Fun in the Snow with Zoey
Hi everyone! My name is Zoey and it is fantastic to meet you. I’m a gentle and affectionate dog who is currently loving the amount of snow we have here at AWS! While some people may be dreading a snowstorm, I absolutely love snow! It’s so much fun to run through! My friends at AWS thought this week would be a perfect time for me to be the Pet of the Week to share how much fun I like to have in the snow!
A Fluffy and Fun Environment
One of the reasons dogs like myself like the snowy tundra is that is gives us an entirely new environment to play in! Finding a new coating of snow on the ground in winter gives us a whole new world of fun. Snow moves as we run through it and when it’s as tall as it is now it can feel like we’re almost swimming through it! I love to run around and feel the nice cold air breeze by as the snow flies all around me.
All New Ways to Play in the Snow
Along with a new environment, snow gives us all new ways to play! From simply running and digging in a big snowy pile (which I LOVE to do) to finding treats hidden in the snow, the fun is endless. Finding new ways to play in the snowy ground gives me so much joy and enrichment in the winter months. As you can see in the photo, even just playing with one of my regular toys is more fun in the snow as it offers variety in how I can use it!
Nothing Beats Fetch in the Snow
If one thing is for certain, nothing makes fetch more fun for me than adding snow into the mix! I’ve been known to have a love for tennis balls, so throwing snow makes it even more fun. Good thing they are bright yellow so I can spot them amongst all the white. Adding a snowy obstacle in my way to retrieving the ball and bringing it back to you gives me a more challenging objective. And I’m always up for a fun challenge!
So, raise your paw if you love snow as much as I do! I’ve been described as a sweet and fun older gal who loves some quality belly rubs. I can’t wait to meet my new best friend, and I hope they enjoy being outside in the snowy tundra as much as I do! If you or someone you know is interested in bringing me home, come by the Adoption Center or call (207) 985-3244.
