Snowy

Hello there! I'm Snowy, and I'm officially accepting applications for my forever family.
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR SNOWY
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM 
https://forms.gle/qJdAPH7QES9885Lg9

Please Note: You'll only be able to meet Snowy if your application is approved. Successful applicants will be invited to the shelter for a meet-and-greet, and any dogs currently in the home must attend as well.

General:
• Familiarity and understanding of my breed traits would be highly valued.
• I'll need daily exercise - walks, park or beach trips, and playtime in the backyard will keep me happy and healthy.
• I want to be part of the family indoors - not left outside without interaction.
• Secure fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) is essential to keep me safe.
• I'd love plenty of toys and mental enrichment to keep my busy mind occupied.
• Most importantly, I'm looking for lots of love and attention from my family.
• I have previously lived with young children.
• When I get excited, I can be a little bouncy and mouthy, so any children in the home would need to feel comfortable and confident around an energetic, enthusiastic dog joining the family.
• Socialisation is just as important as training. Taking me to new places, introducing me to all sorts of people, dogs, and other animals will help me grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog.
• Training, training, training - it's essential that I receive consistent guidance in every aspect of my life so I can become the very best companion as I mature.

Puppy
• I am still a puppy, as I head into my teenage years I will need a family to continue on with my training so I become a well mannered adult.

Dog Compatibility:
• As I didn't have much experience with other dogs before arriving at the shelter, I can be unsure how to behave around them. I'll need continued positive socialisation to help me approach dogs in a calm manner.

Cat / small animal:
• I have a high prey drive, so I'm not suited to homes with cats or small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, or ducks.

Perks:
• I'm a very playful, happy pup with the cutest little wiggle-butt when I'm excited.
• I know how to sit and Shake.
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses and head scratches when im not distracted by all of the fun things to sniff and explore, I'm also quite partial to snoozing on the couch with my humans.
• I LOVE toys - especially my ball! Fetch and tug-of-war are some of my favourite games.
• I'm exuberant and full of beans, always ready for fun and adventure.

Training:
• Once I'm settled, I can walk nicely, but I may pull if something grabs my attention or if I decide I'd like to head in a different direction. I can also be strong, so a harness or head halter would really help while I continue my training.
• I can be a little bouncy when excited, but consistent training will help me learn calmer behaviours.
• I can feel anxious when left alone in the backyard. A home where I can spend plenty of time indoors, have lots of company, and be provided with enrichment toys or treats when alone would suit me best.
