Let’s Make Home Happen for Echo!

Despite his age, Echo the mini-schnauzer, is a spunky little grandpa. He loves to wrestle and play fetch with plush toys. He is super funny and playful, especially in the mornings and early afternoon. Give him one long walk and its nap time again. He’s also very smart and has been picking up commands really quickly! He likes being a part of the family and prefers to keep close company with his humans.

Echo is considered special needs due to his hypothyroid condition.

During the COVID-19 state of emergency, the DCSPCA adoption process has changed. If you are interested in adopting Echo, or any of our other available pets, please visit www.dcspca.org After choosing a pet and submitting the online application, you must make an appointment to meet the pet you want to adopt. You can also find updates and resources for pet owners during the pandemic on the website and the DCSPCA Facebook page.
