Meet Courie, a one-and-a-half-year-old Schnauzer mix with a heartwarming story and a name inspired by 'Courage.' Found running scared on a busy Atlanta road, Courie needed time to settle in and decompress. Since then, she’s begun to let her sweet, playful side show. Courie delights in the company of other dogs—her friendship with her foster buddy Huxley has boosted her confidence. For her forever home, she needs a calm, patient, all-female household with another confident, playful dog. Prior experience with timid or fearful dogs is important, as Courie is still working through her fear of men and needs understanding. She isn’t suited for a busy shelter environment and truly thrives in a peaceful, steady home. Courie’s journey has been one of patience and gradual trust; she’s looking for an adopter who understands that process and can give her the stability she deserves. Fun fact: Courie was born on November 10, making her a Scorpio—a sign known for resilience and deep loyalty. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
