About this Dog
We have quite the tail to tell you... This is Snow and he has really been through the ringer. Fortunately, he was sent a H-E-A-R-T guardian angel. A H-E-A-R-T Volunteer, who is a Police Officer happened to respond to a call for service for an "aggressive" Husky a few weeks ago. Upon arrival the dog was clearly stressed out but he was able to leash him and put him in a down without incident. The owner had purchased the dog earlier that day off of craigslist. He claimed the dog was going crazy in the apartment and biting at his arms. He wanted the dog removed. So the police took the dog to Animal Control, per protocol. Animal Control spoke with that owner plus the original owner. The person who purchased Snow off of Craigslist did not require any medical attention. The prior owner claimed she had to rehome Snow because she was relocating and that he had lived harmoniously with her young children but could be mouthy. But do you now know what that means for Snow? It means he has a bite history! Not understanding a dog or exasperating a situation can alter the course of an animal's life. Snow is a young, energetic dog who needs lots of exercise and stimulation. If an outlet is not provided, it's natural he could become frustrated. So now Snow had to do a bite quarantine at Animal Control. That means he is confined to a small space and not able to be handled by Volunteers, but only by shelter staff. We became invested in Snow because of the connection to H-E-A-R-T. We continued to keep tabs on Snow during this difficult time for him. Because he'd been labeled, we feared he'd be euthanized. But the shelter staff listened to our Volunteer's initial observations, and quickly became invested in his well being, too. After his quarantine the shelter evaluated him and determined he was only able to leave with a rescue partner. That means he's not able to be adopted by the general public due to his bite label. When we were able to interact with Snow we quickly realized he's not a Husky after all! While he has a Husky head, he has the body of a Samoyed. Possibly a Samsky mix. So we began to advocate for him with local Sammy groups. One group responded and even evaluated Snow, but didn't pull him. In the meantime we continued to help clear the shelter of their Huskies. We happened to post one of the other dogs we pulled and one of our long time, experienced, committed Fosters commented that he would be willing to foster that dog. Since we already had that dog in foster care, a light bulb went off! Maybe we could help Snow after all!!! Only one hurdle remained. We are not permitted by our insurance to rescue bite cases. After speaking with our insurance broker, and being able to provide first hand knowledge of the non-existent aggressive bite, we were given the green light. So we sprang Snow outta jail! Both his intake and outtake were at H-E-A-R-T hands. We have learned what the second owner experienced is a young, mouthy dog who needs to learn manners. But this is NOT an aggressive dog, and he is great with other canines! So we have some work cut out for us, but that won't stop us... we've been advocating for Snow since the moment he came into our H-E-A-R-Ts. If anyone is interested in adopting Snow, we recommend you have experience with working breeds. While his mouthy play behavior has gotten better, we would recommend a home with no children under 12 years of age. He will need a strong owner who can set appropriate boundaries, structure and expectations with him. He will also need a home with other medium/large breed dogs. Snow needs that pack mentality to thrive. He is also an affectionate boy who loves to give hugs and cuddles and sleeps with his foster dad. He will also need an owner who can keep him appropriately exercised and stimulated. His foster family reports Snow is: Mostly housebroken Crate Trained High energy Pulls on a leash Good with other dogs Needs a fenced yard Allowed on furniture Snow is located in MD. We are able to transport to neighboring states or anyone wishing to adopt can come to MD. He is 11 months old, neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped. Snow is ready for a home where he can continue to learn and flourish. www.huskyrescueteam.org

Adopt Snow and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Snow's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Snow's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Snow, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Snow's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Snow was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Snow’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Snow’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Snow’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
