Story

Princess is a great dog! She is a 45-pound, 9-year-old staffy who loves lounging around most of the day but also has tons of energy to play with toys and go for long walks or chase tennis balls at the dog park. She is very loving and loves to cuddle up at night under the covers. She loves her toys! She mostly ignores other dogs, but loves meeting new people at the dog park. She is in great health with no medical issues! The only issue I encounter is that I have a three-year-old daughter and Princess nips at her feet when she runs across the room. I am trying to find her a good home without small children or other pets.

Nova

Schnauzer (Miniature)

Female, Adult

Details

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, I’m Nova, a 7-year-old Mini Schnauzer with a big heart and a happy spirit. I love long walks, playing endlessly, cuddling, and enjoying peaceful mornings with my favorite people. I’m affectionate and happy just being near you, keeping you company. I’m tolerant of calm cats and dogs, enjoying relaxing together. If you want a loving companion for fun, affection, and quiet moments, I’d love to be with you. Care Notes: Nova will do best with an adopter who understands gentle handling and routine grooming. She is sensitive when her legs and feet are handled and may react by snapping, so a patient, experienced groomer or veterinary team is recommended. Her coat mats easily, and regular brushing and maintenance will help keep her comfortable. Nova will also need a dental evaluation and may require dental work, including possible extractions. The full extent of her dental needs is currently unknown, so adopters should be prepared for future dental care. *Adoption fee is negotiable
