Snowball came into our center as a stray after a member of the public found her as a stray and kept her for three months. Finder reports Snowball stayed with a family of 5 adults and one 11 year old child. Behavior around cats is unknown.

Snowball held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, relaxed. She stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, slight lip lick, ears and tail neutral. Snowball followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, body soft. She gently pulled her paw back on first Squeeze attempt, did not pull it back on second attempt. She showed no interest in Toy, though this may be due to environment as Finder reports she would like to play and liked receiving attention. When off leash with other dogs, Snowball is a polite greeter. She often expored the yard but does not engage in play.
