Description:
Meet Snowball,

Update from Snowball's new foster:

Snowball is a wonderful dog.  She is very much a Rat Terrier, bursting
with energy but devoted to her family to the core.  She is extremely
energetic and agile: she can jump a four-foot fence and hop onto the
kitchen counter without much effort.  She will also jump right into your
arms so that you can carry her around like a baby.  Snowball needs a home
that will give her some structure, training, an outlet for her energy, and
extra love.

Snowball is wary of strangers and doesn't warm up to people on the first
visit.  However, once she is used to you, and sometimes it just takes two
long visits, she is extremely affectionate and will sit in your lap and
soak up the attention.  She just requires some patience from new people.

Snowball is housetrained and gets along with the resident cat and three
dogs.  She is assertive with other dogs but not aggressive.  She loves to
play and wrestle very rough with dogs about her own size.

She also likes to dig!  She is a champion at digging holes, so she needs
to be occupied when she's outside.  She loves to run in the yard, and she
also enjoys walks on a leash.

When she's inside, she usually behaves, but she needs to be crated or
confined when no one is home because she finds her own fun if she's
bored.  She is an excellent watchdog who takes her patrol very seriously.

Snowball would do well in an active home, especially one with a fenced
yard.  She is getting better at meeting new people, but she doesn't feel
comfortable when she first meets them.  She would probably excel in
obedience and agility training since she is eager to please and extremely
agile!  She is a loving dog looking for just the right home.
