🐶🐶 One Adoption, Two Best Friends!!
Jack & Oscar — charming, gentle, and ready to be your loyal companions for life.
Meet Jack & Oscar (Bonded Siblings)
AGE: 6 years old
BREED: Schnoodle (Schnauzer/Poodle mix)
WEIGHT: 28–30 lbs.

Say hello to Jack and Oscar, an absolutely adorable bonded pair of Schnoodle brothers! With their soft cream and brilliant white haircoats, these handsome boys are considered hypoallergenic with minimal shedding, and with regular grooming, they’ll continue turning heads everywhere they go. ✨

Because they share a strong emotional bond, Jack and Oscar will be adopted together — bringing twice the love, twice the companionship, and twice the joy to a lucky home! ❤️❤️

Jack, the more confident of the pair, is outgoing and charming, greeting people with tail wags and a sweet “doggie smile.” He helps his brother feel brave in new situations.
Oscar is a gentle soul — a little timid at first, but once he feels safe, he loves soft pets, belly rubs, and snuggling right beside you. He takes comfort in following Jack’s lead, and their bond is truly beautiful to see.
These sweet boys have big, expressive eyes, soft ears, and even softer hearts. They are house trained, walk great on a leash, and do well with other friendly dogs and cats.
Jack and Oscar would do best in a calm, loving home where they can be lifelong companions to their special person or family.
Both are altered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

If you’re ready to welcome this loving duo into your heart and home, please fill out an online adoption application today! 👇
