Story
Meet Jonathan Pearl! This 7 month old, miniature schnauzer (born July 6th) is 13lbs of adorable lovebug! He is a lovely cream color that seems to be getting lighter by the day and has the dreamiest eyes, the shade of that really pricey almond colored suede! This guy LOVES to be with his humans and sticks close by inside, happy to chomp on a toy and wait to capture your attention. He is doing well with walkng on the leash except for one thing... he wants to talk to everyone. Like, EVERYone (read: humans, dogs, birds, leaves blowing by... you get the gist). It doesn't always earn him other dog friends on walks, but when it does he is the happiest puppy ever! And while he can be a bit loud, it is 92% excitement, 7% awkward and 1% fear (but ZERO aggression).
He is also working on all the other important puppy skills like recall and sit and wait and leave it. He is super smart and we hope he will be ready to tackle taxes next. (If treats are involved, we really think he will do a better job than we will!)
He is allllmmmooost house trained and very good at alerting you when he needs a trip outside but he also understands the wee wee pad assignment! #rockstar. He has a very typical schnauzer bark ("it's a bit pitchy, dawg" as OG American Idol judge, Randy Jackson might say) and some separation anxiety when left solo. He likes his crate but he has big, loud thoughts with alone time and needs to make them heard!! We have no doubt that he will improve with time but he will definitely require a little patience on this front.
Honestly though, when he rests his sweet little self on you and snuggles in to Netflix and chill, he makes everything worth it. Adopt this dreamboat today!
Interested in becoming a forever home for Jonathan? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application.
Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws.
We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting Jonathan.
We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Jonathan the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us.
For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process.
Our adoption fee is $750. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses.
All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.
Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
