TWIZZLER - BORDER TERRIER / SCHNAUZER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Terrier / Schnauzer / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 450. Twizzler was abandoned at an apartment complex, left to scavenge for food and live in rough conditions. By the time rescue stepped in, he was battling a flea-related skin issue but has been healing well with care. At first, Twizzler can be unsure and will bark at new people, but he’s quick to warm up once he knows you mean no harm. His favorite trick is rolling over for belly rubs — and if you stop too soon, he’ll nudge or grab your hand to remind you to keep going. He’s crate trained, leash trained, and enjoys toys, blankets, and cozy spots. That said, Twizzler can be protective of his food, toys, and kennel, so feeding separately from other dogs is best. Once outside of those moments, he’s goofy, affectionate, and playful, with a loyal streak that shines once he bonds. Twizzler can live happily as a solo dog or with another small, respectful companion. What he really needs is a patient home that will go slow at first, help him feel secure, and keep the belly rubs coming! Twizzler is from Texas.
