Meet Wilson!
Wilson is a stunning 3-year-old Giant Schnauzer weighing approximately 75 pounds. This handsome fella was found as a stray in Detroit and, despite having a microchip, it had never been registered and no owner could be located. Now Wilson is ready to leave his past behind and find the committed family he deserves.
Wilson is an impressive dog with the size, presence, and personality that make Giant Schnauzers such a remarkable breed. He can be a little shy when first meeting someone new, but it doesn't take him long to warm up. Once he's comfortable, his loyal and affectionate side begins to shine through, and he has all the makings of a devoted companion.
He has done well with other dogs his size and has demonstrated a good understanding of house manners. Wilson is currently learning the routine of his foster home and working on crate training. He has also started showing interest in toys as he becomes more comfortable and discovers the fun of being a loved family dog. He has not yet been introduced to cats, so his compatibility with feline friends is unknown.
Wilson does have a tendency to pull on the leash, but he responds well to correction. Because he is a large, powerful dog, a physically fenced yard would be ideal. Alternatively, he will need a strong, confident handler who is committed to continuing his leash training and can safely maintain control. Wilson is not appropriate for an invisible fence or tether.
Breed experience is required for Wilson's adopter. Giant Schnauzers are intelligent, loyal, powerful dogs that thrive with structure, consistency, training, and an involved family. Wilson will also require regular professional grooming to keep his distinctive coat healthy and looking its best.
Due to his size, energy, and needs, Wilson is not a good fit for an apartment, condo, or mobile home. He also comes equipped with an impressive deep bark and won't hesitate to alert his family when he thinks something deserves their attention!
Older, dog-savvy children would be the best match for this big guy.
Wilson is handsome, loyal, intelligent, and impossible to overlook. He's looking for someone who appreciates everything a Giant Schnauzer has to offer and is ready to give this magnificent boy the structure, companionship, and love he deserves.
Most importantly, Wilson is looking for a family that will love him furever.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.
Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal's temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
