About Schnee

Schnee came up from a tough start in West Texas, landing in a high-volume shelter before making his way to Minnesota. He’s figuring out the good life now, toggling between wild bursts of energy and champion naps. Schnee loves backyard zoomies, tough chew toys, and a good sleep playlist playing in the background. He’s most at ease when someone—human or canine—is around, and only settles into his kennel once he’s in the groove of a routine. Schnee gets along great with other dogs and is also gentle and aware around little kids. While he might be hesitant at first, treats and some patience win him over fast. His signature move is a friendly bottom boop when he lets you into his circle. He’s 90% house trained and needs someone local to the Twin Cities metro who can get him to his vet appointment in early June. Schnee would do best with a fenced yard where he can run and reliable company at home. If you’re looking for a dog who balances playful chaos with cozy downtime, this big-hearted goof has a lot to give. Click apply to start the adoption process.
