Meet Snowy – Sweet, Smart & Snuggly

Snowy is a gentle, affectionate boy who love everyone ! He's house- and crate-trained, quiet, and playful at home. A total cuddlebug, Snowy enjoys belly rubs, enrichment games, and bringing you his leash or toys when he’s ready for fun. You could probably train him to bring you your slippers!

He’s very food motivated and eager to learn, and he’s making great progress with leash training. Snowy does need continued help when leash walking especially when seeing other dogs and sudden motion, like bikes, but he’s improving steadily with treats, structure, and love. He would enjoy a backyard where he can run and play.

For now, Snowy does best as the only pet in a home with someone experienced or willing to learn and train him. He’s great in the car, loves exploring, and makes his fosters laugh every day. Snowy is a sweet soul ready for a fresh start.

Ready to meet your new best friend? Snowy is waiting! Email Joshua at JoshuaHTRescue@gmail.com and ask about meeting Snowy!
