** Fostered in Tampa, FL **
UPDATE MAY 1, 2018: Snowy is currently available for sponsorship or long term foster care only by a very experienced and knowlegeable previous Eskie owner. His heart medications cost about $100 per month, and any sponsorship support would be greatly appreciated. Snowy has a bite record. If you are interested in learning more about Snowy, please email dyan@eskierescuers.org. _________________________ Meet SNOWY of Tampa, FL. Snowy is a very ornery senior male, full of attitude and very full of himself. It will take a special person to be willing to take him on, as he's likely a "work in progress".......but he is also charming, sweet and loving.....and one of the most beautiful miniature Eskies you could ever hope to see. Snowy loves to go on walks and is good on a leash. He is totally housebroken, has a healthy appetite, and readily takes his medicine in a pill pocket. He really loves to sleep on sofas and on the bed, but he needs to know he is your guest while on those, and that they don't belong to him or need to be protected or resource guarded. Snowy needs to go to a female only, single owner home. No kids. No other dogs. No cats. He wants to be king of his castle and preferably rule it too, especially if you give him one tiny little inch and let him. He needs a very strong Eskie-experienced owner who will keep him in line. Snowy needs to respect you and know you are in charge. Otherwise.....well, he can be a little hellion. His current foster says you have to "Outwit, Outsmart and Outplay" him. We would love for Snowy to find his very own perfect forever home, but would also consider a long term foster arrangement. He does have a grade 4/5 heart murmur (though you would never know it) and is on medication for it. His current foster says he would be a perfect companion for an equally determined woman. Since Snowy is a senior and if you are a senior (over 60 years) and don't hold his age against him, he qualifies for our "Seniors for Seniors" adoption program and 50% adoption discount. If you qualify, his foster has offered to sponsor his $75 adoption fee. In addition, his foster has offered to sponsor one year of his heart medication. Snowy is being fostered in Tampa, FL. We typically try to adopt within 3 or 4 hours of the foster home and require a completed online adoption application, home visit and meet and greet before an adoption is approved. Please email dyan@eskierescuers.org if you have any questions about Snowy. If you think you are his perfect forever home and wish to adopt him, please complete our online adoption application on our website: www.eskierescuers.org.
