Story
McGraw (aka “The Audacity in a Fur Coat” ) McGraw is a 6-month-old Schnauzer mix who radiates confidence, charm, and pure audacity. He’s cute — offensively cute — which is fortunate, because he’s also a bit of a menace. Honestly, he’s lucky he’s handsome. It’s the only reason we haven’t sent him packing for his unapologetic antics. He’s brilliant, but not in a helpful way. You can expect a constant stream of feedback—he’s nothing if not expressive. He’ll let you know exactly how he feels about everything— sometimes through barking, sometimes through grumbling, and occasionally through what we’ll call “constructive growling.” Don’t worry, it’s mostly just his way of expressing that you’ve mildly inconvenienced him. He’s the type of dog who’ll steal your heart and your spot on the couch, then growl when you try to take it back. He does well with kids, cats, and other dogs — assuming everyone understands who’s in charge here (hint: it’s McGraw ). He’s crate trained, picking up house training, neutered, vaccinated, and running entirely on confidence and misplaced self-importance. He’ll make you laugh, cry, and question your life choices , often in the same hour. McGraw will require an adopter with either a lot of experience or the patience of a saint — preferably both. You’ll need a sense of humor, low blood pressure, and a good understanding of irony. If you enjoy sarcastic commentary, mildly toxic relationships, and being bossed around by someone under two feet tall, McGraw is your guy. Apply now, or don’t— his self esteem will remain unaffected.

Age:   approx 2 years old   Weight:  12  lbs My adoption fee is $ 550  which includes transportation charges to the Northeast.   Meet Lacy Ann! Lacy Ann is a 2&#226&#128&#145year&#226&#128&#145old, 12&#226&#128&#145lb Schnauzer mix from Texas with a heart as big as her journey. She’s a deeply loving, gentle girl who just needs a patient adopter willing to give her the time and reassurance she deserves. Once terrified of humans, Lacy Ann has made incredible progress. When she bonds with her person, she becomes wonderfully loyal, affectionate, and eager to please. Her trust is something you earn—and once you have it, it’s truly special. Lacy Ann is still working on potty training, but with consistency and patience, she’ll get there. Outside, she becomes playful, curious, and full of joy, showing glimpses of the carefree dog she’s becoming. She’s looking for someone who can offer a calm home, steady routines, and lots of love. If you’re willing to go slow and let her blossom at her own pace, Lacy Ann will reward you with unwavering devotion.

Story
Meet Cooper! Cooper is a happy, affectionate boy who truly shines when he’s out and about with his people. He loves going for walks and would be just as content exploring a hiking trail as he would be curled up beside you for a movie marathon. When Cooper steps out of his kennel, his face lights up with the biggest, brightest smile; and we know that smile will only grow once he finds his perfect fur-ever home. Cooper was adopted and returned after struggling with anxiety around unfamiliar people. With a little patience, structure, and understanding, he shows just how loving and loyal he can be. To help set him up for success, Cooper comes with post-adoption training support to help his new family feel confident and supported every step of the way. Cooper is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. He would thrive as the only pet in an adult-only home where he can soak up all the love he deserves. In the right environment, this sweet boy is ready to be an amazing adventure buddy, couch companion, and best friend!
