Description:

Hello my name is Schooner. I love to snuggle, sit on laps, play with toys and am housetrained.

Being that I just came from Texas, my foster mom tells me all the time that I am doing so good with the MN weather! We walked on the snow covered walkways for short distances and I had no problem. I was scared going down stairs at first, but I learned quickly and have no problem going out to go potty. I do not mind resting in a kennel, but if I know my parents are leaving, I need a little encouragement going in. I will make a bit of a noise at first, but I do settle down after they are gone.

I love people! I will hunker down on your lap or snuggle up into your neck if you allow me. I like to sleep in bed, but I do not take up much space - I like to go under the covers where it is warm. I like to play and get silly with my foster parents and am learning to play with their other three dogs. I am good with other dogs too, but if you get in my face too often and try to bug me too much, I will stand up for myself. My foster parents think I have a good personality for kids since I am so friendly.

I do have a voice, but only use it when you leave me and when playing. I love treats! I have learned to sit, come and "wait" for short periods of time. I know it will not take me long to learn if you want to continue to teach me basic commands. I get a little nervous in cars, but would be fine with someone holding me.

Are you looking for a new friend? I sure am and I hope to meet you soon!

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
