Story
Snowman, our longest resident, has been with us for over a year and a half. Day after day, he watches his friends find their homes, always wondering, “When will it be my turn?”To be completely transparent, Snowman was briefly adopted after he first arrived, but things didn’t work out. He has very clear boundaries that were pushed in his adoptive home, and as a result, he bit someone. So yes, Snowman has a bite history, and he’s not the kind of dog who wants his limits tested. But here’s the thing—he’s not unpredictable. He gives warning signs, and he’s clear about what makes him uncomfortable. Sudden movements? No, thanks. Men? Not really his thing. Strangers? Also a hard pass.We know this may not sound like the easiest sell, but it’s the truth, and it’s something to consider. Snowman has likely been let down before. He was originally found as a stray, and while we don’t know much about his past, it seems like kindness from humans has been rare in his life. But for the right person—someone patient and understanding—Snowman has so much love to give.The way to his heart? WALKS and TREATS. He absolutely loves going on long strolls, and the funny thing is, his stranger danger disappears when he’s out and about. If you take him on a walk or two, he’ll start seeing you as a friend. And food? Let’s just say Snowy has made a few friends over snacks—his little extra fluff proves it! Once he trusts you, he’s all about belly rubs and cuddles.Snowman prefers women over men and would do best in a quiet, adult-only home without a lot of unexpected visitors. His protectiveness seems to be the root of most of his reactivity, but we believe he’s smart and capable of learning with the right training and environment.One thing he has no issues with? Other dogs! He does great with them, enjoys dog parks and the beach, and loves playing with his stuffed animals. Oh, and fun fact: we did a DNA test, and Snowman is about 60% Pug, 20% Chihuahua, and a mix of Poodle and Cocker Spaniel.He’s a special boy who just needs a safe place to land and someone willing to love him for who he is.
