Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Freya is a brave little schnauzer who has already shown incredible resilience. This sweet girl was found running loose for weeks in a rural area near Fredericksburg, Texas, before a kind samaritan was able to safely take her in. The samaritan tried diligently to find her original owner, and when those efforts were unsuccessful, they reached out for more help. It appears Freya may have recently had puppies, adding to her history of hardship. Despite her past, she has a heart full of love to give. She does take a little time—about an hour—to warm up to new people. But once you're in her circle of trust, she is your most devoted shadow. Freya absolutely loves to snuggle and will follow you everywhere, eager to be close to her person. Now, Freya is patiently waiting for a safe and loving forever home where she can finally put down roots and be cherished. If you are ready to open your heart and home to this loyal companion, please apply to adopt Freya at www.adoggie4you.org. Her adoption fee is $350. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 4, 2025, 1:54 pm

Story
I`m Charlie, a mini Schnauzer mix that weighs about 27 lbs. I`m extremely sweet but a little nervous sometimes. Having another dog in the home helps me feel more confident. I love walks but get tired quickly and need to rest sometimes. I love meeting new people and dogs, everyone has the potential to be a really cool friend! My favorite thing is trying to find squirrels in the backyard. Even though I ask them nicely to come down and play, they always stay up in the trees, but I haven`t given up yet!Please check back for updates as my foster family gets to know me more. You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/JrsPupsNStuffInc Ask to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $450All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.
