A few weeks ago, my husband and I adopted our Schnorkie (Schnauzer/Yorkie) and she is amazing. Very sweet, trained in the basics and loves to ride in the car. She is a true blessing. I have only heard her bark once while playing with our cat who she has become best friends with. Diane at Animalsavers is very thorough and the application can look daunting, but don't let it discourage you. You will learn something during the process. I would recommend having your questions ready for when you go and meet the dog and make sure you get all of the information you need before making a decision. We were well prepared but for first timers, this is just a bit of advice as animals are not disposable they are like kids and a huge responsibility. Our dog (we named her Korra) ended up being older than we were told, but that happens with rescues and was not a big deal. She did have some skin issues that have since cleared up after a round of antibiotics and some medicated baths. She needed her teeth cleaned badly which I would never expect a rescue to afford but we knew that when we met her and checked her teeth. She has since had them cleaned and is in tip top shape and is a total lover and loves to show us her new smile. Adoption process was smooth and painless. We love our new baby!
