Our adoption fairs take place at Petco, 537 N. Pacific Coast Highway, Redondo Beach, California. Schnauzers! Bet you can’t adopt just one! Let’s see if we can give these furry kids a Happy Tails ending of their own! “Hi I’m Garth and I’ve had more than my share of neglect during my eight years. My owner was arrested and I was terrified, but that turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me. The MSFR folks rescued me from an LA County shelter and they took me in even though I was pretty disgusting. I was mortified because I hadn’t been bathed or groomed in so long that I was a matted, filthy mess. First stop on my road to a new life was a trip to the vet where I had to have 21 teeth extracted because they were so rotten the stench was terrible. Then I had to have a senior screen for bladder stone surgery. When the vet X-rayed me to check for stones, they also found out that I had been shot with a BB gun and had a BB lodged in my hip muscle. You can’t believe how much better I look and feel now that I’ve the proper care, but I am going to have to be on Rx dog food to prevent reoccurring stones. Other than being a This one will really warm your heart. We wish the best of luck to everyone’s favorite senior, Alvin, and his new family. Alvin is the nine-year-old, male, Miniature Schnauzer/ Yorkie mix that was to be euthanized--not once, Wowzer Schnauzer Happy Tails Alvin but twice--and luckily got reprieves. He was rescued by MSFR and has found his forever home. Alvin now has two human sisters and two Chihuahua sisters to love him and give him a wonderful rest of his life. • little overweight (21 pounds), I’m ready to start living life again. I’m a real people guy and I’m looking forward to making some new doggie pals. My one wish is to find a family that will appreciate my sweet disposition and adopt me. I know that not everyone is neglectful and I’m ready to give all my love and share my life with a family who will love me back.” Great things come in small packages! If you come to our adoption fair and ask for Becky, you’ll see that it’s true: “I was rescued from an LA County shelter where I was called a stray, but now I’m looking for my forever home. I’m a friendly, two-year-old female that is most likely a Miniature Schnauzer/Shih Tzu mix, but that’s only a guess. My pedigree might be questionable, but one thing that’s certain is that I am as cute and cuddly as can be. I may be petite, just under 10 pounds, but my personality and desire to find a family to love is huge. I have lots of love to give and I know you’ll want to take me home once I’ve stolen your heart.” “Aye, my name is Mac- Tavish but my friends call me Tavy. I got me name because I have a charcoal face and remind folks of a Scottie! I’m a Garth Becky MacTavish Lady 15-pound, one-year-old, male, Miniature Schnauzer mix. Before I was rescued, I spent several weeks at an LA city shelter after coming in as a stray. I’m not afraid to admit that I was a tad overwhelmed by it all and kept to myself during me stay there. ‘Tis probably why not many folks were interested in meeting me. Once I get to know you, and that doesn’t take long, I’ll be your best friend and a loyal, loving companion. I get along well with other dogs and the ladies say I am cute as a button! I’d love to meet and greet you at our adoption fair, so stop on by.” “Hello. I’m Lady and that’s exactly what I am. I’m a two-year-old Terrier mix who is a petite 7.5 pounds. Some may call me timid, but I like to think of myself as reserved. I was rescued from the Devore shelter in San Bernardino several weeks ago and now spend my time with the lovely volunteers at Yellow Brick Road. I must admit that I have bloomed under their care and I love to be held and cuddled. I get along well with both the large and the small dogs at Yellow Brick Road. I’m not a barker, I walk well on a leash and ride well in a car. I would be a wonderful addition to any household, but especially for an older person who wants a loving little companion to hold on their lap. If you would like to meet me, I can be seen anytime at Yellow Brick Road Doggie Playcare in El Segundo. Call 310- 606-5507. •
