Meet Mr. Big!

This 11-year-old Mini Schnauzer recently had his world turned upside down when his beloved owner went into a nursing home. But even through change, this precious boy’s gentle spirit still shines.

Mr. Big is the definition of a loyal “Velcro dog.” He’s sweet, devoted, and happiest when he’s right by your side. He’s used to having someone home most of the day, so he’d thrive with an adopter who enjoys quiet companionship and daily routines together.

He’s house-trained, sleeps peacefully in his crate at night, and still has a playful streak — he loves short walks, car rides, and his favorite toys.

Big Man can be a bit selective with other dogs at first, but with slow, proper introductions he does well with most. He’s best suited to a calm home with adults or older kids (middle-school age and up).

He recently passed several health checks and had a fresh dental. Like many seniors, he has a few lumps and bumps, the start of cataracts, and some seasonal allergies, but overall he’s considered healthy for a bachelor of his age.

Mr. Big would be an ideal match for someone who works from home or a retired person or couple looking for a loyal best friend.

Apply now and prepare for the most positive emotional canine connection!

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.
