Snow

Hi, I’m a 5 year old Eskie/Spitz mix named Snow! I had a rough start in life, coming from a Korean meat market, but thankfully I was rescued. Because of my past, I can be a bit shy at first, but I have really come out of my shell since being with my foster family.

I am good with other dogs, as I have two foster sisters, but I am not very playful with them. I would prefer being the only pet in my new home, or sharing it with dogs my size. I’m about 70% housebroken, having a few accidents here and there and I’ve been doing great getting used to walking on a leash. It would be ideal if you have a fenced yard, as my walks are purely for maintaining my physique.

I am looking for a patient family who will help me continue my transition to being a house dog. Are you the one?

Alexis

Personality: I am the biggest of my siblings. Playful, the group gourmand, sociable and likes to wrestle.

Hobbies: Wrestling with my sleeping siblings. Napping. Eating food.

Favorite Toy: Cat wand and peekaboo box (cardboard box with holes cut in it).

Favorite Napping Spot: In a pile with siblings.

How I Came To The SPCA: My mom and my siblings and I were abandoned in a garage when our people moved away. Some good people called the PGSPCA and we were saved!

Dream Family: A family with time to play and hang out with a brother or sister.

The local SPCA is a volunteer-run organization that does not operate a physical shelter. Volunteers house the animals in their own homes until they are adopted. Every pet up for adoption is listed here. To start the adoption process, fill out this form. Anyone with questions can call (301) 262-5625 or email pgspcavol@gmail.com.
