######<br/><br/>HIGHLIGHT:<br/>- Requires another confident dog already established in the home<br/><br/>Meet Howard - quiet, watchful, and learning to trust<br/><br/>Howard is a 10.5-pound Miniature Schnauzer who is still very early in his journey toward feeling safe in a human world. He's a deeply nervous little guy who prefers to keep his distance, quietly observing everything from afar. Though he's not ready to approach people just yet, he watches closely-and those watchful eyes are full of curiosity.<br/><br/>At this stage, Howard is learning that people bring good things, like tossed treats and gentle, predictable routines. He's also beginning to tolerate being picked up with a towel-an important first step in helping him feel more comfortable with gentle handling. He remains very cautious, but there's potential for progress in the right environment.<br/><br/>Howard requires another confident dog already established in the home to help him feel safe and provide guidance as he slowly navigates this new life. He'll do best in a calm, experienced household where he can take his time and be allowed to observe and settle at his own pace.<br/><br/>He's not ready for physical affection, but he is ready for someone who understands that trust takes time-and who will be there patiently, quietly cheering him on with every small step forward.<br/><br/>------<br/>Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
