Those fi reworks were ear-shattering, so I took off running to fi nd somewhere to hide. Then I got lost and ended up as a stray in a shelter. My name is Clay and I’m a 15-pound, one-year old male Miniature Schnauzer/Jack Russell mix. I was such a matted mess that no one was the least bit interested in me. The compassionate shelter volunteers took pity on me and decided to clean me up. Voila! Under that hot mess was a cute, sweet little guy with huge, dark eyes and a glistening white coat! I’m a friendly, happy go-lucky kind of guy that likes to play and gets along great with other dogs. I was a bit needy when I fi rst got to my foster home, but it didn’t take long to build my confi dence and fi t right in.” If you are interested in Clay, please email info@msfr.org for more information. “They call me Corky and I’m a six-year old female purebred Miniature Schnauzer. Just like my friend Russell, I was confi scated with Happy Tails eight other dogs and we all ended up at an LA 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 good and feeling even better than I look…but I will have to remain on eyedrops 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. “Hello! My name is Slater and I’m a very cute two-year old male “Schnoodle” (Schnauzer/Poodle mix). I was rescued from an LA 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 fi rst rescued I was terribly frightened and very 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 Corky Brandy Brooklyn (formerly named Banks) is now living a happy, adventured-fi lled life with a new family! 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 who has a little dog experience because I could really benefi t from a confi dent 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 walks and did I mention I’m cute as a button?” If you are interested in Slater, please email info@msfr.org for more information. “If a petite, adorable, one-year old female Shih Tzu/Terrier mix is your idea of the perfect companion, look no further. I’m Brandy and I’m your gal! One evening when I was out for a little socializing, I was hit by a car and taken to a City of LA shelter. Since I didn’t have any information on me, I was considered a stray. The only injury I sustained from my unfortunate encounter with that car was a fractured pelvis. Thankfully I didn’t require surgery, but fi ve weeks of cage rest was my penance for venturing out. The MSFR Vet has examined me and, after taking another set of x-rays, I’m happy to say I received a clean bill of health. I’m a playful little gal, weighing in at about seven pounds, who gets along well with other dogs. Well, if truth be told, I do exhibit some food guarding when other dogs get too close to my bowl. I’m working on housebreaking and will need a bit more, but I am crate-trained. I’m sure once you see what a precious little cutie I am, you won’t be able to resist taking me home.” If you are interested in Brandy, please email info@msfr.org for more information. Congratulations to Banks, now called Brooklyn, and his new family. Brooklyn is our Riverside shelter rescue from mid-October who stole the hearts of his new mom and 10-year-old human brother. Our volunteer, Dolores, met them at the dog park and referred them to us after comparing notes Saving one animal won’t change the world, but the world will surely change for that animal. on Miniature Schnauzers. They came to our pet adoptions, met Brooklyn and the rest is history. In addition to his 10-year-old twolegged brother, Brooklyn also has a one-year old, four-legged brother named Beau. Sounds like they’ll be living an adventure-fi lled life and we wish them much happiness.
