About Candy

Candy is an adorable 1-year-old, 20-pound pup with a personality as sweet as her name. This little girl is a mixed breed, possibly a Schnauzer, Norfolk Terrier, or Border Terrier, and her scruffy face will surely steal your heart! It's important to note that Candy needs to be the only dog in her new home. While she can be friendly with other dogs, she truly flourishes when she’s the center of attention. She thrives on love and interaction and would do best without competition from another dog. Candy is a spunky, playful dog who loves to get involved in family activities. Whether she's snuggling on the couch or joining you on adventures, she is always eager to participate. Plus, she's highly treat and food motivated, making training a fun experience. With some basic tricks already up her sleeve, her intelligence is evident and encourages continuous learning. Another great feature? Candy has a low-shedding wire coat, which means less fur around the house—though she will need regular grooming to maintain it. At just 20 pounds, she's a great size for hikes and long walks. Candy has picked up excellent potty habits, using both wee-wee pads and going outside. She’s adjusting well to routines, setting a good foundation for her forever home. Rescued from abandonment, she has shown resilience and is ready for a second chance at a loving home. This wonderful girl is already spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready to find her forever family.
