Taffy

taffy-1     taffy-2

From ‘The Courage To Change’ (Al-Anon):  “There is an innocence within me that already knows how to trust my Higher Power, to cherish life while holding it lightly, to live fully and simply in the present moment. I will allow that part of myself to come forward and nourish me as I continue on this journey.”  In your forever home, YOU are my Higher Power and I just want to live fully and simply in forever happiness there!  I’m Taffy and I’m a female, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about two years old and I weigh fourteen pounds.  I’m on a journey and I have a ways to go but my foster mom is helping me with all the essentials - crate training, house training and my manners!  I like the way she teaches me and I’m going to do my very best!  And just wait till my furnishings grow back - I’ll be beautiful!  I get so excited when I’m around my human friends….and I just love children!  I’d love a forever home where there are children about!  I also get along with other dogs, though nothing compares to my love for humans!  I bet you have the perfect home that can help me continue on my journey.  Invest in the trip….you won’t be disappointed in the destination!  Ask for me, Taffy, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

Kayla

kayla-1

Rachel Carson said, “A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement.  It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.”  And that’s exactly why I never want to grow up - and why I love children!  I’m Kayla and I’m a female, black Schnauzer mix with natural ears and a natural tail.  I’m about two years old and I weigh about twenty-two pounds.  I’m  doggy door trained, crate trained and house trained too!  In addition to being good with children, I’m also good with other dogs too!  I just want to stay young and happy because, as someone once said, “The end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us!”  I’d love to be astonished by your forever home!  Ask for me, Kayla, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

Randolph

randy-1

Dale Carnegie shares the story of an old man who was asked what had robbed him of joy in his life.  The man’s reply was, ‘things that never happened.’  Well, things that never happen is not something you’ll worry about with me in your forever home!  I’m an ‘action man’!  I’m Randolph, but my foster family calls me Randy.  I’m a male, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about 18 months old, with lots of puppy energy, and I weigh a skinny sixteen pounds (but mom’s working on that….can you say ‘treats’?!!  With these deer-like legs, I am super fast!  I love to run and play and I get along well with other dogs.  Fetch is one of my favorite things to do and I love all my toys!  I’m doggy door trained, crate trained and house trained too!  Because of my puppy energy and the fact that I still like to jump and give you puppy love bites, I’d be best ina home without young children.  I’d like an active, adult home that likes to go on walks or likes to visit the dog parks!  As Napoleon Hill once said, “Action is the real measure of intelligence.”  And if that’s the case, I’m the smartest dog in the whole world!  Ask for me, Randolph, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

Hank

hank-1

“I think Superman’s journey is to become comfortable on earth.  Of course he’s got his role as the earth’s greatest protector but he also wants to be as happy as he can and if that happens to be with Lois then he’s going to find a way.”  I’m Hank and I’m your Superman - your protector!  Lois is synonymous with your adult forever home - and I’m going to find a way to get there so I can be happy!  I’m a black, male Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about three years old and I weigh twenty-three pounds.  My foster mom says I’m Superman sweet but I must be properly introduced to strangers given my protector role.  I would probably do best in a home without children.  I’m also Superman smart and I already know some of my basic commands.  I’m crate trained and house trained (with a doggy door) too.  I’m also strong and Superman handsome.  I’d love to have a confident pack leader and, in return, I’ll give you all my love.  And this Superman has a lot of love!!  If you want a loving protector in your home, ask for me, Superman Hank, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

Colby

colby-1     colby-2

“So long, I’ve been looking so hard, I’ve been waiting too long.  Sometimes I don’t know what I will find, I only know it’s a matter of time.  When you love someone….it feels so right, so warm and true;  I need to know if you feel it too!”  I’m Colby and I’m a lovable kind of guy!  I’ve been looking all over for you - my forever home - even in the dishwasher!  I’m a male, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about two years old and I weigh about fourteen pounds.  I’m the sweetest thing and I’m really good with other dogs.  I’m also really good with kids!  I’m crate trained and house trained too!  I also know how to use the doggy door!  “This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure!”  It’s only a matter of time.  Is now the time?!!  Ask for me, Colby, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

