Story
We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs home leaving on 3/28/25 to NorCal and OR. Surrounding states will be added to our route if needed ☺️ We would love to add Kate to our trip for the right home 💕
Meet Kate. She is a purebred, silver and white miniature schnauzer. She turns 1 year of age on 4/10/25. She weighs 13.19 lbs. Yes, she is full grown in stature. She will put on few more pounds as she matures but is at an overall good weight as is, she is just naturally lean 😊 She is very leggy, and the fact she had to have her body shaved down due to matting upon coming to us makes her look even leggier! She is spayed, current on all yearly vaccines, microchipped, and has been thoroughly examined, and cleared by our vet to find a home all her own ❤️
She is house trained, and will go outside to use the restroom as needed throughout the day. She is very good about going “outside” when asked to. She is very smart, and very attentive to what you ask of her which has made training very easy.
She is crate trained, and currently sleeps in a crate at night or to nap in during the day by choice. She is very calm and at peace whenever in her crate so as long as it's continued to be used in a positive manner in her next home then she will continue to love having one around. She could definitely sleep on a bed next to yours, or in bed with you if you'd like! She is a sweetie pie and would be so happy being able to be closer to you however that looks in your home. She does have free roam of our home during the day and she does absolutely wonderful with that freedom to go about her day. She doesn't chew on anything she isn't supposed to chew on, and is rather calm natured and while alert as most schnauzers are to their surroundings she is happy just being able to hang out near her humans!
She is great with other dogs, and has even lived with a cat prior to coming to us that she loved. Kate isn't social right off the beginning when meeting anyone she doesn't know, whether human or animals but once she comes around she will be a friend for life. She is sweet!! She has an incredibly beautiful soul, and one that everyone wants to know, even if she has to make sure you are safe before she lets you all the way into her heart I promise it's worth the wait!
She has been introduced to the leash, and has been doing very well on it. She will definitely need continued reassurance on leash in her next home, but with the right person leading the way her confidence will grow and the world will be even more exciting experiencing it with her person in tow!
She is not a barker, and is very quiet for a schnauzer. She will alert you occasionally of unfamiliar noises but her confidence definitely stems from her human so she is never afraid to let you take the lead in any situation she isn't sure of. She aims to please, and has made working with her an absolute joy! She is a special girl, and one you'll want to call yours ❤️❤️❤️
She is amazing on road trips, and will quietly lay in her bed til you arrive at your destination. She is very laid back, and isn't high energy so if you are looking for a girl to enjoy taking trips with, or just lounging around enjoying life then she will happily fill that role ❤️
She is wonderful with our groomers, and is always ready for a spa day! She really enjoys bath time, and being brushed which makes maintaining her coat between grooms very easy on us 😊
Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/_kate
It covers her spay, vaccines, microchip/registration, care involved in the time she has been with us, her grooming costs, and her training we have personally done with her ❤️
