Miniature Schnauzer and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Fairfield, Connecticut

Hi there! I’m a happy-go-lucky little Schnauzer mix named Ralphie. I am about 2.5 years old, 19 lbs, and I was a scared little stray, just skin and bones, running with a pack of much bigger dogs through the streets of Laredo, Texas, when a lady picked me up. Fast-forward a few months, and I feel like a brand-new boy. Healthy, happy, friendly, playful, it turns out I’m a total keeper! Now neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped… I am ready for adoption!

My foster mom wants you to know that I’m a happy dog, wagging my tail from the moment I wake up in the morning, friendly with everyone, dogs and humans, and not interested in kitty cats. I love playtime and squeaky toys, Freshpet dog food at mealtime, and I never turn down a pupperoni treat. I am affectionate and kissy, listen well, and come when called, without being a velcro dog. I’m good at home without humans, always well-behaved, not destructive, housebroken, only bark when I need to alert you, and I don't guard anything. I love dog beds, going for walks, and I don't mind a ride in the car. Inquire about me today!
Adoption Fee: $750
