About Nemo

Meet Nemo. Nemo is a fun-loving 1.5-year-old Miniature Schnauzer and Poodle mix, weighing around 12-15 pounds. He came to us as an owner surrender when his previous family realized he lightly sheds more than they were comfortable with. Prospective adopters should be prepared for some grooming and regular brushing to keep his coat in good shape. This energetic little guy absolutely adores kids, having grown up in a home with young ones. He thrives in an environment that appreciates his excitable nature and can help him channel his enthusiasm positively. While he enjoys playing with some canine friends, he needs careful introductions due to past socialization gaps. Nemo might do best as the only dog in the home, giving him the devoted attention he craves. He is house trained and crate trained, but be aware he can be quite vocal, which could pose challenges in apartments with close neighbors. If you're searching for a small dog with a big heart and lively spirit, Nemo might just be your perfect match! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
