Pets can get

mishaps
and travel quickly.

Congratulations to Ryan, now named Duke, and his new family.

Congratulations to Ryan and his new family,
who just happen to be previous MSFR adopters.
They recently lost their Miniature Schnauzer
to cancer and their other dog Tootie was really
lonely. The dog they lost and Tootie are both
MSFR alumni, so it’s no surprise they came to us
to find the perfect new addition to their family.
Ryan, now named Duke, joins Tootie, two human
brothers, his mom and dad and a couple of
cats in their Long Beach home. Duke has been
“home” for several days and we’re happy to
report that his folks say all is well. He has
settled in and everyone loves everyone! In fact,
he’s so settled in that he already has a favorite
chair! Wishing the whole family many years of
love, happiness and a lot of fun adventures… •
Precious Pooches
I get along well with everyone.”

“I’ve been named Flora, which is of Latin
origin, and means flower. It’s absolutely the
perfect name for a tiny 10-pound gal, as I
continue to bloom under the care of my
foster folks. I have to tell you that when I
was found by animal control and taken to
an LA county shelter, I was nothing short
of a mess. I had to be placed in the medical
building because of a disgusting and painful
skin condition. I won’t get too graphic, but
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 Hwy., Redondo Beach 90277,
from noon to 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.
“Hi there! I am Billie, a 2-year-old,
male Miniature Schnauzer mix who was
homeless and living on the streets of
Tijuana. My companion Holiday -- who could
possibly be related to me --and I decided to
take a trip with friends and ventured south
of the border for a weekend of fun. Unfortunately,
we missed our ride home. without
any place to stay, we ended up living on
the street. Holiday has quite a voice, so we
made our living as street entertainers until
a rescue group rounded us up and returned
us to the USA. They contacted the folks at
MSFR, who were kind enough to take us
in and are helping us find our forever homes.
It has been decided that my mix could be
Doxie because I have a longer, trim, 14-pound
body with legs that are very sturdy but a
bit short. I’m still very playful and have
retained my puppyish charm that endears me
to people and other dogs. I guess that’s why
the sores and inflammation were so bad that
I didn’t even want to be touched. I certainly
was not adoptable in that condition and that’s
when the big-hearted MSFR folks rescued
me. They took me straight to their veterinarian
where several different skin tests were
performed and the final diagnosis was that
my condition was called demodectic mange.
Plus, I also had an ear infection. Thankfully,
the mange wasn’t contagious. So I just spent
a few days at the animal hospital receiving
treatment. Amazingly, I responded so well
that I was looking and feeling much better
after only one treatment and a medicated
bath. It has been a bit of a rough road for
this 4-year old, female, purebred Miniature
Schnauzer -- but I know the best is yet to
come! If you’re looking for a petite youngster
to share your life, I’m definitely the gal for
you. I will admit that children are not my
favorite people and I would be best in a
home without them. That said, I get along
great with other dogs. However, I also do
just fine by myself.”

“My name is Fritz and I was truly living
the good life – until recently. You see, my
human mom had rescued me from the Laguna
Beach shelter when I was a year old and for
10 years we had the most wonderful, happy,
loving life. Then my mom passed away and
now I’m a senior dog looking for a guardian
angel to adopt me. I’m a small Dachshund
mix who is in good health and my medical
records are readily available to see. I had
spinal surgery from one of the top docs in
Orange County California, but now I can
run and walk with the best of them. Since
my surgery, I do need to wear a harness and
can’t be pulled by a collar/leash around my
neck. I recently fractured three teeth and
had to have them extracted, but I’m still on
my same diet of kibble hydrated with water
and can eat nutritious snacks. I am really a
sweetie who gets along with children, but
am not real enthusiastic about living with
them. My favorite things in the whole world
are to snuggle and go places with my family.
While I prefer to sleep in bed with my
humans… if that doesn’t work for you, I’m
happy sleeping in my own cozy bed. You can
see that I would be a great addition to any
family and I’m looking for my forever family
to share all of the love and companionship
I have to give.”
