Owner has to surrender. This boy is 5yrs old. House trained and crate trained. Neutered and fully vetted. Owners are not sure if he gets along w/other dogs. He's been their only dog. He lives with a kitten and has been around other cats and does great. This poor boy has stomach issues. He's been eating Science Diet - Food Sensitivities Duck Receipt. He doesn’t do well with smaller children but loves older children and all humans. His left back knee has been giving him trouble. According to the owner.. he was probably born like this as they got him from a breeder. They can't do the surgery becuz they can not afford it. Family has an autistic child and so their funds are limited. We'd prefer this baby go to a Schnauzer rescue on the east coast but we'd also be okay letting him go to someone (AN APPROVED ADOPTER) that can get him the care he needs. The adoption fee is actually the transportation fee to get him out of TN and back to the east coast. If interested.. pls reach out. We can't take the dog in as we are inundated with 55 dogs. We do not have room for another. We also do not want the owner to surrender him to a shelter where chances are here.. they will euth due to the overcapacity they are dealing with now.
