“I’m sailing away;  Set an open course for the Virgin Sea.  ’Cause I’ve got to be free;  Free to face the life that’s ahead of me!  On board, I’m the captain;  So climb aboard!  We’ll search for tomorrow;  On every shore!  And I’ll try, oh Lord, I’ll try….to carry on!   We live happily forever;  So the story goes.  But somehow we missed out;  On the pot of gold.  But we’ll try, best that we can, to carry on!  Come sail away with me!”  It didn’t work out.  For whatever reason.  But I’m the captain and this ship is sailing forward….forward toward your forever home!  I’m Ronny and I’m a male, salt & pepper Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail. I’m about eighteen months old and I weigh about sixteen pounds.  I’m the kind of guy you want to have around.  Friendly.  Loving.  A gentleman.  Fun loving.  Playful.  Need I say more?  Oh yes…you want to know about that house training thing.  Well….rest easy!  I’m house trained too!  And I am OK in my crate….if you think I need it.  But you won’t.  I’m a curious guys and I love to sniff everything around me.  It’s so beautiful in a place where you are loved.  I want to sniff every corner of a place like that!  I like being outside and I also enjoy my walks.  I’m doing pretty well on my leash training exercises.  I also get along well with other dogs….but I can go to a home with or without another four-legged friend.  Do my skills make you want to sing?  Then you know the song!  ”Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads!”  Whether one, two or a whole family, let me sail to your forever home!  Ask for me, Ronny, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“Black is black;  I want my baby back!  It’s grey, it’s grey, since she went away.  What can I do, ’cause I’m feelin’ blue?  If I had my way, she’d be here today;  But she’d go in time and leave me to cry again, oh no!   Bad is bad, that I feel so sad.  It’s time;  it’s time that I felt peace of mind!  Black is black!”  I think it is time that I felt peace of mind….the peace of mind that comes from being in a true, loving forever home!  And that’s where you come in….turn my skies to blue!  I’m Ralf and I’m a male, black Miniature Schnauzer with cropped ears and a docked tail.  I’m about three years old and I weigh about sixteen pounds.  I’m friendly around both humans and other dogs.  I love other dogs actually!  It would be fun to have a playmate but I can go to a home by myself too.  I walk pretty well on a leash and always enjoy my walk.  Them there squirrels….I have to catch one!  I’m relatively calm and ride very well in a car.  I also do well being with you on the couch for evening cuddle time!  That is special time!  I’m crate trained and working on my house training skills.  Kind of tough to do that in a kennel….but soon I’ll be going to a foster home I hope!  ”Black is black!”  I want you to take me home….today!  Ask for me, Ralf, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

Note - with so many dogs coming to MSRH in this economy, we’ve exceeded our foster capacity.  Some dogs, like Ralf, are being boarded instead.  This makes it difficult to judge their personalities and skills accurately.  If you’d like to consider fostering Ralf, rather than adopting, we’d love to hear from you.

“It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone;  It’s not unusual to have fun with anyone.  But when I see you hanging about with anyone;  It’s not unusual to see me cry.  It’s not unusual to go out at any time;  But when I see you out and about it’s such a crime.  If you should ever want to be loved by anyone;  It’s not unusual, it happens every day….no matter what you say.  You find it happens all the time.  Love will never do what you want it to.  Why can’t this crazy love be mine?”  Crazy love.  A dog and his owner crazy in love.  That’s what I’m dreaming of!  I can be your ‘anyone’!!  I’m Marcel and I’m a male, white (really?  a beautiful apricot I think!) Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about three years old and I weigh about fifteen pounds.  I’m a super friendly guy and I love attention from my human friends.  I am also good with other dogs and enjoy play time….especially playtime outdoors!  I’m crate trained and working on house training skills.  Soon I’ll be in a foster home and then my skills will be evaluated appropriately.  I like cuddle time with my human.  I like being close to you!  ”But if I ever find that you’ve changed at anytime;  It’s not unusual to find out that I’m in love with you, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh!”  You know I’m the one!  You know I’m your ‘anyone’!  Now take the next step.  Ask for me, Marcel, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“Give me just a little more time and our love will surely grow!  Life’s too short to make a mistake;  Let’s think of each other and hesitate!  Young and impatient we may be;  There’s no need to act foolishly!  If we part, our hearts won’t forget it;  Years from now we’ll surely regret it!  Baby, give me just a little more time!”  It’s time!  It’s time for a loving forever home!  I’m Mathias and I came to MSRH with my brother Aleo.  We can be adopted together (he’s has a biography with the same song, different verse!) or separately.  I’m a male, salt & pepper Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about eighteen months old and I weigh about fourteen pounds.  I’m a sweet guy and obviously, since I have a brother, I get along with other dogs.  I mean….if you can get along with a sibling, you can get along with anyone!  I’m calm and do well riding in a car and with my grooming.  I’m easy….laid back….no trouble at all!  I like to play and have some puppy energy when I’m outside.  But being with you, cuddling on the couch, is a good thing too!  I’m crate trained and working hard on my house training skills.  I don’t need any more time….none at all….I’m ready for your forever home!  So with my brother or without, ask for me, Mathias, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“What the world needs now is love sweet love;  It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.  What the world needs now is love sweet love;  No not just for some but for everyone!  Lord, we dont need another meadow;  There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow.  There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine;  Oh listen Lord, if you want to know.  What the world needs now is love sweet love!”  Now let’s not make any mistakes.  A golden meadow and sunbeams and moonbeams are pretty cool too.  And I’d like that too.  But what I really want is LOVE – your love!  I’m Candy and I’m a female, salt & pepper Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail. I’m about four years old and I weigh about eleven pounds.  I’m a super sweet gal and I get a long with kids and adults.  I’ve been tested with five year olds and I’ve been great!  I’m an energetic dog when it’s playtime but I also enjoy casual cuddle time on the couch.  I love to play with my toys and will fetch them when you throw them.  I might even bring them back!  I like other dogs and I can go to a home with or without another four-legged friend to play with (I might like being your only friend best).  You and me on the couch is simply the best….and that’s what I’m really after.  I’m crate trained and completely house trained.  What more could you want?  Love?  I’ve got that and more!  ”What the world needs now, is love sweet love!”  Your love!  Now ask for me, Candy, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“Make them laugh, it comes so easy.  When you get to the part where you’re breaking my heart, hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown.  Wish you well, I cannot stay;  You deserve an award for the role that you played.  No more masquerade, you’re one lonely star.  I’ve always been in love with you;  I guess you’ve always known it’s true.  You took my love for granted.  The show is over, say goodbye!”  I’m saying goodbye to the past and hello to a future….in your loving forever home!  I’m Mindy and I’m a female, black Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.
