My story

Snowball, 5.5 years old, neutered male, Australian Shepherd/Husky mix, 46 pounds. Snowball is BURIEN, 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. We had him fully vetted and transported him from Texas to the PNW. Snowball may be an adult but this boy is always up for play time! He had a foster sister who has since been adopted. She was a boxer mix who had no "off" button and he was able to keep up with her. He's energetic 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. He has also gone to boarding and had play groups with other dogs and did great. Snowball has not been around cats or kids. We recommend a home with kids 14 years and older. Snowball has impeccable house manners: he's fully potty, 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 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! We have no idea his history, but do know movements above his head make him very scared. If you raise a household item or move your hand to fast, he cowers or barks. His foster mom has had him in her care since January and knows his personality very well. He takes a few times to meet new people and then does wonderful. He is needs a quieter home with people who accept him for who he is. 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. ***

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