Snowball is a gentle, loving girl with a tender heart and a knack for intense devotion. She's hearing-impaired and can only sense sharp sounds, so she relies on eye contact and a handful of easy hand cues to connect with her people. Snowball may seem cautious when meeting someone new, but given a little time and a safe space, she attaches closely and soon becomes a loyal sidekick. She spent her early years around bigger dogs, but because she startles easily without full hearing, she’d be happiest as the only dog in a quiet home. Predictability and calm go a long way for her. In the right setting, her affectionate, trusting nature comes to the forefront. Snowball loves being outside, running in the yard, taking walks or hikes, and then settling in for quiet time indoors. She prefers peaceful routines over chaotic energy. When she bonds, she bonds for life—a constant, faithful companion who wants nothing more than your company. She’s about 2 years old and her adoption fee is sponsored—it includes her spay, vaccinations, deworming, and microchip. Snowball would do best with a patient adopter in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos area—someone who knows how to build trust gently over time. In return, she’ll give her whole heart. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
