Story
Little Snowball arrived to the shelter as a stray, extremely underweight, so very hungry and with coat that was terribly matted as can be seen in his last photo. Please read his entire bio before reaching out to the shelter. Snowball was so underweight that shelter staff had to carefully feed him through his first couple weeks to make sure that he was able to safely process food after almost starvation. But this tiny 10 lb. boy has proved to have quite a determined, sassy attitude! Snowball wants to get to know people at his own pace. He is looking for an adult only home with no kids, dogs or cats. If children are going to be visitors, his new adopters should be prepared to have a spot for him to be safely kept away. This guy has lost some trust in people, but is trying awfully hard to make connections. Snowball is clear about his need for space, and will give a warning growl to people who push him too fast. Once he is comfortable, he will crawl up and cuddle.Snowball would like a quiet home, with adult adopters only who are willing to go very slow on getting to know him. If you need a dog to pick up and snuggle right away, he is not the pup for you. Snowball has been through a tough time and may do best with local adopters who are able to come to the shelter multiple times in order to gain his confidence. Although his coat was trimmed down, he will require regular professional grooming to keep him comfortable, and his new adopters' should be prepared for that cost. If you are viewing Snowball's profile on Adopt-a-Pet, please head to our official website at worcesterarl.org and click on his photo to fill out the Dog Adoption Inquiry Form to request a meet with him. All adoptions are by appointment, thank you!

Story
Meet Snow, our beloved 12-year-old Maltese princess who has been a cherished member of our family for her entire life. This sweet, friendly, and lovable girl enjoys nothing more than belly rubs and chasing after crumb droppings on the floor. Despite her age, Snow still runs like the wind, especially when frolicking in the grass or basking in the sun. She may be a bit shy at the groomers, but her heart is as warm as can be. As much as it breaks our hearts, we’ve made the difficult decision to find Snow a new loving home. With our family now bustling with two little toddlers, we realize that Snow deserves undivided attention and care, something we may not be able to provide amidst our busy and active lifestyle. We’re looking for a family who will cherish Snow as much as we do and give her the love and attention she deserves in her golden years.”
