More about Schnitzel #1

Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Schnitzel #1 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Schnitzel | 2-Year-Old Terrier/Chihuahua Mix | Tiny Snuggle Bug with a Big Heart Schnitzel—affectionately known as Baby Chewy—is a 2-year-old Terrier/Chihuahua mix weighing just 9 pounds. With his scruffy tan coat and sweet personality, he’s equal parts cuddly and playful. He loves being close to his people but truly thrives when he has a dog friend to play with—having another playful dog in the home is a must for him. He’s making great progress with housetraining and does wonderfully when left home alone with other dogs. He isn’t currently crated and sleeps through the night, often snuggled under the covers or nearby. He’s also come a long way with leash walking and continues to gain confidence, especially when walking alongside another dog. Schnitzel is friendly with other dogs and enjoys having playmates, warming up quickly after initial introductions. He’s also done well with cats. He loves toys, chewing bones, and a good game of tug, and he’s motivated by food, toys, and affection (he’s not picky—veggies included). Schnitzel came from a neglectful situation but has bounced back beautifully with care and love. His ideal home will include another playful dog to help him continue building confidence and keep him happy and engaged. Above all, he’s looking for a loving family who will give him the safe, happy life he deserves.   If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.  The adoption fee for this pet is $625. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process!
