Story
Arnold “Schnauzer” – Comeback Kid Some heroes wear capes. Arnold Schnauzer is starting his comeback in a freshly shaved schnauzer coat. Arnold is a 5-year-old Schnauzer mix who was found in a backyard where he clearly hadn’t been fed regularly. When animal control rescued him, he was matted, filthy, and heartbreakingly thin — weighing just 11 pounds when he should be closer to 15–17. His coat had to be shaved down to the skin, revealing every rib and bone beneath. His skin was sore and his body fragile. But somehow… Arnold’s spirit never quit. Despite everything he endured, he is outgoing, playful, and incredibly trusting. Arnold greets the world with enthusiasm and believes every human deserves a generous helping of kisses. Now safe in foster care, Arnold has begun his comeback training plan: many small meals, probiotics, omega oils, and lots of TLC to help his body rebuild strength. Right now Arnold is working on his comeback — building muscle, gaining weight, and perfecting his very important skill of kissing every person he meets. He’s great with other dogs, crate trained, and already doing well with housetraining. Arnold has survived the hard part of his story — now he just needs someone to write the happy ending. And if you ask him about his future? He’ll tell you: “I’ll be back… for dinner.” Quick facts: • 5 years old • Schnauzer mix • Currently 11 lbs (goal weight 15–17 lbs) • Affectionate, playful, and resilient • Great with other dogs • Crate trained • Doing well with housetraining • Currently rebuilding strength in foster care Arnold doesn’t need a perfect home — just a loving one where the food bowl stays full and the kisses are returned. Arnold will be neutered as soon as his body can handle it. He is up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.

PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you! We will connect you to her foster! LOCATION: Foster home ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org) ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for this dog: $595 ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 75 lbs is our best guess ESTIMATED AGE: 7 months in Jan. 2026 KNOWN WITH DOGS: A typical puppy - friendly, outgoing, playful and curious. Loves other dogs so would do well in a home with another one…or can be an only pup if you promise to get her some friends! As Buffy is on the shy side she relishes the guidance of another dog! KNOWN WITH CATS: Her foster home has two cats. If the cats are calm, she is calm and just sniffs. She will often lay near a calm cat and do nothing at all. She will chase after them *playfully* if they run. She is learning. She has shown ZERO aggression towards them. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Great. She can be excited and jumpy sometimes – typical puppy behavior but does well with the kids in her foster home. KNOWN COMMANDS: Is learning lots – foster will gladly share with you all that she is learning! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: She is doing excellent, very quiet in her crate. She knows when its bed time. She'll often just go in there for some quiet - though she also loves stretching out on the couch. She is also doing great in housebreaking, although a dog in any new environment may have accidents as they acclimate. KNOWN LIKES: KNOWN LIKES: Playing, treats, napping, chewing and romping in the sun. Buffy is shy and will need a home with another dog. A house vs. apartment will likely be best for her. KNOWN DISLIKES: None know so far. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Buffy is an adorable girl who would love to finally find her adoptive home. She can be quite shy so she really needs a home with another dog and a home that is not too chaotic. She is great with kids and dogs and lives well with cats HT ADOPTION INCLUSIONS: Spay/Neuter First 3 distemper series vaccines and de-wormings Microchip - lifetime with no registration fees Current on heartworm preventative Current on flea/tick preventative EXCLUSIVE ADOPTER BENEFITS: Free first exam with: - Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Palisades Veterinary Clinic, Jermantown Animal Hospital and Clarendon Animal Care and all VCA Animal Hospitals (VCA offers $250 coverage - details provided) - Free online workshop with a professional dog trainer at Fur-Get Me Not within the first 30 days of adopting (in DC/Arlington/Alexandria only) - Best Paws Forward Training Program – HT adopters ONLY ***A portion of EVERY ADOOPTION fee supports spay/neuter for animals in under-resourced communities ***BE A FOSTER: Save a life: http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program.

Story
Sasha is a silly, spunky, and incredibly sweet girl who brings joy wherever she goes. From the very first day she met her foster family, she showed her warm and loving nature and she’s only continued to blossom more with each passing day.Sasha is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate. She loves cuddles (in short, happy bursts before she’s off on her next adventure) and will even try to “hug” you by standing up on her hind legs. Around the house, she enjoys following her people, joining in on playtime, and just being part of the action.This fun-loving pup is a big fan of walks and is learning great leash manners. She’s been practicing sitting at crosswalks and is making steady progress, though she may pull occasionally when something exciting catches her attention. Her foster`s say that `Sasha is highly treat-motivated. So much so that she’ll tolerate bath time in exchange for a few tasty rewards (even if she hops out of the tub once or twice!).`Playtime is one of Sasha’s favorite things. She loves tug-of-war, playing independently with her toys, and using her brain to sniff out hidden treats around the house. She’s even been working on her athletic skills and can now catch toys mid-air during fetch! Sasha is generally friendly with people and warms up quickly, though she can sometimes feel unsure when unfamiliar individuals approach in public. Because of this, she would likely thrive in a quieter home with older children or adults who can help her feel safe and supported.her foster`s noticed `When it comes to other dogs, Sasha shows mixed but promising signals. She often wags her tail when she sees other pups especially puppies but can occasionally feel unsure and may bark or try to approach them. Interestingly, she’s able to calmly pass many dogs on walks without reacting, even if they bark at her. With proper introductions and guidance, she may enjoy having doggy friends.` Sasha is doing wonderfully with her home routines. She sleeps well in her crate, keeps herself entertained, and patiently waits for her people in the morning. She’s had no accidents and will give subtle cues like sniffing her leash when she needs to go out, though she does best on a consistent schedule. She’s generally not very vocal, aside from excited moments like gearing up for a walk or during playtime.Like many young dogs, Sasha can feel a bit anxious at times, especially when left alone or crated overnight away from her people.

Story
IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures. Meet Lexi's Esme! Esme was born on 2/16/26. We guess Esme is a Schnauzer/Terrier Mix, but this is JUST A GUESS. Lexi is her mom and is about 20 lbs. We have included her pic. We have no idea on the Dad. Esme is the most independent of the pups and carries herself with quiet confidence. She’s incredibly smart and already a pro at using the pad—such a champ! She enjoys her meals and is perfectly content entertaining herself with her toys, making her an easygoing and self-sufficient companion. Esme requires an adopter who is home a good portion of the day to continue training—no exceptions. NOTE: The adopter is the one who needs to be at home a good portion of the day. This puppy is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped and will need to be spayed/neutered at 6 months of age. The Adoption Fee for this puppy $400.00 plus a $100.00 spay/neuter refundable deposit. ***Please note, this pup's immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age and therefore, s/he is not suited for Apartment/Condo living or Town homes without a private fenced yard and will not be able to go to public places where s/he could possibly be exposed to the germs of unvaccinated dogs, such as PetSmart/PetCo and dog parks until s/he is 16 weeks old*** ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** The adoption fee for this dog is $400, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. This fee DOES NOT INCLUDE spay/neuter if the pup is not already spayed/neutered. If the animal you are adopting is not already spayed/neutered, you will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered. A $100.00 fee will be returned to the adopter once the animal has been sterilized. We will provide information on this process during the approval process. ***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs and/or all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many! ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
