About Champ

Meet Champ, an adorable three-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who is ready for a fresh start. Champ has lived a sheltered life and is now learning the ropes of being a dog. While he’s a bit nervous and not used to affection, his gentle nature shines through when he feels comfortable. With time and patience, he can be a fun-loving lap dog who craves love. Champ is available for pre-adoption and will be neutered before going to his new home. He is not house trained yet but loves other dogs and gets along well with cats. Ideally, he would thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard and without young children (preferred age six and up). He’s completely vaccinated and ready to find someone who will help him gain confidence and show him what it means to be loved. Let’s help Champ find the wonderful home he deserves.
