Meet Punkin, an 8-year-old, 12-pound Miniature Schnauzer with a heart full of love and golden years to cherish. After her owner passed away, a family friend stepped in, but they aren’t able to keep her long-term. Punkin is crate- and leash-trained, a quiet and polite companion who thrives on routine and gentle affection. She’s happily lived with kids and has always gotten along with other dogs—she grew up with two Schnauzers and a boxer, and she loved them all. Grooming is no trouble for this sweet girl, who enjoys a comfy grooming session and a tidy coat. When Punkin arrived, she was emaciated, but with steady meals and patient care she’s been gaining weight and feeling more like herself every day. Now she adores short walks, cozy cuddle time, and curling up by your side for quiet evenings. Punkin isn’t just a pet—she’s a loyal friend who will greet you with a wag and an “I’m here for you” sigh after a long day. She’s looking for a hero who can give her a safe, loving home where she can live out her retirement in comfort and lots of belly rubs. Could that be you?
