Snowball has lived at the shelter since he was seven months old, which is terribly unfair. His owner got him as a present and did not have time to take care of him. Having spent more than 2 years at the shelter Snowball remains playful, energetic, and sweet. Yet, he is a very big and strong dog, with a dominant strong playful personality and protective instincts, a true representative of his breed. Therefore, he needs an experienced owner, a leader with a strong-willed character, and a kind heart. It will be very important to set up boundaries and an obedience regime, so commitment to training, socializing, and exercising this dog throughout his life is a must. As a reward, the owner will enjoy the best characteristics of the Dogo Argentino breed. Like all Dogo Argentinos, Snowball is very affectionate and sensitive and needs constant physical contact with a person. The breed is known for its loyalty and Snowball needs his own person whom he would love and protect. Snowball is good with children, and, with appropriate training, he can be a great family dog. He also gets along with female dogs but not with males so far. Snowball needs regular active walks and space. If you are ready to open your heart to him, you will find a loyal, loving, affectionate, and playful companion.
