About Jay

Meet Jay! He’s a 5-year-old male Miniature Schnauzer looking for a fresh start in life. Weighing in at 23 pounds, Jay is an active yet independent pup who may take a little time to warm up in new situations. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet personality shines through. Jay enjoys long walks and has a playful side that comes out when he's on a leash—he loves to prance and show off with play bows. While he has shared his home with other dogs previously, he might thrive best in a home of his own. This sweet boy requires regular grooming and exercise, so adopters need to keep up with his needs. Since he prefers not to be touched often, we recommend having an experienced groomer handle his grooming. Jay would do best with older teens who respect his personal space, and while there’s no history with cats, a cautious approach is advised. If you're interested in giving Jay the loving home he deserves, visit the shelter during our adoption hours! Click apply to start the adoption process.
