Page 8 January 30, 2014 Wowzer Schnauzer “It has been said that if you were to look up ‘cutie’ in the dictionary, you would find my picture! My name is Gerald and I guess I’ve been a bit of a surprise to everyone. I was such a matted mess when my owner left me at the LA County shelter that it was depressing. Who knew that a makeover would reveal a Miniature Schnauzer/Shih Tzu mix with a perpetual puppy face? I don’t know why my owner didn’t want me because I’m really a sweet guy who gets along with everyone. The MSFR folks think I need a patient adopter because I’m very quiet and shy for a 1.5-year-old boy. Some leash training--not sure what that means--would be a big help. Since I’m only 10 pounds, I think I would be happier if my new home didn’t have any small kids because they scare me. I’m looking for someone to love me and to grow old with.” If you are interested in Gerald, please email info@msfr.org for more information.” “Mulligan can mean a lot of things, but in my case it should mean absolutely adorable. I’m only six months old, but I’ve already spent a short time at an LA County shelter where my owner left me. I was so frightened by the whole ordeal that when I was rescued, I hid from everyone. The MSFR folks were very patient with me and I finally came around and made friends. Of course, the chicken they coaxed me with helped quite a bit. I’ve been told that I’m a Miniature Schnauzer mix, but you can see for yourself. I look more like a Schnauzer than anything. My current weight is about 11 pounds, but I’m still growing- -so I’ll most likely be 15-20 pounds when I’m fully grown. I have a lovely, natural tail and I am great with other dogs.” If you are interested in Mulligan, please email info@ msfr.org for more information. “My name is Yogi and my owner turned me in to an LA County shelter when I got an ear hematoma. I gave him the best first two years of my life and he dumped me! An ear hematoma occurs when there’s trauma to the ear and the flap portion fills with blood, kind of like a big blood blister. After the MSFR folks rescued me, I went to the vet and they treated me by putting a drain in my ear. I’m looking for a home that will keep me and love me forever. I’m a very friendly, male, purebred Miniature Schnauzer who gets along with other dogs. I’m a little big at 27 pounds, but the perfect size to go for walks, play with and be a great companion.” If you are interested in two-year-old Yogi, please email info@msfr.org for more information. “They call me Pepperoni because I’m more fun than a pizza on a Friday night. I’m a male Chihuahua mix who was rescued from the San Bernardino shelter and am currently residing in a cage-free facility. It’s the best because I can roam and play with dozens of other doggie pals that are my size and we all get along great. I’m a happy little pup--probably around six months old--who has fun just being a playful, silly guy. I’m not very big--about seven pounds, which means holding and cuddling me is easy to do. I’m really friendly and enjoy spending time with everyone, even young children.” Pepperoni can be seen anytime at Yellow Brick Road Doggie Playcare in El Segundo. Call 310-606-5507. • Yogi Mulligan Gerald Happy Tails Pepperoni Gidget Melts in Her New Dad’s Arms Congratulations to Gidget and her new family. She is our Schnauzer mix rescued late September from the Downey shelter. Gidget is a shy girl, but she warmed up to her new mom and dad very quickly... in fact for not liking men so much, she almost melted in her new dad’s arms. I see her being a real daddy’s girl. What a life--she’ll be an only dog, which suits her perfectly, and will be doted on by her retired dad and mom. Much happiness to all! • If you have any questions about a particular dog’s availability, you can email us at info@msfr.org.
