Tommy is a precious 3-year-old Schnauzer mix. This cutie pie was purchased from a pet store when he was just a tiny puppy, and became homeless three years later when his owners could no longer care for him. Because Tommy spent most of his life with a family, he is already house-trained and accustomed to living in a home. While he is very loyal and craves affection from his guardians, like a lot of Schnauzers, Tommy can be suspicious of strangers. He bonds quickly with his humans, but prefers to warm up to visitors slowly. Tommy is great with other dogs, and would love to have some doggie play dates in his new home. This sweet and sensitive boy responds well to positive reinforcement and is looking for an adults-only household with adopters who will enroll him in training. Tommy weighs about 25 pounds and will need grooming regularly to keep his characteristic moustache and fur looking its best. Give this shy yet charming boy a chance, and you will have a devoted friend for life!
