Meet Snail! As you can see from the photos, he has some of the most expressive eyes in Northside. One thing people love about Snail is how affectionate he becomes once he feels comfortable. True to his name, he prefers to move a little slowly and let friendships grow at his pace. During a recent visit with medical staff, he happily climbed into laps and leaned his full body against legs for pets. He seems to enjoy affection most when he asks for it, tail wagging and gently leaning in.
