My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bluma is a one year old mini Schnauzer girl who is an absolute diamond in the "ruff". She is the most gentle dog with the best demeanor, and once she is comfortable in her surroundings, loves attention, affection and her toys.
She has been through a lot in her young life (neglected, hit by a car, kept hidden in a small apartment, etc.) but is so incredibly loving. It took a few days for her to interact with us, but once she did, we all fell in love! She is very shy with new people and will hide or freeze, but if you go slow, it is so very worth it!

She is pretty good with pee pads and we have started to take her for outdoor walks, which she loves. She is learning to walk on a leash. She is VERY food motivated, (but with zero aggression) so she will be super easy to train. We are getting her caught up on medical (vaccines, testing, spay) and once she is more comfortable, properly groomed. Our pictures do not do her justice, because 3 of the 4 were taken the first day when she was scared. Now every time the camera comes out, she jumps up to play with us (as you can see in the first picture). We probably have 30 identical pictures in that pose! And picture 5 is her trying a bed for the first time today!

She has no reaction (other than curiosity) to the resident 12 pound cat, but has not yet met other dogs. We also haven't heard her "speak". Due to her background, a house with children would probably be too overwhelming for her, so no kids under 12 please. But we do think she will be rather active once she gets into her groove.

To apply for Bluma, please fill out the application at www.chesed-rescue.org. We background check and vet check all applicants and are looking for stable homes. This girl should be guaranteed a loving family and proper care for the rest of her life.
