Just like his name, Snowflake is one of a kind. This big puppy is sweet to his core and a little unaware of just how much puppy power he’s packing. Think Ferdinand the Bull—gentle-hearted, goofy, and full of love, with a body that’s still learning how to match his good intentions. Snowflake is in his adolescent era, which means he’s got lots of energy, big feelings, and a growing brain that needs guidance. He’s looking for a family who can help him learn how to regulate those big emotions, practice settling, and enjoy daily enrichment to keep his mind and body happy. With structure, patience, and positive guidance, Snowflake is going to shine. In return? He promises to be a lovable, goofy goober who’s always down for a game of fetch or tug—and who will absolutely make time for cuddles once he’s gotten his wiggles out. If you’re ready to help a big, sweet puppy grow into the best version of himself, Snowflake is ready to melt your heart.
