Story
Frosted Tips is a four-year-old Miniature Schnauzer (she is Black and Silver with tan points). She is the sweetest girl you will ever meet! No jumping, no barking, soft mouth for treats, super quick learner! She picked up on how her foster mates eat dog treats (on a rug after coming in from outside) and by the end of the day on her first day, she went from not knowing what a treat is or even being interested in having one, to coming to her spot on the rug, patiently sitting and waiting for her turn (where she SOFTLY takes the treat from your hand!).
She is literally one of the sweetest, most affectionate I’ve ever. She became a foster at about 35 days pregnant (halfway), and she very quickly fit in with the adult dogs in the foster house. She can be left out when you’re not home (she lies in a dog bed, waiting for your return, or you can leave her in a pen and she will happily wait - without barking - for you to let her out. She will greet you with tail wags and whimpers of excitement to see you came back home to her. Frosted Tips thinks that human beds are the most amazing things created. Foster Tips sleeps with her foster mom and 4 other dogs in the bed with no issues. She goes to bed and doesn’t get up until foster mom says it’s time to go outside to potty. FT goes potty outside with the other dogs. She hasn’t yet figured out how to alert that she needs to go outside. If she has one available, she will use a pee pad, but she also misses and pees next to the pee pad at times. She is terrified of the vacuum.
She is not afraid of humans; she greets everyone with a wagging tail. She has lived with older children and all the kids handled her with zero issues. She has never even growled or shown disinterest in someone giving her affection. She doesn’t have experience with small/younger children, but knowing her personality, it is unlikely that she will have issues with her living in a home with little children so long as they know how to respectfully treat a dog.
She will probably be a Velcro dog, but she does not exhibit signs of separation anxiety.
She does not exhibit any signs of resource guarding, toy aggression, or other behavioral issues. She has made herself at home easily. She is not food motivated, so outside of getting her treat for going potty, she doesn’t care for treats. She simply doesn’t care about them. She does eat her dog food with no hesitation or issue.
She rides well in the car on a small dog bed, and she sleeps the entire time, only waking up for pets and kisses. She sits patiently for a bath, nail trim, etc. She is calm and has the best disposition. She is a joy.

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:
✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.
✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).
✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.
The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.
Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.
Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
