BLACKBERRY - SCHNAUZER / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Schnauzer / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Blackberry! Blackberry is a sweet 5 month old Terrier and Chihuahua mix who weighs about 10 pounds. He is a very shy, quiet little boy who is still learning that people can be trusted. He recently lost the only home he knew and is now adjusting to life in a foster home. Understandably, all of these changes have been a lot for such a young puppy, and he will need a patient person willing to give him the time he needs to feel safe. Blackberry may keep his distance for now, but we are already seeing little signs of trust. He will take treats from his foster mom’s hand and even give her fingers a few kisses before quickly retreating if he gets nervous. He enjoys spending time in the yard and is perfectly capable of entertaining himself with a little ball. Blackberry is still a puppy and can occasionally get into things when left alone, so a little puppy proofing, guidance, and continued training will help set him up for success. Blackberry needs someone who understands that earning his trust will happen on his timeline. He may not run into your arms on the first day, but each little step forward will mean something special. With patience, kindness, and a safe place to settle in, we believe this quiet little boy has so much potential to blossom. If you are willing to let Blackberry come to you when he is ready, you may just find that the sweetest relationships are sometimes the ones that take a little time to grow.
