My name is Schuna!

Hi, my name is Shuna 🤍
I’m a female Schnauzer, weighing about 5kg (11 lb), and I’m only one year old—still just a baby.

I was rescued from an animal hoarding situation.
More than 80 dogs were crammed into a tiny space where it was hard to breathe.
There were no arms to hold me, no one to protect me.
I had to survive by guarding myself, all on my own.

Every day was filled with anxiety.
Every moment felt like competition.
In that place, I didn’t even cry—
I just endured… and endured again.

Thankfully, I was rescued and brought to a training center.
After my health check, everyone was surprised—
my body was miraculously healthy.
But in my heart, those memories are still deeply there.

The moment I saw my trainer for the first time,
I clung to their leg, almost desperately, begging to be touched.
That’s how much I had missed human hands.
That’s how badly I wanted to be held.
With my tiny body, I was pouring out my whole heart.

I truly love people.
I’m very affectionate, I focus only on my person,
and I find comfort and safety in human touch.

I’ve never lived alone before, so I do have separation anxiety.
That’s why I’m hoping for a home where someone can be with me most of the time, helping me feel secure.

I get along well with other dogs,
and I know how to socialize gently without fighting.

Everything about home life is new to me.
Living in a house, going on walks, spending ordinary days with people—
I’m learning all of it, step by step.

I’m only one year old, still so young.
I’m looking for a family who will teach me with love,
who won’t scold me when I make mistakes,
and who will softly say, “It’s okay.”

I’m a dog who wants to be loved—
deeply, desperately.
Affectionate, devoted, a dog who knows only people.

Now, I hope for a day when I don’t have to cling and beg for love,
but can naturally curl up in arms that are truly mine.

I’m waiting—
for a family who will hold me warmly and never let me go 🤍
