Schafer

Description

Successfully rehomed by Georgia Poodle Rescue

We believe Schafer is a rare miniature portugese water dog. We have had large PWDs in the past, however, Schafer is the second rare miniature size PWD we have had in the last few years. He weighs about 25-30 lbs, is all black, and is a real sweetie pie. He was found as a stray with a harness, collar, and two leashes by animal control but had no ID tags. We were called to take him into our program/ He is a happy little guy with big smiles, gets along very well with our other dogs, and thrives on positive reinforcement. He loves to be told he is a good boy......which he is! We are guessing he may be around 3 years old. Not good with men right now.We do not adopt out of state nor to families with children under the age of 10 years old.
