About this Dog
Meet Thiago, an 83-pound Giant Schnauzer mix arriving this Friday—and let us tell you, this boy is so awesome it’s unbelievable. Once Thiago got on a routine, he absolutely blossomed. He’s a total sweetheart, a perfect gentleman with lovely manners and a heart full of love. He adores being close to his people and will happily stick by your side like a big fuzzy shadow. Thiago is great with other dogs and has a goofy, lovable side—especially when he "talks back" after being told no. (It’s hilariously cute, we promise.) He’s been learning to eat dog food again after a lifetime of people food indulgence—whoever had him before clearly treated him to a human menu! But he’s adjusting beautifully.Thiago was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas. He has tested positive for Heartworm. Treatment is covered by the rescue at a partner veterinarian.Meet and greets are by appointment only. An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events!We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time. When we do, it will be updated here. This is all the information we have currently. Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above. Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. Dogs adopted with our rescue come with FREE training from #GoodPup to help you build strong bonds from the start!

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance. We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances. More questions? Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/ Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed. A new study has concluded that (in layman's terms), breed assumption is NOT indicative of behavior in mixed breed dogs. Therefore, if a dog looks presumably to be a German Shepherd breed, one cannot assume the dog will have a high prey drive. From the study: "Although many physical traits were associated with breeds, behavior was much more variable among individual dogs. In general, physical trait heritability was a greater predictor of breed but was not necessarily a predictor of breed ancestry in mutts. Among behavioral traits, biddability—how well dogs respond to human direction—was the most heritable by breed but varied significantly among individual dogs. Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639

Adopt Thiago HW+ and Receive Thiago HW+'s Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Thiago HW+'s new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Thiago HW+'s current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Thiago HW+, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Thiago HW+'s contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Thiago HW+ was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Thiago HW+’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Thiago HW+’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Thiago HW+’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
