My name is Renzo!

Meet Renzo !!
We recently took in this guy when his family could not keep him due to allergies.
“Doodles” ARE NOT HYPOALLERGENIC!! This is a common misconception with the doodle craze. They generally have a mixed hair type of both parents. Sadly many lose their homes when the puppy hair changes and the allergies are affected.
Renzo is a 11 month old, male. He is supposed to be a Schnauzer and Poodle mix. He weighs 35 pounds.
He will be neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped as part of his adoption. He is thankfully Heartworm negative and on preventatives.
Renzo came to us with limited training and socialization aside from his brother. He’s learning a lot in his foster home. He is a very sweet, playful and fun puppy. He also has a very snuggly side after he has played.
He does great with other dogs. He loves playing so another active playmate would be great for him. He can be extremely vocal when seeing and playing with other dogs. This can be upsetting to some dogs. He has not been around cats.
Renzo was raised around kids and is very loving toward them. He is however an excitable puppy. He still jumps on people when excited. He may jump on or knock over little ones on accident. He is not always high strung but has bursts of excited energy where he forgets his manners.
He is working hard on his puppy training but still has a ways to go. He is crate trained but won’t always go in on his own. He can be vocal about not wanting to be in there but he is learning. He is working on his leash training and will pull when excited. Renzo is good on car rides. He is doing fairly well with potty training. He does not go in his crate and tries to go to the door to let you know he has to go out. He still has some accidents at times until he learns the routine and schedule.
He has a higher energy level. He needs an active family prepared to meet his energy needs and training needs. Both poodles and Schnauzers are breeds with a lot of energy. When you mix these breeds together you typically get a energetic dog that requires time and effort to exercise. A dog that is not given the proper outlet for their energy quickly becomes frustrated and will act out with negative behaviors. This is why it is vital to not pick a high energy dog if you are not committed to the work that comes with it. This sweet boy needs to play and run every day along with things that work his brain as well.
Schnauzers are very intelligent dogs. He would do best with a fenced yard or an active daily runner. When he has been exercised properly he is very relaxed and calm in the house.
He has not had any issues sharing toys, treats or food with humans. He’s shared well with other dogs so far but is fed separately so we aren’t sure how he would do about other dogs and his food. He is very food motivated.
His foster says overall he’s a good puppy that just needs time and structure to learn. She says he is fairly easy to have in the home when given exercise each day.
Vet and home checks required.
Located in Hampton VA.
(He will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius)