Smokey Joe

“It’s hard to believe that there’s nobody out there;  It’s hard to believe that I’m all alone.  At least I have her love - the city - she loves me.  Lonely as I am, together we cry.”  I’m Smokey Joe and I’m a male, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about five years old and I weigh seventeen pounds.  I’m crate trained and house trained.  It would be fun to play all day!  I love to play tug of war - my favorite!  I’d also like a home with a garden hose.  That thing is so cool!  I love to chase the water and try to get a drink from the hose!  My only peculiar thing is that I hate the washer and dryer!  When that thing is running, I’m running for cover!  “I don’t ever wanna feel like I did that day;  Take me to the place I love, take me all the way!”  I don’t want to be “Under The Bridge”.  The place I love and the place I want to be is in your forever home!  So ask for me, Smokey Joe, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

Dudley

Charles Dudley Warner once said, “Broad acres are a patent of nobility; and no man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is 4000 miles deep; and that is a very handsome property.”  I’ll say.  I’d like to call your backyard my own!  It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, I’ll take it!  My name is Dudley and I’m a male, white Schnauzer.  My hair has grown back and I’m now the handsome gentleman that I promised I would be!  I’ve got cropped ears and a docked tail.  I’m about eight years old and I weigh fifteen pounds.  I am doggy door trained, crate trained and I’m also house trained too - certificate on file!!  My foster mom is a great trainer!  She also says I’m very sweet and that I’m a perfect gentleman.  I love to be held!  Charles Dudley Warner also said, “It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.”  So let’s just play that out.  You help me by filling out your MSRH adoption application and asking for me, Dudley!  I’ll help you by being the forever pal you’ve always dreamed about!  I can’t wait!  Adoption Fee:  $250

Rodney

rodney-4     rodney-3          

I tell ya, I just don’t get any respect.  My owners turned me over to MSRH.  They said “he went on the paper four times…..three times while we were reading it”!  Then they said, “we should have called him Egypt ’cause in every room he leaves a pyramid”.  What??!!  I’m house-trained!!  And I can use a doggie door!!  I tell ya, if I had known they’d say that about me, my favorite bone would have been their arm!!  Oh, I’m just kidding…..except about the owner surrender part.  I was a funny guy….what wasn’t to like about me?!  I’m a salt & pepper, male Miniature Schnauzer with cropped ears and a docked tail.  I’m between five and seven years old and I weigh 18 pounds.  And I’m HOUSE TRAINED!  My foster mom says I’m very sweet and that I play well with other dogs.  Want a funny man in your life?  Ask for me, Rodney, on your MSRH application!  Adoption Fee:  $250

Tiger

tiger-1     tiger-2     tiger-after-grooming-7

Let’s start by getting a few things straight!  I’m not an outstanding golfer.  But I am an outstanding Schnauzer!  I’ve never cheated on my wife.  In fact, I’ve never been married!  And I’m not hiding out in some clinic in Mississippi!  No, I’m right here with MSRH, waiting for you to take me to your forever home!  I came from Louisiana and that’s how I got my name Tiger - after the LSU Tigers….a much more positive reference at the moment!  I’m a white, male Schnauzer with cropped ears and a docked tail.  I’m about four years old and I weigh seventeen pounds.  I’m crate trained (just tell me to go the kennel and I’ll be on my way!) and I’m completely house trained.  I’m so trustworthy, my foster dad lets me sleep on the human bed with him and my foster siblings!  I’m very sweet and I’m good around other dogs and proven myself to be friendly around children.  I love to go on walks and enjoy rides in the car too!  Where you go, I’ll go too!  So if you want a tiger in your life - one that’s a real role-model kind of guy - just ask for me, Tiger, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350.
