Arthur

Meet Arthur!

A distinguished gentleman looking for his forever home.

Arthur is a 9.5 year old, desexed male Miniature Schnauzer weighing approximately 10kg, who has found his way into the care of Schnauzer Rescue Qld after arriving via a shelter. He’s still waiting for someone to see just how special he is!

An experienced schnauzer home would be a wonderful match for this lovely older male.

His ideal home : Arthur would ideally love to be the only dog in his household, where he can enjoy being the centre of someone’s world. With slow and appropriate introductions, he has shown that he can happily coexist with smaller dogs and is currently enjoying foster life alongside three Miniature Schnauzers.

Larger dogs can make him a little unsure, but he’s working hard to build his confidence. Arthur would prefer to live in a home with children aged 12 years and over would be best (or none at all).

💙 A little about Arthur 💙

Like many Schnauzers, Arthur isn’t shy about sharing his opinions! He can be quite vocal, particularly when he has something happening around him to report. A quieter home with fewer visual and environmental triggers would help him settle and enjoy a more peaceful life, rather than spending his days on neighbourhood watch duty!

Arthur is a real people-person and loves being with his humans. He can find being left home alone difficult, so a home where he isn’t regularly left for extended periods, or where he can accompany his people on adventures, would be ideal.

He does display some leash reactivity, but he’s a clever boy who is already learning that good things happen when he calmly ignores distractions. Continued positive reinforcement and consistent training at home will help him keep building on this progress.

Being an older male, he does not require daily walking or lots of exercise he is more than happy with spending time in his backyard following his humans around.

His best qualities

* An absolute gentleman with food – no resource guarding and beautifully gentle when taking treats from fingers.
* Travels exceptionally well and absolutely loves car rides.
* Impeccable loose-leash walking.
* Very clever and eager to learn.
* Low activity levels during the day, usually happiest snoozing right at your feet.
* Settles beautifully in his crate overnight.
* Rocks a warm jacket and bow tie to add to his dapper status.

Health & care : Despite being a more mature gentleman, Arthur is fit, on a quality low fat diet and has no concerning health issues. He is desexed, up to date with vaccinations and current on preventative treatments, with some added daily supplements to help his senior status.

Could you be Arthur’s person?

Arthur isn’t looking for anything extravagant. Just a loving home, a comfortable place to put his paws, and a human he can call his very own.
