My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Snowball’s foster family told us:

“Snowball is a gorgeous rabbit who loves to nibble! She’s super energetic and intelligent. She loves rugs because her claws can’t easily grip wood floors. She loves having time each day to roam and to run outside of her cage and to do binkies. She also likes human company and is a delight to have around. Snowball settled in quickly and likes to come up to you (and even crawl on you!) once she gets to know you. Snowball LOVES to run and binky, and she is an absolute delight to have as a foster!”

Snowball’s favorite things are: Romaine lettuce and running. She LOVES running laps around the outside of her pen!

But she’s not so into: Being picked up or handled a lot. She does, however, really enjoy having her head scratched behind her ears when she’s in a chill mood.

Her special talents are: Snowball can stretch out to nearly two feet in length!

Her perfect day would be: Early morning laps around her pen, followed by a breakfast of pellets. A late morning and mid-afternoon nap with some Romaine lettuce in the mid/late afternoon. Then a few laps and a feeding of pellets in the evening and a good night’s rest!

If Snowball was an ice cream flavor, she would be: Rainbow Sherbet! Snowball has a colorful, beautiful personality that would make for a great pet!

Important facts about Snowball: Snowball is litter box trained! She loves strawberries, but only as a treat, and she’s good about drinking water so make sure her water bowl has plenty of water. Snowball is a very curious rabbit and an absolute beauty!

*Snowball has not been around young children or cats whilst in our care. She has grown
accustomed to hearing the barks of small dogs as there is one in our house. Our team is
happy to discuss how she might do in a new home during your appointment!

If you are interested in adopting Snowball, please visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
