Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello doggy lovers. My name is Schatze and I was born in March 2008. I believe I am a lab mix but who really knows. I am spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and am in great health.
I was adopted three years ago after being found wandering the mean streets of Phoenix. I love my home and have had a great life, but I think I am ready to move out. My parents have a little girl that adores me but I am too big and playful for her. I was trained by my parents and went through the PetSmart training program. I graduated with honors, of course. My parents tell me that I am super smart and I believe them. I obey commands such as sit, lay down, stay, out, bed, and even roll over. I am potty trained with or without the dog door and am very patient even when I need to go. I prefer to be indoors and only need to go out morning and night to handle my business, unless you want to come throw the ball for me. I don’t destroy mom and dad’s things, but I can set records for demolishing dog toys, tennis balls, bones, and Frisbees.
At first I am a little shy and scared so I need time to warm up. Don’t be scared when we meet I just want to see what you are all about! I am extremely protective of my mom and am willing to be the same for you. I am very fun and will shower you with love and attention. I will even sleep in your bed to make you feel safe. I am a great watchdog, companion, and will help keep my family safe. All I ask is that I go to a home with no young children or other animals and get the same treatment you would want. Feed me twice a day, and maybe some scraps, and I will do anything for you. Come meet me so I can come home with you today!
