My story
Snowy was originally a stray dog living in the mountains, occasionally fed by kind-hearted people. One day, she was found seriously injured, having stepped into a trap set for wild boars... As a result, her right hind leg had to be amputated. Snowy was rescued and receiving medical treatment at the Xindian Animal Shelter. The staff was supposed to to spay her, and released her back into the wild. However, because Snowy was exceptionally friendly, they decided to keep her and try to find her a home. Unfortunately, being a medium-sized mix with a disability, Snowy had a hard time finding adopters... Good news is, PACK Academy recruited her! Snowy is very affectionate and playful. Are you willing to give her a chance, becoming your family for the rest of her life?
Personality
Snowy loves interacting with people. She enjoys being petted, shows people her belly, and gets excited when she makes new human friends. However, she is also sensitive to people's emotions. When you're angry, she will stay nearby you, shrinking, and looking like she’s the most pitiful creature in the world. As for adaptability, she gradually fits in new environments.Snowy always keeps an eye on her owner, she is a great follower ever!
