About Snowball Redington Beach

Snowball is a small, energetic Poodle mix living in Redington Beach, FL, who brings a lot of spark for such a tiny dog. He’s about a year old and weighs just 5.5 lbs, with a white, medium-length coat and a big personality packed into a little frame. Dumped in a parking lot before being rescued, Snowball has embraced every new experience—he picks up routines quickly, from using puppy stairs to mastering the art of puppy play. Right now, he thrives in a home where he can romp with another small, active dog, so having a young, similar-sized playmate is a must. He plays hard, loves leash walks, and has no fear keeping up with the other pups in his foster home. Snowball's still very much a puppy and needs patience from his future family—he's working on potty training (on pee pads and outside), and his small bladder means frequent breaks. He’ll do best with adults or families with kids 12 and up who are experienced with small dogs. Because he’s fast and can slip underfoot in a blink, his people need to stay sharp and attentive. A household where someone works from home or is only gone for short stretches will help him thrive. No large dogs or rough play—gentle handling and attentiveness are important. Snowball is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and started on preventatives. Are you agile, alert, and ready for the lively energy of a small dog? Snowball is ready to find his people, learn, and be part of a family that welcomes his playful spirit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
