“No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears.  I’m here, nothing can harm you;  my words will warm and calm you.  Say you love me every waking moment, turn my head with talk of summertime.  Say you need me with you, now and always.  Promise me that all you say is true.  That’s all I ask of you!”  Someone to hold me and say nothing will ever harm you.  Someone to say they need me, now and always.  Doesn’t that sound like the perfect forever home?  That’s what I’m waiting for!  I’m Shannon and I’m a female, white Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about eighteen months old and I weigh about thirteen pounds.  The perfect size to take over your lap!  I’m a sweet young lady as those who have met me will attest!  I love to show my affection for my owner.  And I love it when it’s given right back to me!  My favorite spot is a dog bed in the kitchen so I can watch your every move!  I’m crate trained, doggy door trained and I’m working hard on my house training skills. Almost there!  I get along fine with other dogs and, being young, it might be fun for me to have a four-legged friend to play with.  No other friend?  That’s OK too!  You and I can have some big fun together!  Or I can entertain myself with a nice selection of toys!  I do well riding in a car and I like going where you go.  The dog park is my favorite.  Then PetSmart.  Then lunch.  Then cuddle time.  Then night-night in the big human bed.  Ah…what a day!  Nothing can harm me when I’m with you!  ”Love me – that’s all I ask of you.  Anywhere you go, let me go too.  Love me – that’s all I ask of you.”  Just someone to love me.  That’s not all that much to ask.  Is it you?  Can it be?  Then ask for me, Shannon, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“Where you go, I’ll go.  Where you stay, I’ll stay.  When you move, I’ll move.  I will follow!  All your ways are good;  All your ways are sure.  I will trust in you alone!  In you there’s freedom for my soul!  In you there’s joy, unending joy!  And I will follow!”  Follow?  I’ll follow you right to your loving forever home!  You bet!  I’m Baxter and I’m a male, black & white Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a natural tail.  I just turned one year old and I weigh just twelve pounds!  I’m the perfect size for your lap…and that’s my true happy place!  I’m sweet and friendly with all my human friends and I am also good with children.  Children can be so much fun!  Did I mention I was cute too?!  Handsome if you please!  I’m good around other dogs and I can go to a home with or without another four-legged friend to play with.  In fact, I can go to just about any type of forever home environment!  I’m easy!  I like to ride in the car and enjoy going places with you.  I’m crate trained and I’m house trained too.  Not bad for a toddler!  I’ve got the skills, I’ve got plenty of fun in me….and did I mention I was cute too?!  All I need is you.  Someone to trust.  Someone to follow!  Ask for me, Baxter, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“Money talks but it don’t sing and dance;  And it don’t walk.  And long as I can have you here with me, I’d much rather be forever in blue jeans!  Maybe tonight, by the fire all alone, you and I;  Nothing around but the sound of my heart and your sighs!  I’d much rather be, Forever In Blue Jeans!”  Life’s too short and I just want to be me!  I don’t need a docked tail just to fit in!  No sir – I like my natural tail!  I’m Sloane and I’m a female, black & silver miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about three years old and I weigh about eighteen pounds.  I am just an all around good companion!  I’m a quiet gal and I love to entertain myself with stuffed toys.  I can also keep lizards jumping in the backyard!  I love the attention of my human and I’m happiest when I’m by your side with your hand on my back.  Oh, wait.  No, under your covers keeping your feet warm.  Yes, that’s my happiest place!  I get along fine with other dogs and i will play with them.  But I’m also content to be your only four-legged best friend too!  I am crate trained and I’m also house trained.  A good companion, remember?!!  Take me where you go…I’m good in the car too!  I’ve got a little cataract in my left eye but that’s not slowing me down.  I’ve got my blue jeans on and I’m ready for your love!  Ask for me, Sloane, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“Well the first time that I saw ya, you looked down and out;  And I had my doubts about you.  But baby since I’ve come to know ya, I ain’t got no doubts;  What it’s about!  Me and baby. we’re going out tonight!  She’s gonna treat me right!  Ooh yeah!  Me and sugar, we’ve got it all sewn up!  We’re going head first!”  Head first.  Head over heals.  In Love!  That’s the kind of home I dream about!  I’m Archie and I’m a male, liver parti-colored Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about one year old and I weigh just eight pounds.  I’m your typical Schnauzer puppy….fun and a little mischevious!  I love my adult human friends.  I haven’t lived with children but I tend to raise my voice to them when I see them on a walk.  Maybe I’d be best with adults for now.  I’m crate trained and I know how to use the doggy door.  I’m pretty much house trained if I have access outside.  Maybe a little more work to do before I get my house trained certificate!  If you turn your head, I might grab some of your dirty laundry and take it to my dog bed.  The smell of you….I just love to be around it!  I have been left alone with another four-legged friend and I’ve never been destructive.  Except for stuff in small trash cans.  But that’s not destructive….it was trash anyway!  I will need some puppy training as I’m a little bit food aggressive and can be aggressive toward new dogs that I meet.  I know…all eight pounds of me.  Tough guy!  But you can see that I also have my loving side and I like nothing more than laying by your side and getting an evening pet!  I’m so young that you can train me to be whatever you want me to be.  I’m ready!  Let’s get started.  I’m going head first!  Ask for me, Archie, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“Working double time on the seduction line;  She’s one of a kind, she’s just mine, all mine!  Wanted no applause, it’s just another course;  Made a meal outta me and come back for more!  