Male Dog, Miniature Schnauzer
Miniature Schnauzer / Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (Medium Coat)
Description:
All dogs listed here are available for adoption from Yorkie Rescue Houston. Our goal is to ensure our rescued pets go to their forever home and never end up back in the system. To that end, an application is required on all potential adopters. Our adoption fee varies by dog. We accept electronic funds via VENMO or Paypal, or cash only. Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered are available for Foster-to-Adopt only. A FTA contract is required. Bite History! (minor)Nibbles is a GREAT dog! He loves to be the BOSS DOG and is protective of his humans. He devours and loves his squeaky toys and is a lovely addition. This little nugget did get a bit 'defensive' and bit. We don't know what the circumstances were surrounding the bite. The shelter reports it was 'minor' bite. We will tell you he presented as defensive and unfriendly at our vet. We were able to administer an anti-anxiety drug to help him deal with the stress of being poked/prodded. He was NOT happy about it, but we were able to get him vetted! We are working on helping him to learn trust. His adopter will need to be prepared to continue this type of counter-conditioning to help him become less reactive and more trusting and open to love. We have been able to crate him, and he does well in a crate. He's a great little dog who will get along with females, but is male selective. He can (and will) climb a baby gate. He's really very sweet and loves to be loved. He will roll over and show you his belly. He dislikes strangers and his family will need to give him some time to decompress and learn to trust. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS DOG IF YOU HAVE OR PLAN TO GET ANOTHER MALE DOG
