safe during the holiday. While I was scouting
for comfy location, I got turned around
and couldn’t find my way home. That is
how I ended up at an LA County shelter as
a stray. I didn’t have a collar, tags or microchip…
so there was no way to contact my
previous owner. Luckily, I had a potential
adopter that was supposed to come for me.
Sadly, they never did. The folks at MSFR
just couldn’t leave an adorable 5-year-old,
female Miniature Schnauzer at the shelter, so
they rescued me. They could tell that I have
had numerous litters, so the first thing on the
list was a little neutering procedure to put an
end to that. Don’t ask me how I managed
to keep my figure and my weight -- a mere
12 pounds -- with all of those litters, but I
We are looking for volunteers to help with
our pet adoption fairs which are held every
Saturday at the Petco located at 537 N.

from noon to 3: 30 p.m. If you are interested
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.
“Let me introduce myself. My name is
Blanca and shortly before the 4th of July,
I decided I needed to find a place to feel
have. I’ve also got a gorgeous light silver
coat and huge, dark eyes. I’m very sweet
and I enjoy socially interacting with other
dogs, so I’d be the perfect addition to any
family. Please visit me at our adoption fair
and see what a special gal I am.”
If you’re interested in Blanca, please email
info@msfr.org for more information.
“If you are looking for a cute, little friendly
guy with a comical personality, look no further.
Just come to our adoption fair and ask for
me – Archie. On July 4,, my brother and I
were running for our lives. There were bombs
bursting in air, things popping and whistling
and crackling all around us. We were so scared
that we just kept on running and running…
until we got lost and ended up at an LA area
shelter the next day. My brother got adopted
almost immediately, but they couldn’t care for
two of us and they left me behind. When the
MSFR folks saw my shelter picture with one
ear up, one ear down looking scruffily adorable,
they had to rescue me. I’m a purebred
Miniature Schnauzer that is only 2 years old, so
I still have a lot of time to provide adventures
and comic relief to my forever family. Now
that I’ve been sort of groomed, I’m looking
pretty dapper and we discovered that I have
big, beautiful bat ears that stand at attention.
Who knew? I’m a pretty happy little 15-pound
guy who gets along great with other dogs and
would love to be part of your family.”

Congratulations to Davis, Dobbs and their new family!
Congratulations to Davis, Dobbs and their
new family. Talk about a “Cinderfella” story.
These two little guys were dumped by their
previous owners, most likely due to a skin
condition. Then because that condition was
highly contagious, they were persona non
grata at the shelter. Talk about rejection and
despair! A lot of TLC and medicated baths
transformed these two into the handsome
adorable boys you see now. Is it any wonder
that their new “parents” couldn’t resist welcoming
both of them into their hearts? Their
new family previously had two Schnauzers
that passed due to old age and disease, so
adopting another pair just seemed the perfect
thing to do. Davis, now named Bailey, and
Dobbs, now named Miles, reside in Long
Beach. Huge plus for this duo – they have
a 10-year-old human sister and a 12-year-old
human brother to make their lives even better.
Wishing all of them many years of laughter
and happiness…
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!
