SNOW – A0511585
Safe - 2-19-2017 Staten Island
SAFE 2/19/17 Snow is an extremely gentle girl. We do believe she is blind, POSSIBLY can see shadows but this is doubtful. She gets around in her cage by smell, eating well and using the litter box. She came in as a stray and currently on ID hold. She will need immediate placement when hold is up.
