PUMA - SCHNAUZER / DACHSHUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Schnauzer / Dachshund / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 550. Puma is an absolute sweetheart of a guy! He can be perfectly happy as the only pup soaking up all the attention, but because he’s still young, he truly enjoys having someone—human or canine—to play with. Puma has been incredibly sweet and gentle with people of all ages, small dogs, and even large dogs. As long as other dogs are friendly, Puma remains relaxed and non-defensive. He has met cats and tends to chase them—not to hurt them, but out of curiosity—so a cat-free home would be the best fit for him. He’s affectionate and people-focused, yearning for love and attention and more than happy to give it right back. Puma has a goofy side too—he’ll tease you by pretending to come over for pets and then suddenly dart off in the opposite direction, inviting you to join the fun. Puma loves going for walks and gets visibly excited when he sees the leash come out. He was dumped on a Texas highway, but despite that rough start, he showed immediate trust—allowing his finder to call him over, pet him, and safely pick him up. That trust and resilience speak volumes about his loving nature. Puma deserves a second chance in a home where he’ll be cherished. He has all the makings of a loyal, joyful companion and will bring laughter, affection, and devotion to the lucky family who adopts him. Puma is from Texas.
