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 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 cause
someone turn 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-week stay at the
veterinarian’s so that I could remain isolated
while getting Ivermectin treatments. I have
had my last treatment and I’m ready to look
for a family that will want me and all the
love I have to give. Honestly, if you were to
see me now, you’d never believe I was the
patch- haired, semi-bald dog that was rescued.

“Hi there, my name is Davis! My brother
Dobbs and I were dumped at an LA area
shelter by our previous owners and we’re
guessing it’s because we had sarcoptic mange
and they didn’t want to deal with it. Why else
would someone turn in 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. Ta-da…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 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, patchyhaired
guy that was rescued. Now everyone
can see that I’m quite good-looking with my
Even though I’m a mix, I have inherited all
of the ‘schnauzery’ good looks – especially
with my natural ears and natural tail. Since
I’m not very big, I am easily transportable
and ready to go anywhere. Well, 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.”

“How would you like to be abandoned
by your family after loving them and being
a loyal companion for 10 years? Well, I
certainly was devastated when it happened
to me. My name is Sushi and I was rescued
from an Inland Empire shelter after my family
told the shelter they were moving and
couldn’t take me with them -- so they just
dumped me. The shelter folks felt so badly
for me that they gave me a dental, a blood
work-up and then contacted MSFR to ask
them if they could rescue me because they
were doubtful they could find a home for
me. A trip to the MSFR veterinarian, who
took x-rays, quickly revealed that I have an
enlarged heart and a grade 4 heart murmur. I
had an appointment with a cardiologist, who
confirmed that medication would definitely
help my heart murmur and so I’m now on
the inexpensive kind and feeling fine. I’m
also planning on dropping a couple of pounds
because at my current weight of 24 pounds,
I’m a tad overweight. Luckily, I still get along
and love to play with other dogs and I have
a great temperament. You’d be hard-pressed
to find a sweeter and more affectionate dog
anywhere. Add my stunning good looks with
my black and silver coat and I would be the
perfect dog for you.”

Congratulations to Billie and his new family!
Congratulations to Billie, our Schnauzer mix
rescue from Tijuana, and his new family. He
was actually rescued by another organization
in November and we took him in. He has been
just waiting for the perfect family to come along
and adopt him -- and the wait was worth it. His
new family came to us via a referral from a
longtime friend and fellow rescuer after they lost
their 12-year-old Lab to cancer. Their Spaniel
mix was very lonely and when the family met
Billie at Yellow Brick Road doggie daycare
(now known as Down Dog Lodge), it was a
done deal. The two dogs, who are similar in
size, hit it off like they had known each other
their whole lives and are the best of buddies.
In addition to a new Spaniel sister, Billie has
a new mom, dad and a human teenage sister.
Billie is now living in El Segundo and we
want to send a huge thanks to Charlotte for
her hand in bringing this family together. We
expect there will be many happy stories to tell
and happiness to share. •
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! Be kind. Save a life,
