Riggs is a 5-month-old Schnauzer weighing 12 pounds of puppy charm. This little guy is still learning how to be a puppy, which means he can be a bit shy at first. With patience, encouragement, and the right people by his side, Riggs truly begins to shine.
He absolutely loves playing with other dogs and thrives with canine companionship. Because he enjoys being around other dogs so much, Riggs may do best in a home with another friendly dog to help him continue building confidence and social skills.
As a young puppy, the right training and socialization are key to setting him up for success and ensuring a great fit in his new home. Riggs is looking for a family committed to helping him learn, grow, and become the best companion he can be.
To ensure the best possible match, a meet and greet at our shelter is required for all potential adopters. We want to make sure Riggs finds the right fit - and that your home is the perfect place for him to thrive.

Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
