My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Spay/Neuter of dog is scheduled at a vet of our choosing and is part of the adoption fee - date will be on the adoption contract - this is if not already sterilized.   We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available.

Obedience training and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups.   Completion certificate for training needs to be emailed once complete.  When applying pictures/videos of your fully enclosed yard is needed.

Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com

Meet Pretzel: The Little Miracle with a Big Heart!
Hi, I’m Pretzel! I am a super cute, lovable 8-month-old Schnauzer mix pup (approx. DOB 6/1/25). I might be small, but I have a story of huge resilience. I was rescued from a backyard breeder in Pinellas County. When I was first saved, I couldn't walk at all, but I’ve worked so hard, and I am now a happy, zooming puppy who loves life!
My Personality
I am incredibly sweet and affectionate. Now that I’ve learned how to walk, I love to explore! I am playful, eager to be loved, and just want to be with my people.
My Medical Journey
I do have some ongoing neurological problems with my back, but that doesn’t slow my spirit down! My wonderful rescue is working hard to raise funds for a specialized neurologist consult to find out our best options for my care. I am looking for a special adopter who can help me continue my journey to becoming as strong as possible.
My Ideal Home
  • Other Dogs:  Yes, I get along great with other dogs!
  • Cats:  I don’t mind them at all.
  • Kids:  Because I’m still a puppy and a little "mouthy" when I get excited, I am recommended for a home with mature children.
If you are looking for a lovable, brave little companion and are willing to manage my neurological needs, I am ready to be your best friend.

Pretzel's adoption fee is $500 - obedience training is required after adoption and fully enclosed front or backyard is also required.
