Click apply to start the adoption process. Arturo made his way from Puerto Rico to the shelter, ready for a fresh start in a loving forever home. At just over 2 years old, he has experienced the hardships of a country deeply affected by an animal welfare crisis, but his spirit and affection remain strong. Arturo is a high-energy, medium-sized schnauzer mix weighing about 39 pounds. He loves interacting with people, thrives in the company of other dogs, and eagerly offers his companionship to anyone willing to welcome him. This lively guy requires daily exercise, consistent discipline, and a home with an experienced owner prepared for an energetic companion. Arturo is best suited for families with children over age 9 and a securely enclosed, fenced yard, where he can safely run and play to his heart’s content. While he relates well to other dogs and adores people, Arturo will need continued training for leash walking and adapting to indoor life. With his sun sign Gemini, he’s especially curious, playful, and enjoys being around others. The shelter prioritizes matching Arturo with a family where his needs will be fully met. Applicants will be carefully considered, and a home visit is included to ensure the best environment for everyone. Arturo currently enjoys a non-kenneled environment with plenty of room to play at the shelter, and he is eagerly awaiting the right home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
