Even thought my life hasn’t been a bed of roses, I’m not letting it get me down. Let me introduce myself, I’m Jack and I’m a 5-year-old, male Miniature Schnauzer. Well, first I ended up at a L.A. city shelter after being hit by a car – there seems to be a lot of that going around. Unfortunately, my left eye had extensive damage and had to be removed. Jack Bonsai 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 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! Hello! My name is Slater and I’m a 2-yearold, male “Schnoodle” (Schnauzer/Poodle mix). I was rescued from a L.A. County shelter where I was called a stray. Shelters can be pretty intimidating to a little youngster like me so it’s no surprise that when I was first rescued, I was terribly frightened and pretty skittish. Actually, I was a bit of a basket case. I had some very special one-on-one training and am happy to say that I’ve gotten over some of my fear issues. I’m continuing on that path and am doing much better with strangers. That said, I think I would do best in a home without small children and with someone that has a little dog experience because I could really benefit from a confident owner. My friends all think I’m a really great guy because I’m very loyal, funny and 16 pounds of affection. I get along great with other dogs, I absolutely LOVE to go for Obviously, I wasn’t looking my best so it’s no surprise that there wasn’t much interest in adopting me. Then after I was rescued, it was discovered that my injury didn’t heal properly so I had to have another surgery on my eye to correct the problem. I have to admit I looked a bit rakish in my “patch” but since I’m all healed, the patch is gone and I’m on a quest to find a new home. I’ve been told that I am pretty territorial so I’m looking for a home that’s quiet (not a lot of visitors), adults only and with an alpha owner to remind me who’s the boss. I’m very affectionate with my people and at 22-pounds, I’m the perfect size to accompany you wherever you go. If you’re interested in Jack, please email info@msfr.org to set up an appointment to meet this little guy. He’s not very happy at our adoption fairs so we only show him by appointment. They call me Snow. I’m the last of the trio that was dumped at an L.A. shelter in late May when our previous owner realized he had more dogs than he could handle. My Mom and sister have both found awesome homes and now it’s my turn to do the same. I’m a 4.5-monthold Schnoodle (Schnauzer/Poodle mix) with a glistening white coat, thus the name Snow. At three months I weighed five pounds but will probably weigh 15-20 pounds when I’m full-grown. We think my birthday is March 1, 2016, which means I’m still just a pup with lots to learn. I actually was adopted but the folks returned me to the shelter the following week because I was “too vocal” and their neighbors complained. How was I supposed to know that I had to use my indoor voice? I had no training and I was alone all day so I belted out a few show tunes to entertain myself. I’m a cutie, I’m a sweetie and I want to be yours! Please come to adoptions, I know you’ll just fall in love with me when you see me. If you are interested in Snow, please email info@ msfr.org for more information. If you are familiar with the Japanese art form of Bonsai, you will understand how I came by my name. I was named Bonsai because I’m a diminutive (10-pound), delicate, 7-year-old, female purebred Chihuahua. I have beautiful brown eyes that contrast nicely with my cream colored coat. I was rescued from an L.A. County shelter the end of June and am looking for a home that will give as much love to me as I have for them. I have a sweet personality; a gentle temperament and I adore people. My favorite pastime is snuggling in your lap and giving kisses – of which I have an endless supply! Bonsai can be seen by appointment at Yellow Brick Road Doggie Playcare in El Segundo. Call 310-606-5507 or email southbaydoggie@hotmail.com for an appointment or more information. • Be kind. Save a life. Support animal rescue. Happy Tails Councilman from cover page WOW our little Bernadette – the female “Schnoodle” who had a fractured pelvis – has found the perfect home. Her new Mom is retired and a real animal lover. When informed that Bernadette has some urinary incontinence issues, her new Mom’s reaction was “well if it can’t be fixed that’s ok, she’ll just have to wear diapers!” Bernadette now lives in the OC with her 4-year old poodle brother, Jack who she is already smothering with kisses. They also have an 11-year old chocolate lab brother, Chip, who has his own custom pet elevator, that their Mom, had built, to help him get upstairs. Wishing this great family many happy years of fun and adventures. • Bernadette has a great new family! said. “The council will be hashing out the details.” Osborne is also working with West Basin, a regional water supplier, to move all of Lawndale’s water supply to reclaimed water. “Currently half of the water that cycles through Lawndale homes and businesses is potable H2o,” said Osborne. “The reclaimed water comes at a cheaper rate.” Another sustainability initiative Osborne actively supports is the South Bay Cities Green Building Challenge. The program helps businesses reduce waste through numerous cost-saving measures—all completely free to business owners. “This outreach is a win-win,” said Osborne, who sometimes goes door-to-door with COG staff to break the ice, and introduce local businesses to the program. In September, local music fans can enjoy yet another one of Osbornes’ passions. The Lawndale Blues Festival will kick off its annual concert on Sept. 24w. The all-day party will feature live bands, and a classic car show thrown in for good measure. Osborne founded the festival four years ago, when he realized that the city didn’t have anything to do with all the money it was making at its annual Fourth of July fireworks sale! He said he saw other cities doing it and thought, why not Lawndale? “The festival’s grown every year,“ Osborne said. “I book the bands.” And wouldn’t you know it, with Jim Osborne there’s bound to be a passion at the center of his civic calling. He’s played electric guitar for 40 years, spanning genres as diverse as jazz, blues and rock. Osborne says the city has made great progress lately. ”We’ve made tremendous strides in just a few years,” he said. He noted that the council has made good use of new redevelopment formula funding. “They are a great tool that’s been used exactly right in Lawndale.” There is no doubt the Osborne family legacy will endure, with Councilman James Osborne keeping the archives intact and the flames of civic engagement burning. • Pets can get loose or lost through mishaps and travel quickly.
