Page 4 June 15, 2017 Wowser Schnauzers Cooper Percy Happy Tails Have a fantastic time with your new family Ferguson! If you’re interested in Cooper, please email info@msfr.org for more information. “Hello, please let me introduce myself. My name is Chevy and I’m a 16-year-old female Terrier mix. Yes, I said a 16-year-old- -and at my advanced age, I’m not looking for a forever home. I’m looking at my last home. Back in 2001, I was rescued from an animal shelter by the MSFR founders who found a loving family to adopt me. I had a wonderful, happy life that even included a human brother. I thought my life would be Chevy 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! “They call me Cooper and I’m just a bit of a guy--only 12 pounds--so you might say I’m a “mini” Cooper. Actually, I am a three-yearold male Miniature [there’s that ‘mini’ again] Schnauzer/Poodle mix. Some folks would call me a Schnoodle. Kind of cute, huh? Well, I was rescued from an LA county shelter where I ended up after becoming lost while on a walk. Apparently, if I had to guess based on my appearance, I had been walking for a long time because I was quite the mess. No one could even determine what kind of dog I was until I was shaved and all of the mats were removed. Then they discovered what an awesome guy I am. I had my dental and now it’s a toss-up whether it’s my gleaming smile or my handsome little face that will win folks over. I’m very good-natured and I love to play--so if I’m what you’ve been looking for, let’s do a meet and greet at the MSFR adoptions.” like this forever, but then our parents died unexpectedly a few years ago. My brother, who is now in his mid-twenties, took care of me for a while…but as I aged, all of the issues that come with aging began to occur. I guess he couldn’t deal with my heart problems, limited vision, incontinence and the fact that on bad days I’m disoriented and just wander around. Somehow I got out and animal control picked me up. Even though I was micro-chipped, the chip was still registered to MSFR because my family never changed my registration. The shelter contacted MSFR and they were able to track down my brother who no longer wants me. The shelter told MSFR that due to my advanced age and health issues, they deemed me unadoptable. We all knew that meant I would be euthanized, but MSFR just couldn’t let that happen. So hoping for miracle, they rescued me and I’m now in hospice care and they tell me I will be taken care of while I still have some quality of life. Even though I’m a little love, I don’t know if anyone has a heart big enough to adopt me. I’m in foster care and I spend my days wandering around with my doggie friend who keeps an eye on me. If you can just find it in your heart to help with my care by making even a small donation, I would be so grateful for your compassion and support.” If you’re interested in adopting or even helping Chevy, please email info@msfr.org for more information. “If you’re looking for a great little dog that is friendly with strangers, housebroken, has had basic obedience training and has the good manners to behave when left home alone, than you have found him! My name is Percy and I am a four-year old male and neutered Terrier mix. Did I mention that I’m only 20 pounds and cute as a button? If not, I can assure you that I am. Due to a series of unhappy family events, I have had five different homes in the last two years and frankly, I’m really tired of moving. Although these unfortunate circumstances failed to alter my cheerful and outgoing personality, I’m definitely looking for my forever home. I’d love to find a place with lots of activity so I don’t get bored. I’ll run with you, I’ll play in the yard--and older children are my favorites. I’m considered to be calm and well-behaved indoors, but I do love to get my exercise in a great yard. If properly introduced, I get along okay with other dogs--but I guess you could say I’m a real people kind of pup.” Please note Percy is a courtesy listing and is located with his current owner in Redondo Beach.

His new family previously owned a Schnauzer and they had recently lost their Scottish Terrier to cancer. When they met Ferguson, it was serendipity! His new family also consists of Be kind. Save a life. Support animal rescue. two kids with whom Ferguson immediately fell in love. The time he spent cuddling on their laps definitely sealed the deal. The icing on the cake is that he also has a stay-at-home mom, so this summer they’ll be having lots of fun adventures in Santa Monica. Wishing you all a lifetime of happiness! •
