Here's what the humans have to say about me:
he Wheaten Terrier/Schnauzer mix is a perfect combo for those with who are searching for an extremely smart and loyal family dog. Of utmost importance...they're famous for their great temperaments and loving ways. They're known to be trustworthy and great companions for family members and other family pets. Since this mix requires a certain amount of exercise and truly love being with their people...if a hike is the order of the day - count them in! Milo would be overjoyed to run through the Colorado mountains...and then crash on the couch snuggling close to is favorite humans and canines.
Milo is a beautiful and engaging pup who favors the body of the Schnauzer while taking on the Terrier scruffiness and very engaging qualities of the Wheaten Terrier. He appears to be a non-shedding (or lightly shedding) pup and will therefore require periodic baths/brushing and great nutrition to keep his coat healthy and silky-soft. As he loses the old hair of his shelter days, Milo's coat will grow in shining and less likely to shed.
Milo's sweet nature is just waiting to be enjoyed and appreciated (as you can see in his shelter photo, his tail is still wagging - always optimistic). Milo makes close playmates everywhere he goes. Milo is social (once he feels comfortable) and that means everyone he meets can ultimately becomes a friend. You know when a loved one approaches, Milo's tail starts the greeting and it wiggles up through his entire body ending in a smile. And if your lap is available, up Milo goes to snuggle and let you know the level of his devotion. Milo is such a wonderful being...we think he represents the best qualities of his breeds. At about 18 - 24 months old and 22 lbs (a perfect size to scoop up and carry close or to take a long walk in the sunshine), he seems to have left behind the neglect and lack of love that made up his early life (just a bit shy initially..then a lovebug). Milo has become a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please - the happier his family is with his behavior, the more he shines with his accomplishments. We would like to see Milo in a home that includes him in family time and activities...he's social and would thrive in a family that truly loves him and considers him a very important family member. Milo would be a wonderful companion for active retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with a truly adorable young pup. He would also enjoy a family..if the kids are very gentle and dog-crazy, Milo would be a happy guy. Milo doesn't require another dog to be happy...but does enjoy his relationships with kind and gentle dogs.
Milo will be arriving on transport in Boulder on 4/24/15. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/.
