If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com Meet Pretzel: The Little Miracle with a Big Heart! Hi, I’m Pretzel! I am a super cute, lovable 1 yr old Schnauzer mix pup (approx. DOB 6/1/25). I might be small, but I have a story of huge resilience. I was rescued from a backyard breeder in Pinellas County. When I was first saved, I couldn't walk at all, but I’ve worked so hard, and I am now a happy, zooming puppy who loves life! My Personality I am incredibly sweet and affectionate. Now that I’ve learned how to walk, I love to explore! I am playful, eager to be loved, and just want to be with my people. I would do best in a home with another dog to play with. I love to chew on my nylabones and stuffies. My Medical Journey I do have some ongoing bathroom problems, but that doesn’t slow my spirit down! We had an MRI done and unfortunately nothing can be done to fix the problem. I do my best to go the bathroom outside but sometimes have accidents. My foster mom sometimes has me wear a belly band. I am looking for a special adopter who can help me continue my journey to becoming as strong as possible. My Ideal Home Other Dogs: Yes, I get along great with other dogs! Cats: I don’t mind them at all but sure do like to bark at them Kids: Because I’m still a young dog and a little "mouthy" when I get excited, I am recommended for a home with mature children. If you are looking for a lovable, brave little companion and are willing to manage my needs, I am ready to be your best friend. Pretzel's adoption fee is $400 - obedience training is required after adoption and fully enclosed front or backyard is also required.
