Page 8 August 25, 2016 TORRANCE TRIBUNE Wowser Schnauzers 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 good, feeling even better than Russell Randy Corky Earl 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 Highway 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! 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 was in so much pain that I was fearful 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.
