Dusty - Miniature Schnauzer and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Fairfield, Connecticut

Hello, nice people! My name is Dusty, and I am a very handsome Schnauzer mix, 8 months old and 15.4 lbs. You may be surprised to know I was dumped at a park, but this is in Texas, so it's not that surprising. Anyway, a nice family picked me up, but they already had 4 dogs, so 4 Little Paws Rescue took me in. These days, I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find a forever family that lasts forever!

Turns out I am a very nice little boy with a happy attitude, just a bit shy when meeting new people, and friendly/submissive when meeting new dogs and kitty cats. Otherwise, I warm up quickly, and then my spunky personality shines through, and playtime begins. My favorite game is playing fetch, and I love chew toys and squeaky toys. Get ready for some snuggles and kisses because I am very sweet and affectionate, and I follow my foster parents around the house. At bedtime, I try my hardest to stay in my dog bed, but I will usually sneak into bed with them. I am not in love with being in a crate and will cry for a bit, then settle down. When Im home alone, I am kept in the kitchen area in case of any accidents, but Im doing great with housetraining. I mean, Im still a youngster with lots of energy, a little mischievous, but eager to please, and I take direction well. Inquire about me today!
