Page 8 August 25, 2016 was in so much pain that I was fearful and couldn’t stand to be touched. During my neutering the shelter folks did their best at grooming me so I look somewhat presentable. If I hadn’t been in the observation building, I might not have been rescued. After being rescued, I immediately went to the Vet to get my ears taken care of. A little sedation to help diagnose the problem and three weeks of treatment – voila I’m feeling great and loving life. I never knew that being petted; receiving and giving affection and interacting with humans could be so wonderful. It’s opened a whole new world to this 21-pound guy who is a real sweetheart and now looking for a family to let me love them. It will be worth everything to find my forever home. If you are interested in Russell, please email info@msfr.org for more information. They call me Corky and I’m a 6-year-old, female purebred Miniature Schnauzer. Just like my friend, Russell, I was confiscated with eight other dogs and we all ended up at an L.A. County shelter. Most of the other dogs were adopted but Russell and I were pretty repugnant. In addition to being a stinky, matted mess, my eyes were all crusted over, due to an untreated dry eye condition, and my teeth were so bad that even I didn’t want to be around me. The rescue folks, who by the way are very savvy, suspected that I had bladder stones and they were right! One procedure took care of the stones, the neutering and a dental, which resulted in the removal of 15 teeth. Looking Russell Randy Corky Earl Ziggy found a new home and sister! Wowser Schnauzers Happy Tails Congratulations to Ziggy – the last of our “Bowie” trio – and her new family. Although we tried for six months to place Ziggy and her sister Stardust together, it just didn’t happen. Last month after Stardust was adopted, Ziggy was a bit depressed and missed her sister but lo and behold, Ziggy truly hit the lottery. She now has an 11-yearold, Maltese Terrier sister named Bella and they look so much alike they could be twins! Her mom has recently retired and spends all day providing attention and a great home for her furry kids in Pasadena. As a further sign that it was meant to be. Mom was also a big David Bowie fan! Wishing everyone a great life of fun and adventures. • We are looking for volunteers to help with our pet adoption fairs which are held every Saturday at the Petco located at 537 N.

If you believe everything happens for a reason you’ll appreciate my story. I’m Russell a 5-year-old, male purebred Miniature Schnauzer. If I hadn’t been confiscated, along with eight other dogs, due to neglect and taken to an L.A. County shelter, I never would have been rescued. Most of the dogs were adopted but my friend, Corky, and I were such a mess it’s no surprise that no one wanted us. I don’t think I had ever been groomed in my entire life and my ears were so infected that it hurt to be touched. I was terribly matted and it was extremely difficult to tell which end was which – even my natural tail didn’t help much. Is it any wonder that folks were speaking to the wrong end trying to get my attention? At first I was put in the observation building and had no visitors. It wasn’t due to aggression, but I good, feeling even better than I look but I will have to remain on eye drops to keep my eyes clear and on Rx dog food to prevent reoccurring stones. I’m just a bit of a gal, only 12 pounds, but I get along great with other dogs and I’m very affectionate. I’m cute as a button with my natural plume of a tail and I know you’ll love having me as part of your family. If you’re interested in Corky, please email info@msfr.org for more information. Hi there, my name is Randy and for a guy who’s only 5 months old, I’ve had a pretty interesting life. I was born around March 12, but then I was dumped at an L.A. County shelter without any explanation. My previous owners called the next day and wanted me back but then never came to take me home. I think that it probably worked out for the best because it’s obvious they really didn’t love me. When I was rescued, I was extremely matted, not well socialized and clearly neglected. No wonder I was fearful of people and I sure didn’t trust that groomer person with the clippers and scissors. I guess that why I ended up with a “mop top” makeover. Even if it’s a bit unconventional, I think I look pretty cute for a tiny, 6 pound, Miniature Schnauzer/Shih Tzu pup. Since moving in with my foster family, I’ve gotten with the program and have proven that I am a sweet guy at heart who loves giving kisses. I’m still going to require an owner that is dog savvy and without small children to be the best guy I can be. Would you be willing to give me a home and show me that life can be loving and good? If you are interested in Randy, please email info@msfr.org for more information. Have you ever seen a 2-year-old, 60-pound, male Catahoula mix dog? If you’d like to meet one, just ask for Earl. I was rescued from an L.A. County shelter where they called me a stray but I was just lost. I’m very intelligent and would be a great addition to your family. I have fine leash and car manners, I’m housebroken, crate and doggy-door trained. I aced my leadership-based obedience classes but like many large-breed adolescents, I can be stubborn. I would do best with an “alpha” handler who has experience and time to help me fulfill my potential. In fact, I thought I had found my forever home, but unfortunately I was returned after just a few months. My over-scheduled adopter decided that she did not have time for a young, very active dog who’s is a happy, playful and affectionate boy. I absolutely love people of all ages, sizes and genders. If you are interested in meeting Earl, please email Emread@verizon. net for more information. • Be kind. Save a life. Support animal rescue.
