In Loving Memory of Slater Snow. Slater, the beloved CCO of NPM, was a blind, 16 year old rescued Boston Terrier adopted from Boston Terrier Rescue of East Tennessee. He was a loved, valued, and priceless member of Amber Snow’s household since 2011. His favorite pastimes included eating steamed carrots, going for long walks, smelling the roses, and catching as many Z’s as possible. Slater represents all rescued pets and proudly raises awareness for animals with disabilities. Slater will be missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
