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.

You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to foster.worthydog and fill out an application.
