About Snowball

Snowball is a sweet, easygoing older girl who spent much of her life as a breeder before settling into a loving home the past two years. At 11, she’s looking for a place to retire where comfort and patience are in good supply. Snowball is happiest with other dogs and does best with a canine friend who’ll be gentle and give her space as she gets her bearings. She’s good with kids but startles easily, so a home with children over 6 is best. She enjoys walks, handles a leash well, and finds peace in exploring her surroundings. A fenced yard would be nice but isn’t mandatory. She’s fully potty trained and is fine with her crate. Snowball has chronic dry eye, which means she’ll need two eye medications for life—a routine she handles just fine. She’s spayed, current on vaccinations, and, despite her age, still up for affection and sharing her quiet energy. Her birthdate is January 31, making her an Aquarius—independent and a little quirky at heart. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
