Meet Snowball!

Snowball is fostered by Caring Hearts Rescue in Springfield, VA.

This sweet love bug just wants to snuggle by your side.

He is the happiest if you pet him while he sits by you, the longer the better! He is quiet, easy-going, and affectionate.

At 12 years old, Snowball looks and acts like a much younger dog.

He had a recent vet exam, senior bloodwork, and a dental and he is in tip top shape!

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.

Snowball is ready to find his forever home! If you would be interested in adopting him, visit caringheartsrescue.org.
