Hi, I’m Howie, a friendly, active 2 y/o schnauzer mix. The foster lady thinks I’m a schnoodle ( schnauzer/poodle mix), a fancy designer dog. No one knows for sure though since I haven’t had one of those fancy DNA tests done and we have no idea who my parents are. You see, I was an orphan as I was taken to the Laredo shelter and transported all the way to San Antonio. I guess the foster peeps could see that I am big city material!
I am small ( 16 pounds give or take) and don’t shed. I love to ride in the car and hike with my peeps. I am very smart and eager to please. I get along well with both large and small dogs and love everyone! I am pretty good on a leash but am still learning manners. I am kennel and doggy door trained and listen well to my foster parents. I am currently wearing belly bands inside as I am still learning not to mark in the house. I just lost the family jewels today ( the old snip snip 😊 so foster mom is expecting the marking to subside. If not, I tolerate the bands and the nice furniture remains clean. You see, I am a perfect gentleman.
I prefer being indoors but also like playing in the back yard with my crew. I really just want to be where the action is. I will make a great apartment or house dog. I would do best with a family or active person who likes to go for walks or spend time playing with me as I still have some puppy energy.
So, if you are looking for a handsome hunk, I’m your guy. I’ve been looking for my furever family and I will reward the lucky peeps with lots of kisses and hugs!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
