Meet Snow! â„ï¸
This sweet girl and her puppies are thriving today because a Good Samaritan chose to step in and advocate for them.
Snow was living outdoors in frigid winter temperatures, doing her best to care for her newborn puppies despite being thin and inconsistently fed. A kind-hearted customer at a local mechanic shop noticed Snow struggling in the cold and knew it wasn’t right. She spoke with Snow’s owner and convinced him to surrender the little family to the local shelter. Thanks to her intervention, rescue was able to step in. Worthy Dog Rescue took Snow into our care, and one of our trusted partner rescues welcomed her puppies.
We’ve now seen Snow in multiple foster home environments, and she has consistently proven to be a sweet, social, and adaptable dog. She’s good with kids, cats, and other dogs, with a naturally submissive and gentle nature. Snow integrates easily with new dogs, respects their cues, and ignores cats. She’s currently fostered with another young, playful dog, and the two have a great time together.
Snow is incredibly loving and affectionate and truly enjoys snuggling with her people. She has a wonderful, balanced energy level, calm and relaxed inside, but always happy to romp, play, or go for a walk. She walks well on leash, may pull a bit at times, but is not reactive when meeting new people or dogs.
She also has excellent house manners and has had no accidents in her foster home. Snow is crate-trained and will willingly walk into her crate to eat, relax, or settle in for the night. Her crate is her cozy den, though she’s equally happy curling up on the couch with her person.
Snow has been great with visitors to her foster home and wins people over quickly with her sweet, loving personality. One thing to note: She's still an adolescent, and when she’s excited or seeking attention, she may place her front paws on people, but she takes correction well and is eager to please. With consistent reminders, she’s already improving.
Whoever is lucky enough to welcome Snow into their home will be gaining a truly special dog. She’s affectionate, loyal, and exactly the kind of companion people hope for when they adopt.

Thank you for considering adoption and choosing to save a dog’s life!
Adding a dog to your family is a rewarding and life-changing experience. Dogs enrich our lives and have the amazing ability to give and receive love unconditionally. They can be your loyal companion and friend, and a watchful playmate for your kids, but they are also a serious, long-term commitment. They will depend on you for their health and well-being, and require an investment of love, time, and money for the rest of their life.
As you search for your new dog, please remember that there is no shortage of dogs who need saving. There are far more dogs waiting to be adopted than people who are willing to adopt them, so if the dog in the picture who you’ve imagined bringing home isn’t available, there are thousands more amazing, loving dogs just hoping for the chance to be your dog. We ask that you keep an open mind, stay flexible, and we will do our best to work with you to find a great match for your family.
We strongly encourage anyone thinking about adopting a dog to do your research and make sure you are prepared for the commitment. If you have thought about what’s required and are ready to adopt, here’s what you can expect when you apply to adopt a dog from Worthy Dog Rescue.
Worthy Dog Rescue cannot guarantee that the dog you apply for will be available once you have been approved. We do our best to work with adopters and meet your needs, but we do not adopt dogs on a first-come, first-serve basis. All applications are screened to determine the most suitable match for the dog and the adopter. We want to place dogs in good homes as quickly as possible, so the dog can start their new life with their family, and we can free up their foster home to save another dog in need.
We understand how easy it is to become attached to a dog you’ve found online, but sometimes the dog you apply for may already be scheduled to meet another adopter, or it may not be the best fit for your home for a variety of behavioral reasons. Our dogs are fostered by one of our volunteers, living in their home as part of their family. This allows us to get to know the dog, what they need, their level of socialization, and the type of home that will best suit them.
Our goal is to place dogs in loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. We take great care in finding good matches for our dogs and adopters too. We look forward to working with you to find the dog that will be with you and your family for many years to come.
