“I’ve been named Flora, which is of Latin
origin, and means flower. It’s absolutely the
perfect name for a tiny 10-pound gal, as I
continue to bloom under the care of my foster
folks. I have to tell you that when I was found
by animal control and taken to an LA county
shelter, I was nothing short of a mess. I had to
be placed in the medical building because of
a disgusting and painful skin condition. I won’t
get too graphic, but the sores and inflammation
were so bad that I didn’t even want to be
touched. I certainly was not adoptable in that
condition and that’s when the big-hearted
MSFR folks rescued me. They took me
straight to their veterinarian where several
different skin tests were performed and the
final diagnosis was that my condition was
called demodectic mange. Plus, I also had an
ear infection. Thankfully, the mange wasn’t
contagious. So I just spent a few days at
the animal hospital receiving treatment.
Amazingly, I responded so well that I was
looking and feeling much better after only
one treatment and a medicated bath. It has
been a bit of a rough road for this 4-year
old, female, purebred Miniature Schnauzer
-- but I know the best is yet to come! If
you’re looking for a petite youngster to
share your life, I’m definitely the gal for

Congratulations to Ryan, now named Duke, and his new family.
Happy Tails
Congratulations to Ryan and his new family,
who just happen to be previous MSFR adopters.
They recently lost their Miniature Schnauzer
to cancer and their other dog Tootie was really
lonely. The dog they lost and Tootie are both
MSFR alumni, so it’s no surprise they came to us
to find the perfect new addition to their family.
Ryan, now named Duke, joins Tootie, two human
brothers, his mom and dad and a couple of
cats in their Long Beach home. Duke has been
“home” for several days and we’re happy to
report that his folks say all is well. He has
settled in and everyone loves everyone! In fact,
he’s so settled in that he already has a favorite
chair! Wishing the whole family many years of
love, happiness and a lot of fun adventures… •

“Hi there! I am Billie, a 2-year-old, male Miniature
Schnauzer mix who was homeless and
living on the streets of Tijuana. My companion
Holiday -- who could possibly be related to me
--and I decided to take a trip with friends
and ventured south of the border for a
weekend of fun. Unfortunately, we missed
our ride home. without any place to stay,
we ended up living on the street. Holiday
has quite a voice, so we made our living
as street entertainers until a rescue group
rounded us up and returned us to the USA.
They contacted the folks at MSFR, who were
kind enough to take us in and are helping us
find our forever homes. It has been decided
that my mix could be Doxie because I have
a longer, trim, 14-pound body with legs that
are very sturdy but a bit short. I’m still
very playful and have retained my puppyish
charm that endears me to people and other
you. I will admit that children are not my
favorite people and I would be best in a
home without them. That said, I get along
great with other dogs. However, I also do
just fine by myself.”

“My name is Fritz and I was truly living
the good life – until recently. You see, my
human mom had rescued me from the Laguna
Beach shelter when I was a year old
and for 10 years we had the most wonderful,
happy, loving life. Then my mom passed
away and now I’m a senior dog looking for
a guardian angel to adopt me. I’m a small
Dachshund mix who is in good health and
my medical records are readily available to
see. I had spinal surgery from one of the top
docs in Orange County California, but now
I can run and walk with the best of them.
Since my surgery, I do need to wear a harness
and can’t be pulled by a collar/leash
around my neck. I recently fractured three
teeth and had to have them extracted, but
I’m still on my same diet of kibble hydrated
with water and can eat nutritious snacks. I
am really a sweetie who gets along with
children, but am not real enthusiastic about
living with them. My favorite things in the
whole world are to snuggle and go places
with my family. While I prefer to sleep in
bed with my humans… if that doesn’t work
for you, I’m happy sleeping in my own cozy
bed. You can see that I would be a great addition
to any family and I’m looking for my
forever family to share all of the love and
companionship I have to give.”
