Owner Info: Snowy is an adorable little fellow whose owner wanted a dog her children could play with.  She recently started working and her children will be going to school, and she's unable to give Snowy the time and attention he needs.  She writes that he stays all day in the bathroom where he feels safe, even though he knows his way around the house.  She knows this is no life for a dog.  She would like to find him a home where they can give him time and attention!  She has had Snowy since he was a puppy.  She got him from a friend who found him and his litter abandoned in a back yard.  Snowy's owner says he is completely blind, but doesn't know why.  He's never been to a vet, but she writes that he looks healthy and is energetic and eats well!  Snowy is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is not housebroken or leash trained.  He's good with people of all ages, and with female dogs.  They also own a male dog, and if that dog goes after his food or steps on him, Snowy has snapped.  Snowy is possessive of food and does not like his food to be touched when he's eating.  His owner wants us to know that she "really loves animals that is why I have kept him for 2 years but its become very hard in my life to have time to be at home and spend with him. I really want him to find a home with someone who is going to love him and play with him. He is very playful and just wants attention. I feel very sad that I don't give him enough of that."
