Story
Meet Bucky Mini Schnauzer / Maltese Mix | Male | DOB: 3/1/2024 | 15 Pounds | Healthy Bucky is 15 pounds of loyalty wrapped in a happy, wiggly body. At two years old, he’s the perfect balance — playful enough to keep life fun, mature enough to settle beautifully into a routine. He’s the kind of little dog who chooses his person and loves them with his whole heart. Personality Bucky is affectionate, bright, and deeply people-oriented. He enjoys walks, toys, and interactive play, but what he truly loves most is being close. He’ll follow you from room to room, curl beside you on the couch, and look at you like you’re the best thing that ever happened to him. He bonds strongly and thrives when he feels included. Breed Info A Maltese/Schnauzer mix often brings intelligence, trainability, and strong attachment to their people. They are companion-oriented dogs who do not thrive in isolation. Grooming will be part of her lifelong care, and mental engagement is important to prevent boredom. With proper training and routine, this mix becomes wonderfully loyal and well-adjusted Owner Responsibilities Daily companionship, gentle exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement. Bucky will flourish with routine and stability. Things to Consider Is your housing secure and pet-approved long term? Are you prepared financially for grooming, veterinary care, and emergencies? If your life changes — a move, new job, relationship changes — will Chelsea still have a place in it? Adopting a young dog means committing through every stage of life. Vet Care Even though Chelsea is healthy, it is important to establish care with your own veterinarian immediately after adoption. This ensures proper vaccination follow-up, growth monitoring, and preventative care planning. The 3-3-3 Rule The first 3 days she may feel unsure or overstimulated. The first 3 weeks she will begin understanding your routine. By 3 months, with patience and consistency, she will feel safe and truly at home. Adjustment is a process, not an instant transition. Why Bucky? Bucky is the kind of dog who becomes your little shadow and your steady companion. He will celebrate your return home, curl beside you at night, and offer loyalty that feels deeply personal. If you’re ready for a devoted best friend who chooses you every day, Bucky is ready to choose you back. If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue.

Story
Jake is a 2-3 year old, 20lb Schnauzer/Poodle mix (maybe? we don't actually know his breeds, it's all a guess).  Jake was found as a stray and dumped a shelter in Kansas.  He was with a couple other dogs when he was found but was the least terrified out of all of them.  The shelter reached out to us in hopes we could bring him into our foster program and help him come out of his shell and learn how to be a dog.  He has now been with us for a couple months and is ready to find his forever family!  When he was first found he was super matted and had a thick, dirty coat so he was completely shaved down.  His fur is starting to grow out again.  He has super soft, fluffy fur, and seems to be mostly non-shedding, but we cannot guarantee he is hypoallergenic since we don't know his background.  He will need regular grooming appointments though to keep him looking handsome and feeling great.   Jake has really started to blossom and learn all that life has to offer as a loved and cherished dog.  He seems to be a dog who picks one human to really bond with.  He follows his foster dad around the house everywhere and loves to snuggle with him.  He would do great in a lower key home with a human or humans who will be patient with him and let him learn to trust them at his own pace.  We know he will bond with his forever human the same way he has with his foster dad, he just needs to be given the time to do so.  He does well with cats and we will require he goes to a home with another dog so he can continue to learn from the behaviors of a confident dog.  Jake does great on a leash and is learning to loves walks around the neighborhood, romping around the backyard with the other dogs, and snuggling up with the other dogs and his foster dad during down time.   If you are interested in giving Jake a forever home, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2433456##

Hi, my name is Shortie! Kelsey and RezDawg Rescue saved me from being euthanized, and I am so very thankful. I was given a second chance at life — and I don’t take that for granted. Not only am I Shortie… I’m a total cutie too! I’m a 3 year-old Schnauzer who is a joy to be around. I love to play — chasing balls and fetching are some of my favorite things! I enjoy running in the yard, going on car rides, and being part of whatever my humans are doing. I get along great with kitty cats, other dogs, kids, and people of all ages. I’m social, loving, and happiest when I’m included. And when the day winds down? My favorite place is snuggled up right next to you in bed or curled beside you on the couch. I am neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines, including rabies, so I’m healthy and ready for my forever home. I survived. I was saved. And now I’m just looking for a family who will love me for the rest of my life. Could that be you? If you fill out a non-obligation adoption application you and I could meet and see if we are a good fit for one another and your family dynamics. I sure hope to meet you soon!! ##2666238##

Story
In case you haven't noticed, I'm a cutie. People call me a Benji. What's that? I was born in 2025 people, I don't remember Benji. But, sounds like he was a good guy, so think of me like him - I'm just waiting to be someone's best dog ever. Not sure I'll make it to the big screen, but a boy can dream . . . Won't you give me a chance? If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop ##2674673##

Story
Cosmo is a great example of why people love Schnauzers! Cosmo is 3 years old (such a great age..young enough to be a sponge that soaks up new information with a strong desire to please while being old enough to be past his babyish behaviors) and 33 lbs. This irresistible guy is a great medium size to accompany his family everywhere a well-behaved dog is welcome. He is a very sweet and loving guy. Cosmo is believed to be a Standard Schnauzer. We do not DNA test our rescue dogs, but he does have a cropped tail which makes us suspect that he could be a purebred. Of course we just cannot say for sure. Cosmo has a spirit about him that caught the attention of a compassionate Texas rescuer. She saved him from certain euthanasia at a scary high-kill shelter due to a lack of space, and fell in love with his sweetness and kind nature. She knew that Cosmo would be a natural companion for a Colorado family. While initially a bit shy, with some yummy treats and kindness, he absolutely blossoms. Cosmo's joy at spending time with kind and supportive dog-lovers is a joy to watch. He's filled with nothing but good-will and shares it with them 1000%. Since being released from the shelter, Cosmo has been enjoying backyard play, learning about leash skills and at day's end snuggling close. Farfel's Rescue feels that Cosmo would be a wonderful best friend for active dog-crazy retirees or a younger couple or individual that enjoys including a sweet fuzzy guy in their activities. Cosmo would be overjoyed with the time spent and togetherness, becoming a loyal best friend and a very important member of the family. Cosmo will also thrive with a family with dog-loving older kids who enjoy fun activities with their pup. They would be able to participate in positive reinforcement group training classes to teach Cosmo the skills to be able to accompany his family out in the community with excellent behavior. Farfel's will provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force free trainers in your area. Cosmo can be relied on, once confident in his surroundings, to share his love and best behavior with his humans. He is a devoted best friend who wants nothing more than to share time, play and learning new skills with a kind and committed family. We feel that a full-time workday outside of the home for his family won't work for Cosmo. He thrives on family-time and being at home alone while his people work full-time isn't in the best interest of this devoted companion. Cosmo will be very in-sync with a family that includes him in dog-friendly adventures, backyard fun, exploring the Colorado mountains or window shopping on Pearl Street to learn urban skills is perfect for Cosmo. A walk around the neighborhood socializing with neighbors would be an excellent way for this people-friendly pup to fine-tune his social as well as leash skills. Cosmo has a stunning and cottony-soft coat (appears to be non-shedding but we'll never swear to it) that will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming (approximately every 8 - 10 weeks) and great nutrition (5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement are recommended for general longevity and coat care). With this regimen, Cosmos coat will always be cottony-soft, shining and gorgeous with excellent health. Cosmo is available for adoption now! Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet, silly and absolutely wonderful best friend. Adoption apps can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Cosmo please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
