Date into Rescue: 03/30/2025
Reason for being in rescue: Snowflake was seized by animal control. Carolina Poodle Rescue pulled him from a local shelter.
Foster location:  Dreamweaver Farm Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Ziggy Snowflake is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 04/23/25 had a massive dental and lost 14 teeth. Regular dentistry needs to be in his future.  He also had a case of coccidia. We have handled that.  
Weight: 12.5 lbs
Height: 16 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Adoption Fee: $399

Fence needed? No. Ziggy enjoys his yard here, but he would also love leash walks with you going with him. It's time together. That is what counts.  

What kind of home would be best for me? Snowflake is looking for a home where his humans are around most—or ideally all—of the day. He thrives on companionship and affection. He’ll be a wonderful addition to any household, whether you’re 8 or 98! Snowflake is a total cuddle bug who’s just looking for love and a cozy lap to call his own.

Thanks to his small size, Snowflake would be perfectly suited to any living situation, including apartments. He’d do well with a single person, a couple, or a family. If there are kids in the home, he’d prefer them to be 8 years or older and understand that he’s not a toy—but he’s definitely up for some fun playtime!

Snowflake would be perfectly content as an only dog, but he’s also open to having a small canine companion. He does not prefer dogs larger than him. Ziggy would love to romp around safely in a fenced-in yard with your dog or kids. While he hasn’t met our cats yet, he gets along just fine with other small dogs so far.

What is my personality like? Ziggy was seized by animal control. We don't know much about his past, only that it wasn't great and humans intervened. He's a sweet boy who really just wants a human. This little guy would be happiest with a comfy bed of his own (or your bed—he’s not picky), lots of lap time, and the chance to tag along on your adventures—especially if they end with a pup cup.

Snowflake is a joy to be around, and his future adopter will soon wonder how they ever lived without him. Come meet Snowflake—you’ll both be winners!

How do I act when I first meet new people? Snowflake loves people and loves the loving they can give to him. He’s always happy to make a new friend.

Other tips and tidbits: Snowflake is estimated at 7 years old. We celebrate his birthday as 03/30/2018.  We do NOT think Snowflake is hypoallergenic but is should be a very low shedder based on the condition of his coat when he came in.  

Please note - we are guessing on the breeds of Ziggy.  A DNA test would be interesting. 

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
