Page 18 March 24, 2016 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Wowser Schnauzers love and soulful eyes. I’m a very friendly girl that gets along great with other dogs so if you have one – no worries. If you are interested in Lotus, please email info@msfr. org for more information. If a 1-year old “Schnoodle” (Miniature Schnauzer/Poodle mix) with a sweet face, a positive attitude and determination is your idea of a great pal – then I’m your dog. They call me Merlin, like the magician, and I have the distinct honor of being the first MSFR rescue of 2016. They noticed me when they picked up my pal Neo because we were both Merlin Carly in the medical building. I was taken there on December 21, 2015 after I was found on the street with a broken leg. Initially, the MSFR folks were told someone was going to adopt me. They kept tabs on me and when no one claimed me, they scooped me up. Off to their Vet who took another set of x-rays and discovered that I had an awfully bad break that had begun to heal. The only solution was to have surgery to “re-break and reset” the bones. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I had anticipated and I wasn’t down for long! I learned to travel, including the stairs, pretty Oz has overcome injuries and is now living the good life! Lotus Happy Tails Congratulations to Neo, now named Oz, and his Mom. He is our 2-year old amputee who was rescued from a LA shelter on New Year’s Eve. Despite heroic efforts, he lost his leg due to extensive injuries after being hit by a car. His new Mom has had several Schnauzers that passed on due to old age, so she’s well versed in their personalities. Oz is loving and living the good life in Lake Forest. Since his Mom works from home he’ll have lots of attention and won’t ever be lonely. Wishing them many years of happy adventures and togetherness. • We are looking for volunteers to help with our pet adoption fairs which are held every Saturday at the Petco located at 537 N. Pacific Coast Highway Redondo Beach 90277, from noon-3:30 p.m. If you are interested in volunteering and can commit to at least one Saturday a month, please contact us at info@msfr.org. You can also visit all of our Miniature Schnauzers & Friends rescues at the adoption fair or check out our website, www.msfr.org. If you have any questions about a particular dog’s availability you can email us at info@msfr.org. Schnauzers! Bet you can’t adopt just one! Hello! My name is Lotus and I’m a very sweet, 2-year old, female purebred Miniature Schnauzer. I was rescued from a LA county shelter, where my previous owner dumped me due to medical issues. Can you believe someone would just abandon their dog when she was ill? I was diagnosed with stomatitis but I have no idea how I got it. Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mouth and gums that causes painful ulcers in the mouth. Yep, that’s what I had. I was on antibiotics and an antiseptic spray to heal the ulcers and eliminate the inflammation. I also had a dental done and I am feeling much better. The only issue is, in the future, I may require more frequent dental cleanings and when I get older, I may lose some teeth. I’m not a very big girl, only 18 pounds, but it’s all Pinocchio well even with a cast on. I believe all of that activity helped me keep my perfect weight of 15 pounds. After two months, I’m totally healed, looking for my forever home and ready to play. I get along great with dogs and I did I mention I love to play? I’m a real gogetter – always ready for an adventure – and did I mention that I love to play? If you are interested in Merlin, please email info@msfr. org for more information. Did you know that the name Carly is of English origin and means “little and strong”? Well, I’m here to tell you that I have earned my name. I’m a 1-year old, female, purebred Miniature Schnauzer. I have lovely natural ears that stand up and a natural plume of a tail. I’m just a bit of gal, only 12-pounds, so I tend to be skittish around other dogs and small children because I’m afraid I’ll get injured. I was rescued from a LA county shelter after being brought in as a stray. They put a “caution” label on my kennel card, because I won’t shy away if I feel confronted. When I’m with people, like my rescuers and my foster family, my true loving temperament shines through. I’m very sweet and good with people but when I’m in unfamiliar territory, like the Vet’s, I become very nervous and protective. I also have to admit that I’m a bit of a princess so I think I would do best as an only dog. Also, since I can be a nervous Nellie, I really need a home without children. If you are interested in Carly, please email info@msfr.org for more information. Once upon a time at the Baldwin Hills shelter, my rescuers made a great find. Amongst the confusion and the roar of barking they found a tiny oasis of calm. They call me Pinocchio. I’m a tiny, 5-pound, 3-year old, male Chihuahua/Pug mix who is looking for someone to appreciate a truly special dog. I’ve been told that I stood out from the many Chihuahuas at the shelter because of my quiet demeanor, my little, enthusiastically wagging tail and my beautiful hopeful eyes. I get along great with strangers, other dogs and if you’re not looking, I will do my best to kiss you. I love to snuggle, spend time with my family and go for rides in the car. I have impeccable manners, am eager to find my forever home and spend many happy hours being the best companion possible. Pinocchio can be seen anytime at Yellow Brick Road Doggie Playcare in El Segundo. Call 310-606-5507 or email southbaydoggie@ hotmail.com for an appointment or additional information. •
