Story
Meet Snow White! This lovely Papillon/Chihuahua mix girl is a 10 year old mixed breed, around 9 lbs. If there's one thing  Snow White  loves above all else, it's cuddling her humans and getting belly rubs. She has THE SOFTEST fur. She warms up to new people quickly but does have apprehension with men sometimes. Slow introductions work best in those situations and she's usually asking for pets within a few minutes.  Snow White  is a great walker, and gets extremely excited when asked "Do you want to go...out?".  Speaking of potty activities, she is pee-pad trained and currently pees once at night on the pee pad. She's not a fan of being left home alone, but doesn't act out or bark. She really just loves being with her family--better yet when everyone is home being couch potatoes. Snow White  would do best in a home without small children and cats. She has done well living with other dogs but is a bit of an attention hog and generally ignores her canine companions. Her previous owner loved and cared for her deeply but had to surrender her after a change in life circumstances.    She does have a grade 5 heart murmur that requires a 2x a day pill (Vetmedin), and will need to have yearly visits with the a cardiologist to get it checked.    &#226&#128&#139Snow White is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped.  We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!
