tough streets of Gulfport. With no collar, tags, or microchip, Snow’s past is a mystery, but her future is full of promise—and she’s hoping it includes you. When she first arrived at the shelter, Snow was terrified and overwhelmed. The world had not been kind to her, and it showed in her hesitant eyes and nervous demeanor. But with patience, kindness, and gentle care, this sweet girl has started to rediscover trust. Though she’s still shy and unsure in new situations, Snow has come a long way. She now cautiously accepts belly rubs (on her terms, of course!) and will gently take treats from your hand—though she is a bit of a treat connoisseur. As for toys? She hasn’t quite figured out the fun in those yet, and she’s especially unsure of anything that squeaks. Because of this, Snow would do best in a calm, quiet home with a peaceful energy where she can continue to blossom. Snow is still learning what it means to just be a dog—to relax, feel safe, and enjoy life. She’s started to lean into the love of her caregivers and is showing more and more of her gentle personality each day. She also enjoys the company of other dogs but is a bit selective, so a meet and greet at HSSM is required if you already have a pup at home. We want to be sure everyone gets along and Snow feels confident in her new environment. She’s also working on her leash skills. Right now, walks are a bit scary for her, but with time, encouragement, and love, we know she’ll be strutting her stuff like a pro. And did we mention? Snow is in great health—up to date on all vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and will be spayed upon adoption if not already. Snow may be shy, but behind those cautious eyes is a heart full of love just waiting to be discovered. If you’re someone who values patience, compassion, and the joy of watching a once-lost soul bloom, Snow might just be your perfect match. Come meet Snow at HSSM and help her write the next chapter of her journey—a story filled with love, safety, and a forever home.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Snow, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
