Welcome Jack!

by corkig

Jack has just joined us from a shelter in Iowa. He has been a great boy so far. He likes to cuddle A LOT and has been getting along wonderfully with his foster brother, Talis. Jack is quite at home outside in the back yard and inside the house chilling on the couch while we watch tv.

There was a schnauzer in there!

Both he and Talis got haircuts. Look who I found in there! Jack was a dream to groom, even when I did his ears and paws.

Update on Jim

by Rebecca D

Hi

I just wanted to check in.  So much has happened since I came to schnauzer rescue.  My foster mom says I am an overachiever because I have made so much progress since coming from the puppy mill. When I first came to my foster home I used to hide in the hallway or under the table.  Not anymore!  I wag my tail, play outside with my foster sister,  and I LOVE treats. I love following my family around and spending time where they are.  I now know that a blanket is more comfortable than the floor, carpet is ok to walk on, and I can walk down stairs if I am careful. I still do not know what to think of the parrot in the house.  He is kinda loud!  I absolutely love having my head scratched.  I can sit next to my foster mom for hours while she rubs my ears.  I also went for a walk around the neighborhood.  It was kinda scary, but I know that I will be walking around the lake in no time. I get so tired from all of the changes in my life, but I know that I will always have a warm and soft bed to lie on at the end of the day now! More later-Jim

Buffy has a forever home!

by PamOBrien

Buffy is a 4 year old female miniature schnauzer that came from a puppy mill and arrived in a crate in the back of a horse trailer she was a scared frightened little dog with big eyes that could not stop shaking. Not only had she been a mill dog all her life but had also been debarked. When I first picked her up I thought, will this poor little dog ever learn to trust or to love again.

When I first brought Buffy home she did not even know how to go up and down the stairs, we had to start with the basics. Her foster sister Natasha, a Giant Schnauzer, helped to teach her things right from the start and before I knew it Buffy could go up and down the stairs, she learned to walk on a leash and to play with toys.

Buffy has already overcome so many hurdles and she is learning to trust more and more every day. She loves to sleep in her foster sister bed which is now is Buffy’s bed, good thing Natasha has learned to share.

Natasha and Buffy have become good friends and are continuing to learn to play together. Buffy is just as sweet as she can be and she loves to sit in your lap and cuddle and she loves to gives kisses. She is a very special girl and everyone that meets her just falls in love with her. She has touched my heart in a very special way. Thank you MSPMSR for my wonderful new friend!

Introducing Jim

by rebecca

Jim is a two year old salt and pepper miniature schnauzer.  He is a former puppy mill dog who is working on coming out of his shell.  He is very quiet, and still timid around people.  He is beginning to come to his foster mom he for petting and loves playing with his toys.  He is very curious, and loves to follow his foster family from room to room. He is a gentle little guy and gets along well with the other schnauzer in the house.  Look at his adorable face!!!  Can you help this guy continue to come out of his shell??

Billie

by PamOBrien

This beautiful girl needs a forever home that she can have a human all to herself.  She is used to being with older people and loves to cuddle.  The most amazing thing is she lost 10 lbs in her foster homes and now is very agile.  She loves her food and is very food motivated!  She has become a very quick chaser.  We know there is someone very special out there that will give her a forever home that she deserves.
