If you are looking for a cuddle buddy than look no further - Snowball is the guy for you!

This sweet guy loves to snuggle by your side. He is in doggie heaven if you pet him while he sits by you, the longer the better! He is quiet, easy-going, and affectionate.

At 12 years young, he has pep in his step and enjoys his time with his foster parents. He is fostered by Caring Hearts Rescue in Springfield, VA.

Snowball is a healthy and happy dog that will get along with all dogs and people. He had a recent vet exam, senior bloodwork, and a dental and our vet tells us he is in tip top shape! Snowball looks and acts like a much younger dog.

He is housetrained and is currently being let out every few hours for a potty break. Snowball loves all people and other dogs. He would fit in with any family.

If you would be interested in adopting Snowball, visit caringheartsrescue.org.
