NEW! Danny 2026-05-11 – Schnauzer • Adult • Male • Small





Danny is a handsome five-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who found his way into rescue after being discovered as a stray. When no one came forward to claim him, he was welcomed into foster care where he received the medical attention he needed. During his evaluation, Danny tested positive for heartworm—but after completing treatment, we’re happy to share that he is now heartworm negative and on prevention!
Danny is what we lovingly call a “work in progress.” He is incredibly devoted to his person and can be a bit clingy, which we believe may be due to some hearing impairment and possibly never having had a person to call his own before. He thrives on companionship and is happiest when he’s close to his human.
He gets along well with other dogs and is learning how to play, though he sometimes needs gentle reminders that he’s not the boss. Like many dogs who have experienced life as a stray, food is very important to Danny. He gets excited at mealtime and may bark, but settles down once his meal is served.
The good news–Danny is utd on vaccines, neutered, had a dental, and is both housebroken and crate trained!
Danny’s ideal home would be with someone who is home more often than not—someone patient, understanding, and willing to help him continue learning what a loving, stable life looks like. With time, consistency, and love, Danny has all the potential to become an incredible companion.
If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow to share your life with, Danny might just be your perfect match.

Teddy 2023-08-33 – Mixed Breed • Young • Male • Small




I was brought into rescue because I was on a busy street and a good person saw me and scooped me up so I didn’t get hurt. I had no idea where I was, and I was so scared.
When I arrived at my foster home, they took me to the doctors to get a check up and found out I am a special boy. They had taken me to a specialist to ensure I would be ok. It was found that I have something called a neurological disorder. The doctor said I was probably born this way, but I don’t know any different. I just know that I love everyone! Because of this issue I can not see very well but I am a very smart boy and learn my surroundings. I have even learned to go up the stairs (outside on their deck) during the day at my fosters house. Nighttime I have a harder time, so my foster mom helps me. I haven’t mastered going down because I get quite scared I will fall. I am good boy and go potty outside as long as you keep me on schedule I can follow.
I do wish to have a friend to play with. I love to play with my foster sisters and brothers. I would prefer a smaller friend to play with as big friends scare me. Don’t let my age fool you though. I love to snuggle with my foster mom and dad. Whenever they are sitting and relaxing, I prefer to be doing that with them.
Do you have a special place for me to continue to learn? If so, please fill out an application and my foster mom will be in contact with you.

Henry 2024-03-07 and Helen 2024-03-08 – Bonded Pair-Schnauzer/Terrier Mix and Schnauzer • Adult • Male/Female • Small





Henry is approx. 7-8 years old, 12 lbs. schnauzer/terrier mix (maybe some Beagle?). He LOVES his person and constantly will follow you around the house. His favorite activities include snuggling, napping, and hanging outside. He is house trained, does OK on a leash, and rarely makes a noise. You may hear him whine a little bit if he doesn’t know where you are. While out of the house, he is either left out or in the office with the door closed. He is trusted and doesn’t use a crate. He can do stairs and jump off/on the bed and couch.

Helen is approx. 9-10 years old, about 10 lbs. and a schnauzer mix (with the fluffiest tail and floppy ears). This lady is an angel. She is mostly blind and partially deaf but gets around well. This does not stop her so don’t let it stop you! Helen loves lounging in the sun, napping, and generally being the sweetest pup in the land. This gal is low maintenance and does not bark at all. She isn’t leashed train so a fenced in yard is required. She does need picked up to put on bed and couch. You just kind of pick her up, put her where you want her, and she’s good to go. She is house trained and like Henry is either left out or put in the office while her foster parents are out.
Both dogs do well in the car, at the groomer, and at the vet. They do have sensitive tummies and take a probiotic but are healthy. Both Henry and Helen eat casually when they are hungry but do like treats. Both spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, and on flea/heartworm preventative. They have been around children as young as 2, not tested with cats, and get along with other dogs. If you are looking for quiet, chill dogs that are full of love and sweetness then this is the pair for you!

