**EDIT: ADOPTED!!** SOUTHBURY, CT: Snowball is an adorable senior who'd love to find his forever home long before this year's first snowfall. He is an absolute perfect match for anyone who is looking for a small furry companion in their life— it's surprising this lovely ball of fluff needs extra help finding an adopter. Snowball is at least 12 years old, but Poodles are famously known for their incredibly long lives so this handsome fella is basically still a puppy. And he's ready to live out the rest of his life being loved by you! PLEASE SHARE!
PupStarz Rescue writes, “Snowball was surrendered to Manhattan ACC because his original owner had passed away and no one from the family could care for him long term.
Fluffy and soft just like a snowball, this Poodle mix named Snowball is 15 pounds of pure perfection. He’s somewhere between 12-14 years old, but in Snowball’s mind, age is just a number. Snowball can coexist with all sorts of creatures - humans, dogs, cats, you name it. He is gentle, sweet, and peaceful. Snowball is a total cuddle bug and is happy to sit on your lap, be pet, or be carried around in your arms. He is small, he travels calmly, and he’s so well-behaved you can take him anywhere. Snowball loves outdoor cafes and restaurants and is an ideal lunch/dinner es**rt, especially if you promise to offer him a bite of whatever you’re eating.
Terrific on a leash, Snowball enjoys going for walks and getting fresh air. The rest of the time, he’s content to chill out and lounge around at home. Ya know…the retired life! He is comfortable using p*e pads for his bathroom business and is also somewhat trained to relieve himself outside.
This curly-haired cutie-pie doesn’t shed and rarely barks. He is a total mush who is looking for a quiet life with a nice cozy bed to sleep on, a kind human around to show him some love, and yummy food at mealtime. Not too much to ask for!
He was recommended as a hospice placement at first but his medical needs are managed now and he's doing great! His heart murmur is managed with daily meds. And he had a dental about a month or so ago.
He's located in Southbury, CT and adopters would need to travel to pick him up."
