1037 (2026) JJ - Miniature Schnauzer and Yorkshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Parker, Colorado

Adoption Fee: $475

When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped!

What we know: Litter of 3 transferred from Second Chance Dog Rescue in Texas at ~10 weeks old. Puppies were owner surrendered to a partnering rescue who placed them in foster. Family surrendering said the puppies were "Schnorkie Peekapoos" and DOB is 6/27/26.

**PLEASE NOTE: these puppies have become extremely popular since being posted. We suggest coming to the event with an open mind to other pups not in this litter, as there are only 3 of these puppies.**

From the foster: Meet JJ: a whole three pounds of lint-trap fluff masquerading as a living creature, though we suspect he might actually be a battery-operated plush toy that gained sentience.

JJ is an absolute jackpot for the small-dog devotee. His daily agenda consists entirely of being scooped up, scaling your torso like a pint-sized mountaineer, sticking his nose millimeters from your eyeballs to deliver face kisses, and prancing across the room with the prince-like swagger of royalty.

Currently, our little floofy man shares his kingdom with two foster brothers from another mother, three resident gentle giants, and two young kids (ages 4 and 7). He gets along great with the whole crew, but when you weigh less than a standard bag of flour, physics is not your friend. Because a single misplaced footstep or overly enthusiastic bear hug could easily squish him, his forever family must be expert floor-scanners committed to protecting him in a world where literally everything is a giant.

Basic training and house-manners are also non-negotiable-mostly to protect you from his nearly-criminal cuteness. JJ already knows he possesses an illegal level of charm and isn't afraid to weaponize it. At the moment, he treats puppy pee pads as polite, optional suggestions, occasionally opting instead for the artisanal placement of a deposit right in the center of the dog bed or atop your favorite throw blanket. Housebreaking will require steady patience, consistent routines, and the willpower to forgive him the second he tilts his head.

From his bite-sized baby chompers to his tiny paws, being mad at JJ for longer than four seconds is biologically impossible. If you take him home, just prepare to tack an extra 20 minutes onto every errand: neighborhood walks will instantly turn into miniature paparazzi scrums because absolutely no human has the emotional discipline to pass this face without squealing.

JJ is ready to trade his foster throne for a permanent lap, promising a lifetime of unwavering devotion, constant giggles, and don't forget the grooming! His coat will most certainly required a budget for consistent professional grooming, but as with everything about him, it'll be worth it!
