About GarrettAll smiles

Meet Garrett, a cheerful 8-month-old Border Terrier and Miniature Schnauzer mix currently in Houston, TX. This little fella weighs around 9.1 pounds and we expect he'll reach about 10 pounds when fully grown. Recently rescued from a rough start—his family was deported and left him and his siblings behind—Garrett has shown nothing but sweetness and affection since arriving at our care. Garrett is playful and loves to zoom around outside but is just as content curling up next to you for a good cuddle. He's smart and already making strides in house training, doing well with potty pads. With his fun-loving spirit and gentle nature, he gets along famously with dogs and children alike, proving to be a fantastic companion. Garrett deserves a stable family who will shower him with love and commitment, turning that adorable happy face into your everyday view. He will soon be neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, ready to bring joy into your home. Remember, he will need a little time to adjust, but with patience, he'll thrive. Garrett is being fostered in Houston, TX, but can be transported closer to you once you’ve completed the adoption process. Start your journey together with Garrett today!
