Page 18 May 18, 2017 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Wowser Schnauzers Bette Watkins Happy Tails Congratulations to Ramsey! namesakes, we truly love and adore each other. I think it would be great to spend the rest of our lives together because old age isn’t for sissies and you can always use a friend.” If you’re interested in Bette, please email info@msfr.org for more information. “Hello, my name is Joan and although my mother is a tough act to follow, I’ll do my best. I’m a 1.5-year old, salt and pepper, female purebred Miniature Schnauzer who was taking an evening stroll with Bette when we were seized by animal control. Joan 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 in Redondo Beach 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! My name is Bette--you know the one with the eyes? I’m a three-year old, white, female purebred Miniature Schnauzer. My daughter, Joan, and I were taking an evening stroll when the Inland Empire animal control spotted us. I told Joan to fasten her seatbelt because it was going to be a bumpy night and it certainly was. We ended up at an Inland Empire shelter where, because we had no identification, they called us ‘strays.’ I’m a voluptuous 23-pound lady/ I don’t think I looked bad for a gal who had been used for breeding, so I did take exception with being labeled a ‘stray.’ I will admit that being matted and having that nasty parasitic illness, giardia, must have taken a toll on us because we looked pretty pitiful. To make matters worse, we’ve never been apart and Joan is a bit clingy. I’m hoping that I can find a loving family to take my daughter and myself because, unlike our Since we had no identification and were looking like street urchins, we were taken to an Inland Empire shelter as strays. As if being dirty and matted wasn’t bad enough, it was discovered that we were sick with giardia [parasite] and our accommodations weren’t exactly five stars. No wonder I’m a bit clingy. That’s a lot for a youngster to process. I’m happy to say that things are looking up since I’ve been bathed and my coat is silky and glistens. The giardia is a thing of the past and now I’m hoping to find a family willing to adopt me. Actually I would love to spend the rest of my life with my mother. Okay, I’m a little dependent-- so a family that would adopt both of us is absolutely perfect. Please come see us at adoptions. I’m the 19-pound beauty and you’ll agree we’d be a great addition to your family.” If you’re interested in Joan, please email info@msfr.org for more information. “Good day! My moniker is Watkins and I’m a three-year old chap of questionable pedigree. It’s been determined that I’m a Schnauzer/Cocker/mystery mix, but it will take a detective with the investigative skill of Sherlock Holmes to uncover the mystery. The kind folks of MSFR noticed me at an LA area shelter when they were liberating another dog and invited me to come along. As cute as I am, they couldn’t understand why I hadn’t been adopted--but it quickly became apparent to them. You see, I have a slight birth defect resulting in a deformed front left foot as it is missing the bottom of my of leg. I certainly have adapted famously and my other three legs definitely serve me well. I get along splendidly and have never let it deter me. I’ve been told that I’m ‘cute as a button’ and I’m quite sociable with other dogs. I have the eyes of an old soul, but I’m 18 pounds of joy with a face that will instantly capture your heart.” If you’re interested in Watkins, please email info@ msfr.org for more information. • Hear-hear for Ramsey and his new mom! Ramsey is our Carson rescue that was included with MSFR’s rescue of Ferguson after being dumped at the shelter by his previous owner. Ramsey’s mom had previously owned a Schnauzer and was looking for one that was “cat-friendly.” After meeting Ramsey at adoptions and having an introduction to the cat, we’re happy to say it looks like a good match. Ramsey, who was a perfect gentleman, was rewarded with a forever home in South Redondo Beach, just two blocks from the Esplanade! It gets even better. His mom works from home, so he’ll get lots of love and attention. Best wishes for many years of laughter, happiness and love. •
