quite good-looking with my natural ears,
my natural tail and the great ‘Schnauzery’
handsomeness. In addition to my adorable
appearance, I am extremely sweet and eager
to please -- but I need some training, as I
had never seen a leash until I was rescued.
I’m 15 pounds of love and affection and
would be a great addition to your family.”

“I’m Dobbs, and I believe you’ve already
met my brother, Davis. Our previous owners
dumped us at an LA area shelter and there
is no doubt it’s because we had sarcoptic
mange and they didn’t want to treat it. It’s
the only reason I can think of that would
result in someone turning in a 1-year-old,
15-pound, sweet, little male Miniature
Schnauzer mix. Treating sarcoptic mange
is very time-consuming and the shelter
made it perfectly clear that because this
condition is highly contagious, I was not
welcome there. Thankfully it was MSFR
to the rescue and I’m so glad they took me
in. Treatment required a several weeks stay
at the veterinarian’s because I had to be
in isolation while receiving my Ivermectin
treatments. I’ve had my last treatment, I’m
looking great and I’m ready to find a family
that will want me and all the love I have to

Saturday at the Petco located at 537 N.

in volunteering and can commit to at least

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.
“Hi there, my name is Davis! My previous
owners dumped my brother Dobbs and me
at an LA area shelter and we’re guessing it’s
because we had sarcoptic mange and they
didn’t want to deal with it. I can’t think of
any other reason why they would relinquish
a 1-year-old male Miniature Schnauzer mix.
Treating sarcoptic mange is no easy task and
the shelter made it perfectly clear that I had to
exit the place immediately since this condition
is highly contagious. Tada! -- MSFR to the
rescue and I’m so very grateful to them. It
was a pretty lengthy process of isolation and
treatments at their veterinarian’s office for
several weeks. Now that I’ve had my last
treatment, I’m ready to find my forever home.
It’s amazing what TLC and medication can
do! I don’t even come close to resembling
the bald, patchy-haired guy that was
rescued. Now everyone can see that I’m
give. Honestly, if you were to see me now,
you’d never believe I was the semi-bald,
patchy-haired dog that was rescued. Even
though I’m a mix, I have inherited all of
the ‘Schnauzery’ good looks – especially
my natural ears and natural tail. Since I’m
not very big, I am easily transportable and
ready to go anywhere. I admit that I do need
a bit of training because I didn’t even know
what a leash was until I was rescued. I am
really sweet and eager to please, so training
should be a great bonding time for us.”

“Hola! Mi nombre es Estella. Oops, sorry
about that… I meant to say my name is Estella.
I forgot that I’m no longer in Tijuana and that
I’m now residing in a Southern California
foster home. You see, another rescue group
scooped me up off the streets of Tijuana and
turned me over to the MSFR volunteers. There
was never a thought about my changing my
name, which is ‘star’ in Spanish. However,
determining my breed was another story. I
have a longer, sleek body, Schnauzer coloring
and Schnauzer fur. That means I’m a nonshedder.
Best guess, without a DNA test, is
that I’m a Schnauzer/Lhasa/Cocker mix. I’ve
had a pretty exciting life for 1.5-year-old gal,
but I’m ready to settle down and find my
forever family. I’m super friendly and full
of energy, so one of my favorite pastimes is
playing with other dogs. If you already have
a dog, not to worry… I will be the perfect
playmate. I have a beautiful, shiny coat and
in keeping with the Schnauzer traits, the most
beautiful, expressive dark eyes and an adorable
face. I’m 20 pounds of love and affection
just waiting to give it to the right family.”

Happy Tails
Congratulations to McDuff and his new family!
Congratulations to our adorable little
McDuff and his new family. McDuff is the
cute little guy who had three broken toes
when he was rescued in December. His new
mom and dad previously had two Miniature
Schnauzers and realized how great it was for
their furry kids to have a sibling to play with
and share adventures. After adopting 2017
MSFR alumnus Berkeley, who was the white
Miniature Schnauzer rescued from Tijuana,
they decided that it would be great for him
to have a brother. It didn’t take long for
McDuff, who was renamed Murphy, to win
their hearts and join the family in the Coto
de Caza home. We’re certain that there are
going to be many wonderful adventures and
laughter to share.
Be kind. Save a life,
Support animal rescue.
If you see a dog with a YELLOW RIBBON or something yellow on the
leash, this is a dog who needs some space. Please do not approach
this dog with your dog. Please maintain distance or give this dog and
his/her person time to move out of your way.
There are many reasons why
a dog may need space:
HEALTH ISSUES
IN TRAINING
BEING REHABILITATED
SCARED OR REACTIVE AROUND OTHER DOGS
Those of us who own these dogs
appreciate your help and respect!