Oscar 2025-02-04 – Schnoodle • Young • Male • Small



I’d love to have a playmate and my foster mom says I must have a fenced in yard so I can run and work off some of my energy. I love to cuddle with my foster mom and give kisses to all. I really like people and am a good boy – most of the time. I get really scared at the vet and groomer; I don’t try to bite or anything, but my doctor says I flail (whatever that means), so I have to take some drugs to calm me down a bit, and I get groomed at the vet. I’d love to find my forever home soon!
From mom: Oscar is quite the character. He’s house and crate trained, neutered, chipped and is current on his vaccines and heartworm meds. Oscar must have a fenced yard, he walks and potties fine on a leash, but he really needs to let off some energy (or he will let it off in the house!). Oscar came from a bad situation, and gets scared at the vet and groomer. I have groomed him a couple times (clean ups), but for a full groom, he is sedated at the vet. I have tried the mobile groomer (he does get carsick), but the clippers and scissors freak him out, and the groomers (we’ve tried a couple), are worried he’ll injure himself trying to get away.
He has been boarded several times and does very well. He loves people and is very friendly and social with other dogs (he drives the old men here crazy). No idea with cats (he might give chase) but I don’t think he’d know what to do if he caught one. He loves to look at the deer that come in the yard. I think he’d be great with older kids (10+), I’d be worried he might knock smaller kids over though. He’s very athletic and can jump and climb, so any fence needs to be an appropriate height.
He loves his food and especially his cookies. He doesn’t really have any interest in toys, I’m not sure he understands what they are. I think Oscar would do best with a doggie buddy who can show him the ropes. He’s good inside (unless energy!) and doesn’t chew or get into things he shouldn’t.
Oscar’s adoption fee is only $350. He is fostered in Michigan, so is enjoying the snow. Oscar needs someone to work with him and have patience while he’s settling in and getting used to a new home. I also think training would be helpful (he loves to be busy, so redirecting him would be a great thing). Oscar just needs love and the ability to sleep on the couch.
If you think you’d be a great fit please fill out the application to start the process.

NEW! Azzie 2026-03-05 – Mixed Breed • Young • Male • Small




Azzie can be high energy and fun loving. This little guy loves to play! He’s content playing by himself but also enjoys having someone to have to play with as well. Azzie loves to be outdoors! If you’re looking for a pup for hiking, going to the park or just daily walks, Azzie is ready to be your little adventure companion.
For a little guy, Azzie has a loud personality and with the right family, it will be the perfect blend! He might need a little time in the beginning to adjust to new surroundings and new people, but once you are in Azzie’s circle of trust, he loves you and loves hard!
Azzie has been around cats but thinks it fun to chase them so cats may not be a good fit. He has also been around children, but a slow introduction is still recommended. Azzie never says no to a game of chase with them. Azzie makes the cutest pair leg warmers since his favorite play to lay is on your legs. This snuggle bug will also keep you warm at night, sleeping right by your side.
Azzie needs to be on special food due to his propensity to have bladder stones. He eats both wet and dry urinary prescription food. Some side effects from the prescription food can be increase thirst and urination, which is normal. This does make it hard for house training, however Azzie is good at using pee pads.
I hope that someone takes a chance on Azzie, giving him the time he needs to adjust to a new environment. Once you get to know him, he’s just a great little guy and has so much to offer someone who’s ready to add some personality to their home.

NEW! Max 2026-03-08 – Schnauzer Mix • Young • Male • Small




This handsome 20 lb. schnauzer mix finds himself in rescue due to his initial home not being the best fit for him. He is now looking for that furever family to grow old with.
Max had a very loving home with another dog and children, but it was just to active of a home for him. The busy home and children playing made this guy very nervous, and he spent a lot of time hiding. Noticing this, the family made the difficult decision to reach out to rescue to find a home that was a better fit.
Max loves his toys and car rides, knows the doggie door and steps and is housebroken. He would love a home with a physical fence since he loves to run, no children (no exceptions) and a quiet home life. He would also love to have a dog close to his age to play with.
If you think Max might be the next best friend for your family, please fill out the application below.

