About Bret Michaels READ

Bret Michaels is a 4.5-year-old parti-color Miniature Schnauzer residing in Floyds Knobs, IN. Weighing around 16 lbs, he’s witty, affectionate, and a total cuddle bug. Though he has a bright personality, Bret has had challenges with socialization, making him anxious around new people, kids, and dogs. He knows how to protect himself when scared, reacting to his environment, which is why stability in his new home is crucial. To help Bret thrive, he requires a solid privacy fence and a large, secure yard to explore. It's best for him to have just one low-key, trained female dog as a companion—someone to engage in play without asserting dominance. He's crate trained and retreats to his crate when overwhelmed; it’s his safe space. Ensure that he’s never left alone with children and always crated when visitors arrive unless socializing appropriately on a leash. Regular grooming every six weeks is essential for his upkeep. An adopter must also be committed to attending obedience classes to understand Bret’s triggers and help him adjust effectively to his new surroundings. Transitions can take time, and this sweetheart deserves a patient and dedicated home. If you’re ready for the commitment and meet his requirements, complete an online application.
