Socialization: The owner say that Snow is friendly and outgoing with stranger, he has lived with one child age 9 and plays well with him and other adults and children he does not know.

A volunteer writes: Snow, who, yes, is as white as snow is with us as his owners experienced unexpected hardships. He lived in harmony with a young child and two Chihuahuas and is known to have a great disposition toward strangers and other dogs. He is affectionate, friendly, playful and even likes to be bathed and have his nails trimmed. He would be housetrained and does not suffer from separation anxiety. He did once save his masters from a robber…I wonder if I would be so lucky with my own dog….? Handsome Snow does not look AT ALL the age stated by his owner and I really question the number…17…After a thorough exam, our veterinarians deemed Snow to be only 6 years of age..That really makes more sense. He is in great shape with barely any calluses. His coat is flawless. He is spry, sharp, strolls with bouncy steps, owns nice teeth, eats dry kibbles and eliminates in one stop. We had a very long walk in the park and I believe that I was the only tired one who needed a bench stop. It gave me a chance to have a “conversation” with Snow who very much enjoyed a butt scratch. A big smile came on his face and his tail started to wag. He is very civil with all dogs met, including the little ones. In playgroups, Snow is well mannered and rather explores the premises that he is still to get to know. I was quite impressed by Snow, a middle aged gentleman in top shape who glides on the leash, behaves wonderfully well and appreciates human and canine company. Snow has still many good years to give a new master or family. He is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care center.