Had to cool me down to take another round;  Back in the ring to take another swing!  The walls start shaking, earth was quaking;  My mind was aching, we were making it!  And you shook me all night long!”  Someone to call ‘all mine’.  That would be so cool!  I’m Dunny and I’m a male, liver parti-colored Miniature Schnauzer with cropped ears and a docked tail.  I’m about three years old and I weigh just twelve pounds.  Dynamite comes in a small package too!  I’m funny and very playful.  I’m a very friendly guy and you’ll hardly know I’m around.  My previous ‘owners’, if you can call them that, had me debarked.  Not a sound I’ll make.  Well, a very quiet sound anyway.  Want a quiet house?  Well, I’m the guy for you!  Apartment dweller?  No problem!  I am afraid of men…you could probably guess why…and I need to go to a home with a female owner.  I get along with other dogs and can go to a home with or without other friends to play with.  I’m crate trained and I recently received my house training certificate!  Whoo hoo!  I’m using the doggy door like a pro!  House training just wasn’t all that important where I came from…..but I learned fast….it’s importnat to my future forever home!  There’s a better life out there.  I know it.  I feel it.  It makes me shake!  ”You got me goin’, shook me all night long!”  Party all night long without a sound!  Just a loving embrace…that’s all we need!  Ask for me, Dunny, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“Ain’t got no trouble in my life; No foolish dream to make me cry. I’m never frightened or worried; I know I’ll always get by. I heat up. I cool down. When something gets in my way I go round it! Don’t let life get me down; Gonna take life the way that I found it! I got the music in me. I got the music in me. I got the music in me!” Oh, when I hear music, I just want to dance! I’d like to dance my way right into your loving forever arms! I’m Naomi and I’m a female, black Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a natural tail. I’m about two years old and I weigh about sixteen pounds. I’m a super sweet young lady and I love all my human friends. I haven’t been tested around children but I’m so darn friendly (and submissive) that I know I’ll be perfect with them! And I will be perfect for them….we can wear each other out!  I love giving kisses!  I love other dogs and I like to get outside and play with other four-legged friends. Dogs that is. Cats? Not so much. I ride very quietly in a car and am always hopeful that a car ride leads to the dog park! That place is so cool! I’m crate trained and I am house trained too!  In a previous foster home, I learned to use the doggy door too! I know how to sit…and I even do it on command on occasion! I do know how to walk on a leash! I like to cuddle and, when the day nears its end, I’m content to just sit and cuddle with you on the couch. In fact, when I’m tired and need a nap, I like to be on top the back of the couch….the view’s better! “They say that life is a circle; But that ain’t the way that I’ve found it. Gonna move in a straight line; Keeping my feet firmly on the ground.” That’s the way. It’s a straight line from here to your forever home! All you have to do is ask for me, Naomi, on your MSRH adoption application! Mom says there’s not one band thing about me…so you better hurry! I’m going to make someone a wonderful companion!

“Why do fools fall in love?  Why do birds sing so gay?  And lovers await the break of day;  Why do they fall in love?  Why does the rain fall from up above?  Why do fools fall in love?  Love is a losing game.  Love can be a shame.  I know of a fool, you see;  For that fool is me!”  What can I say?  I’m a hopeless romantic!  The kind of guys that never takes his eyes off my human!  The kind of guy that will wag his tail no matter what you’re telling me!  I’m Sebastian Jack and I’m a male, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about ten years old and I weigh about fourteen pounds.  Little.  And lovable!  And size doesn’t matter anyway.  I’m a very sweet guy – my foster mom says I’m the sweetest!  I love children and am calm and gentle with them.  I’m ready for fun and then ready to cuddle! I’ve been rescued by MSRH twice now.  I find the right family, I’m the love of their life, but then their circumstances change and they can no longer keep me.  Depressing really….especially when the situation isn’t my fault!  At eight, I was still in the running with other rescues.  At ten, people will see my age first and not focus on much else.  But not you, right?  I’m crate trained and I’m house trained too.  I’m very good around other dogs.  I can also entertain myself.  My foster mom says I am a complete gentleman in the house!  At night, I love my little dog bed and I sleep the whole night through!  I just want love.  Nothing else really matters!  “Why does my heart skip a crazy beat?  For I know it will reach defeat.  Why do fools fall in love?”  I still believe in love.  Your love!  Give it to me!!  Ask for me, Sebastian Jack, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $150

“No matter how hard I try, you keep pushing me aside.  And I can’t break through;  There’s no talking to you.  So sad that you’re leaving, takes time to believe it.  But after all is said and done, you’re going to be the lonely one!  Do you believe in life after love?”  Life after love.  How ’bout a life with love?!  Lots of love!  TONS of love!  I’m Friday and I’m a male, black Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about four years old and I weigh about sixteen pounds.  I’m a super friendly guy that just loves to be part of the family.  I’m good with humans of all ages, shapes and sizes!  There’s no one that I can’t love!  I’m a playful guy and enjoy some time outdoors.  If I had another four-legged friend to play with that would be cool, but I can just as easily be your only four-legged friend too.  I know some basic commands including ‘come, let’s load up’.  That means car ride….and I’m all over it!  I love car rides!  I’m crate trained and I’m house trained too.  Cuddle time is one of my other special skills.  Perhaps the most important skill of all!  ”But I know that I’ll get through this ’cause I know that I am strong!”  I’m strong.  Or stronger than I was!  Now I just need your warm embrace and loving home!  Ask for me, Friday, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350
