About Van

Meet Van! At almost 6 years old and weighing 22 pounds, he proves that a small dog can have a BIG personality. This charming Schnauzer is a professional lap warmer, a fetch enthusiast, and a tug-of-war champion—all rolled into one adorable bundle. Van arrived at H.A.L.O. after his family faced changes that prevented them from giving him the care he deserves. Now, he's ready to start fresh with a loving forever family. Van's happiest moments are spent right by your side, or preferably in your lap! He enjoys fetching (and he'll actually return the ball), tug-of-war, and leisurely car rides, as well as indulging in cozy lap snuggles. Fully house-trained and crate trained, he’s content to snooze on the couch while you’re away. With a bit of time to adjust to a new home, he's eager to become your devoted little sidekick. He's friendly with other dogs, though larger or noisier dogs may provoke his tough-guy Schnauzer act. His family notes he might growl during a tug-of-war, but trust me, at just 22 pounds, his intimidation tactics mostly end up being quite comical. He's also had fun interactions with a bunny friend in his past home, adding to his playful charm. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate companion who loves following you around, bringing you his favorite toys, and then snuggling up after playtime, Van is your guy! Requirements include a Martingale collar, and all pets are spayed/neutered with vaccinations and microchipped before adoption. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