NEW! Taco 2026-03-09 – Schnauzer • Senior • Male • Small




Meet Taco!
Have you ever seen a more adorable senior schnauzer! Taco is 10 lbs. and is considered special needs due to his sight being limited by cataracts. We had considered doing surgery for a little taco, however the amount of eye drops in a day and then drops for the remainder of his life weren’t something we felt he would tolerate.
Considering the cost, we wanted to assure Taco would tolerate getting drops so we started a trial with lubricant eye drops just to see how he would do, and let’s just say he’s not a fan.
Taco’s foster mom has done a fabulous job bringing this senior guy pulled from a shelter out of his Shell. Here is what she has discovered with this guy.
Taco is a handsome smoky gray, ten pound bundle of joyful schnoodle! He doesn’t let blindness get in the way of having fun! This energetic fellow loves to go on walks, play with squeaky toys and toss the tennis ball in the air. Taco has mapped out his single level foster home and navigates freely. He shadows his foster mom by following close behind and occasionally tapping her heels with his nose. His best furever home would be where the furniture stays in the same place to help him feel secure.
He continues to work on house breaking and does well when his potty schedule is regular. He uses a trendy little male wrap for his accidents as needed.
Taco is 10 years old, neutered, microchipped and UTD on vaccines. He is crate trained and needs a fenced yard for his safety. He loves to nap with his foster kitty and pays little attention to his foster dog brothers. He is frightened of children so a child free home is recommended.
Taco is looking for a patient adopter and loving home where he can use his super power sensory strengths of hearing and smell to move about safely and relish in his golden years.
If you think Taco sounds like the perfect boy for your family, please fill out the application below.

NEW! Maurice 2026-03-10 – Schnauzer/Terrier Mix • Adult • Male • Small



Maurice is a very energetic and happy boy! He has a charming, puppy-like demeanor. He loves to play chase and wrestle with his foster dog siblings. He also loves to play with toys of all kinds: balls, stuffies, tug toys, food puzzles etc. He can also entertain himself with toys. Maurice enjoys the outdoors and loves running and playing in a fenced yard. Maurice has been around children and has done very well and soaks up all the attention.
Maurice has Atypical Cushings Disease, which makes him drink and urinate frequently, which can be challenging for house training, so he still can have accidents inside. However, Maurice doesn’t mind wearing a belly band/wrap and also is good at using pee pads. He takes a daily supplement to help with his Atypical Cushings Disease.
Maurice is an amazing boy and he will make the right family so happy. His sweet brown eyes and wiggly little body will warm your heart.

NEW! Rosie 2026-05-12 – Schnauzer • Young • Female • Small





Rosie does great on a leash, and is always very curious about meeting other people and dogs on our walks. She has learned to sit and stay and LOVES toys, her favorites being crinkle toys and soft frisbees; she also has learned to fetch with mini tennis balls! New and engaging toys have been great for Rosie, since she is a busy little girl!
She is housebroken although still learning the best way to notify us when she needs to go out. Currently she is learning to jingle the bells we have hung on the back door. She also has learned to use a dog door and loves being outside. She often gets a little excited when her people come home and has had little accidents, so a fenced in yard is a must so she can relieve herself quickly. She is mischievous sometimes in the yard with digging and eating bits of grass, so she will need parental supervision to make sure she doesn’t eat anything she’s not supposed to!
Rosie sleeps in our human bed throughout the night without issue, and she is allowed to roam free when we are out; however we typically limit that to 4-5 hours, which is not difficult since we work from home. Someone who is home more often than not and has plans to incorporate their dog into their daily life is what we are looking for – Rosie spent a lot of time alone and in a crate before she came to us, and she has completely changed and thrived in this new environment.
She is great with other dogs as mentioned, although due to her size the smaller the better. She is also good around kids, having lived with a toddler before, and has met a few children with us (ages 4-8). She has not been tested with cats. She’s very curious and engaging, but can be jumpy around new people and in new situations – it’s best to take things slowly with Rosie, letting her become comfortable at home before introducing her to every acquaintance (which you will likely want to do, since she is clearly a gorgeous girl!).
If you think you might be the right family and home for Rosie, she is being fostered in Columbus, OH. Her adoption fee is $600, which covers her initial vetting and spay which have been completed in February. Rosie does not have any health issues, handles grooming well, and is great during car rides.
