Story
Meet Snowball – The Lovable Little Screwball Still Waiting for His Big Break! We honestly can’t believe it—how is Snowball still waiting to be adopted? This 1.5-year-old, 6.5-lb Jack Russell Terrier mix is a whole lot of happy packed into a tiny body. Affectionately nicknamed “Screwball” for his goofy personality and endless energy, Snowball is equal parts hilarious, affectionate, and wildly entertaining. He brings the kind of joy to a room that makes you wonder how you ever lived without him. But behind his bright spirit is a story of resilience. Snowball came to us in December 2024 as a frightened little stray, unsure of people and the world around him. With time, love, and a safe place to land, he transformed into the bold, playful, and endlessly curious pup he was always meant to be. Now, he’s more than ready to bring that same joy to a forever family of his own. Snowball is still a young guy with puppy-like tendencies, so he’ll need continued guidance, structure, and positive reinforcement training. But he is so eager to please and highly trainable—this is a dog who wants to get it right and just needs someone willing to show him how. As a likely Jack Russell mix, Snowball is smart, feisty, and full of zest. He needs a home that understands small dogs with big personalities and is ready to embrace all the fun (and chaos) that can come with them. What Snowball Needs in a Forever Home: ~An active household ready to keep him engaged, mentally and physically ~A home without young children—he does best with adults or older teens ~A dog-savvy adopter willing to invest in training and structure ~A potential canine sibling might be a fit—but only if they’re laid-back and tolerant of his big personality. He can be bossy with little dogs and a bit of a challenger with larger ones! Snowball is already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. The only thing missing from his life is a home where he’ll be loved, understood, and cherished for the little firecracker he is. If you think Snowball is the perfect match for your heart and home, click the Adoption Application button below the bio on the RESCUE WEBSITE, and an adoption counselor will be in touch! Here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/13549 Please Note: We are currently only accepting applications from homes in or near North County in San Diego, California.
