Story
  Meet Nigel— The calmest Mini Schnauzer you will ever meet!  A calm and gentle little guy who is discovering just how good it feels to be loved.Nigel is the best little 3-year-old Miniature Schnauzer mix who weighs just 13 pounds and until recently, his world was very small — he spent his life living outdoors in an 8x10 pen with other Schnauzer dogs....about 30. Now that he’s in a foster home, he’s getting his first real taste of family life, and he seems pretty convinced that this is exactly where he belongs. Nigel has a little bit of cat in him when you see how often her perches on the back of the couch cushions to view the goings on in the house with all the other dogs.  He loves them and loves his foster parents too!  A nice cuddle sessions makes him so happy and connected to his people and he is a little bit of a shadow boy as he loves to follow close behind his foster mom from room to room.  A lap or two in the new family would make him the happiest Mini Schnauzer on the planet! Let's just say that he wants to make up for some lost time in the starter years of his life. He’s a quiet, gentle, and curious little fellow who enjoys exploring his new surroundings and taking in everything going on around him.   Recently neutered this boy Nigel is going to settle in on housebreaking and he is certainly OK in a crate. He was recently groomed and a new start has begun with a shave down from the overgrown fur.  Now he has a soft and beautiful coat. Discovering toys and how fun life can be is certainly what lies ahead for Nigel.  We are praying for a life of luxury as he starts living inside a home appears to be new for Nigel, he is still learning some of the basics. He is not fully housebroken yet, but he is making progress with a consistent routine, crate training, and belly bands. He sleeps in his crate at night and stays there when his foster family leaves the house.   If you are interested, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com    PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comAugust 22, 2026, 5:42 pm

Story
Cannoli is freshly groomed and looking for her furever home. She is a 1.5 year old Schnauzer Mix. Cannoli is still learning to be a dog, and that people can be good. She is very wary being approached by people and needs a lot of time to get acclimated to someone to permit touching.  She will need another dog in the home to keep up her progress. She is high energy and will need someone who understands that. She is paper trained in house and walks nicely on leash, and will potty outside with regular scheduling. A fenced in yard will be required so she can chase birds to her hearts delight. Cannoli is not a city dog.  Cannoli is a sweet girl and has shown no aggression, she just needs a lot more confidence and someone who has patience. She will bond to her new person as she has done with the patience of her foster. Cannoli is spayed, microchipped and current on her vaccines. If you would like to meet Cannoli, please go to petresqinc.org to complete an adoption application. Any other questions will be answered once we have an application.August 22, 2026, 6:09 pm

Meet Beatrice: The Queen of Unbothered2 years old • 27 lbs of Pure JudgmentFully vetted • Spayed • MicrochippedFostered in Bergen County, NJAvailable in: NY, NJ, CT, PA, ME, VT, VA, DE, MD, RI, NH Forget "hot girl summer." Beatrice is pioneering "I sit on the patio and judge your life choices" summer, and honestly? It’s a vastly superior vibe. Her backstory is a classic "started from the bottom, now we're here" tale. Beatrice actually came to us from a breeder who was trying to give her away to the absolute first person who showed up. Their loss is your massive gain, because this petite, scruffy, schnauzer-coded girl has a face that looks permanently ready for a yacht she doesn't own (yet). She isn't begging for your attention, because begging is for amateurs. Instead, she simply leans her whiskery little face against you, quietly confident that she is the absolute center of the universe. And let’s be real—she is. The Resume:Dogs: Big fan.Cats: Totally cool with them.Leash Manners: Currently being polished (she walks like she's late for a brunch she didn't pay for).Housebreaking: A work in progress! Look, she lived a past life; she's currently unlearning her old ways and mastering the art of the outdoor potty.Vibe: Sophisticated, low-drama, and highly photogenic. If your home is lacking a soft-scruff silhouette, a thoughtful stare, and a dog who looks like she has a tiny, imaginary pipe and a tweed jacket, Beatrice is waiting.Apply to serve her at: houndsinpounds.org ##2793033##

Story
✅️Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to NY/NJ💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. 💙 Meet Baekseol 💙 ADOGS Instagram (KR): @adogs 💙 English Profile: @_adogs_rescue 1. Medical History - Neuter Status: Not completed - Other Notes: Currently undergoing heartworm treatment 2. Rescue Story Baekseol gave birth to her puppies, Heukkong and Baekkong, and was barely surviving with them in a trash-filled environment, eating leftover food scraps. Tied up on a short leash, she still managed to show a bright and cheerful attitude despite the harsh conditions. Heartbroken by their situation, ADOGS stepped in urgently to rescue Baekseol and her puppies. 3. Personality & Characteristics - Interaction with Humans: She is an incredibly friendly girl who loves people and shows absolutely no initial shyness. She will proactively approach you to show off her sweet, affectionate side. - Interaction with Dogs: She got along wonderfully with her puppies and coexists peacefully with her friends at the shelter without any issues. - Interaction with Cats: She has not encountered any cats yet. - Separation Anxiety: She has not shown any specific symptoms of anxiety, but since she is currently living in a group environment at the shelter, it is difficult to fully assess. She will need structured training from the beginning once she transitions to a home. - Potty Training: She currently prefers outdoor potty breaks at the shelter. However, she may need some retraining once her environment changes. - Grooming & Hygiene: She behaves beautifully and stays perfectly calm during grooming sessions. - Leash Walking: She follows her handler well and enjoys going on walks. - Motion Sickness: She rides well in the car without any signs of motion sickness during short-distance trips. - Biting/Aggression: She has shown absolutely no biting tendencies. - Barking: She has not shown any barking or whining behavior at the shelter, but she may need training if her habits shift in a home environment. - Likes: She absolutely loves treats! - Personality: She is a happy, charming sweetheart with a beautiful, bright smile.
