Snow - Rat Terrier and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Boerne, Texas

Meet Snow!

Snow is a 3-year-old, 16-pound Rat Terrier/Jack Russell Terrier blend (our best guess) with all the brains, agility, and entertaining antics you'd expect from those two breeds!

Snow came to us from a hoarding situation, so the world has been a little overwhelming for him. He spent his first week doing exactly what he needed-decompressing, observing, and figuring out that people can actually be pretty awesome.

When he was finally ready to explore the big dog play yard, he absolutely surprised us! He politely took it all in, made excellent choices, and then decided it was time to wag his tail and gently lick our hands. Before long, he was happily stretched out beside us, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying simply being together.

Snow has so much potential. He just needs a family willing to let him settle in at his own pace. Once he feels safe, you can see the happy, loyal little guy that's been waiting to shine all along.

Like many dogs who have experienced major life changes, Snow could be a bit of a flight risk during his first few weeks while he learns that this is his forever home. A secure yard, a snug harness, and a little patience will go a long way. Interestingly, when we were with him in the play yard, escaping wasn't even on his agenda-he was perfectly content staying close and enjoying our company.

A confident, friendly canine buddy would likely help Snow build his confidence even faster and show him that family life is pretty wonderful.

If you're looking for a smart, athletic little sidekick and understand that the best friendships sometimes take a little time to blossom, Snow may just be your perfect match. Watching him discover how wonderful life can be is a reward all its own.
