Arnold "Schnauzer" - Comeback Kid Some heroes wear capes. Arnold Schnauzer is starting his comeback in a freshly shaved schnauzer coat. Arnold is a 5-year-old Schnauzer mix who was found in a backyard where he clearly hadn't been fed regularly. When animal control rescued him, he was matted, filthy, and heartbreakingly thin - weighing just 11 pounds when he should be closer to 15-17. His coat had to be shaved down to the skin, revealing every rib and bone beneath. His skin was sore and his body fragile. But somehow... Arnold's spirit never quit. Despite everything he endured, he is outgoing, playful, and incredibly trusting. Arnold greets the world with enthusiasm and believes every human deserves a generous helping of kisses. Now safe in foster care, Arnold has begun his comeback training plan: many small meals, probiotics, omega oils, and lots of TLC to help his body rebuild strength. Right now Arnold is working on his comeback - building muscle, gaining weight, and perfecting his very important skill of kissing every person he meets. He's great with other dogs, crate trained, and already doing well with housetraining. Arnold has survived the hard part of his story - now he just needs someone to write the happy ending. And if you ask him about his future? He'll tell you: "I'll be back... for dinner."
