About Mango (Schnauzer) in Seattle, WA 98125

Mango is waiting for you at Dog Gone Seattle Rescue in Seattle, WA 98125. Animal Information: Mango is a 3-year-old, 9lb Schnauzer mix that was brought into the shelter as a stray with Quince, the Chihuahua. She was understandably afraid, all of the barking and activity left her shaking in the back of her kennel. When the shelter staff brought her into the quiet office, she was quick to warm up and ask to sit in a lap. We saw her sweet, scruffy face and knew we had to help! Foster Profile: This ~3-year-old, Schnauzer/Poodle/Chihuahua(?) mix is funny lil cuddle beast who has come a long way since arriving from California. She's about 10 lbs and a bit of a long-bodied terrier mix with the cutest little white beard and outsized toe beans you have to see to believe. MISS Mango (as we like to call her) is affectionate, sensitive, and dog-social. She loves to snuggle and nap with both her people and resident foster brother (DGS alum) on the bed or couch. However, she also prefers to take things at her own pace as she builds trust before being picked up or held, but she's getting better at that. She follows both her humans around and requires regular chin and ear scritches, please and thank you very much. She loves men and women alike but would do best with older, dog-savvy kids. She's been around a toddler and done well, but she is not being fostered with kids. Because Mango can experience a little separation anxiety and be vocal in the crate for a few minutes when left alone, we recommend a home without shared walls; a house with a yard would be ideal. This could be worked on and it seems to be getting better, but the quality of her yodelling may best be suited to a single family home. While she could potentially be an only dog, she absolutely loves other pups! She gains a lot of confidence and comfort from having a secure, mature resident dog to show her the ropes. Mango is a smart, trainable girl with a great appetite for high-value treats. She
