“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! Adoption Fee: $450

“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

Polly       Andy

“No ocean, no valley, no mountain too high;  No power on earth there’s no distance too wide!  No height or no depth could keep me from your love.  No failure no weakness no doubt in my mind!  No prison around me could keep you outside.  Nothing ever could separate us!”  Oh, she’s my girl.  Don’t make any mistake about that!  We were in a loving home but age and illness forced our owner to find us a new loving home.  But it has to be one loving home.  For both of us!  I’m Andy and this here is my gal, Polly.  I’m nine years old and Polly is seven years old.  We both have natural ears, docked tails.  I weigh about twenty-seven pounds and Polly is a fit eighteen pounds.  I’ve been known to be called Grumpy Grandpa…just because I’m a little set in my ways. I like to lounge around and just keep an eye on things.  Polly is much more playful.  She’s the scout, she gathers information and then she comes to tell me all about it.  I will play with her occasionally…but I much prefer her to just curl up with me in a dog bed for a little snuggling.  That’s my Polly!  Polly likes catch, tug of war and all that strenuous stuff.  She just won’t act her age!  Not me…Mr. calm and easy!  Polly is on the alpha side but she plays really sweet with both humans and other dogs. We’re such lovers, as our foster mom likes to say!  We both like to ‘love bite’ when we play…so it’s probably best if we don’t go to a home with small children.  We would never hurt anyone…but unlikely to change our habit!  I like my evenings and nighttime on a couch.  Polly likes the couch in the evening and a human bed in the evening.  Beware – she’s a bit of a bed hog.  And that’s why I’m good here on the couch!  A touch of fun, a bunch of love and a man that knows his place.  How does that sound so far?  ”Nothing I face can keep me from your love.  My treasure forever with you I belong!”  I belong with Polly.  And we both belong with YOU!  Ask for us, Polly & Andy, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $600 for both

“‘Cause I don’t wanna live like I don’t care;  I don’t wanna say another empty prayer.  Oh I refuse, to sit around and wait for someone else, to do what God has called me to do myself!  Oh I could choose not to move, but I refuse!”  I refuse to be without a loving forever home.  I’m on the move!  I’m working on my skills and letting my light shine!  Ready or not, here I come!  I’m Cisco and I’m a male, dark salt & pepper Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a natural tail.  I’m about four years old and I weigh about fifteen pounds. I’m a good boy and I’m very friendly.  I love my human friends and I also like my four-legged friends.  I play nicely and I like to show how excited I am to be out having fun.  Oh, a little barking never hurt anyone!  It’s just the newness of my loving foster home!  I like to follow my owner around and learn all there is to know about you!  I can sense when you’re reaching for a treat…and I’ll be right there!  Cow hoofs are great!  Two is awesome….one for now and one for….oh, I’ll have that one now too!  I know some basic commands.  Sit is easy.  I’m going to learn some harder ones now.  I think potential adopters will like that!  I’m crate trained and I’m house trained too.  I love the dog park and enjoy going on walks too.  I’m working on that whole leash training thing.  ”I refuse to make one more excuse ’cause I don’t wanna live like I don’t care.  I refuse!”  I’m on a roll and I’m waiting for you!  Ask for me, Cisco, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“He’d headed west ’cause he felt that a change would do him good;  See some old friends, good for the soul. She had been born with a face that would let her get her way;  He saw that face and he lost all control!  Night after night, day after day, it went on and on;  Then came that morning he woke up alone.  And those Hollywood nights;  In those Hollywood hills.  Above all the lights;  With a passion that kills.”  It seemed like it was going OK at the time.  And then one day, I woke up alone.  And I started a journey, wondering if I’d ever get home.  I’m Henry and I’m a male, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about two years old and I weigh about thirteen pounds.  My furnishings are almost back and I’ve got some great new pictures courtesy of Bark Out Loud Photography!  Watch out ladies!  I’m a young, extremely friendly guy with quite a bit of energy!  In addition to friendly, I’m also very sweet!  And loving too!  Very loving my foster mom says!  The ink is drying on my house training certificate and I am good about going into the crate.  But when the door opens back up, watch out people – I’m like a wild man heading for the hills.  Those Hollywood Hills!  On the couch.  Jump over the trash can.  It’s kind of funny really….but I recognize that it’s not really an activity that grows on you if you know what I mean!  Obedience training will help me with my excitement!  I just missed you!  Until I get that little business under control, it’s best if I go to an all adult home or a home with older children.  I might be a little too rambunctious for the youngest tots (but I really like kids…make no mistake about that!).  I like going for car rides too.  The dog park is my favorite destination!  I’m also good around other dogs.  I like to play and another dog to help me work off some energy would be a good thing.  A perfect home for me is with someone who’s active, enjoys walks or runs and who likes to teach trainable pets.  I’m not an apartment dog.  I’ve got the goods.  You’ve got the skills.  We’re a perfect match!  Ask for me, Henry, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“Wise men say only fools rush in;  But I can’t help falling in love with you.  Shall I stay?  Would it be a sin;  If I can’t help falling in love with you?  Like a river flows surely to the sea.  Darling so it goes;  Some things are meant to be!  Take my hand, take my whole life too.  For I can’t help falling in love with you!”  The love and fun of a forever home family.  That’s what I need.  That’s what I deserve!  I’m Sir Oliver and I’m a male, silver Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about two years old and I weigh about eighteen pounds.  I can be the life of the party as you can plainly see but, more than anything, I just enjoy being with my owners.   I love being in your lap or at your feet.   I’ve been tested around children and would do well in any home environment.  I get along great with my foster dogs and I don’t even mind the cat.  Ignore them….and they go away!  I like to play and run in the yard for my exercise.  I also love my walks and I am good at walking on a leash.  I’m still learning about my crate but it’s OK….I’m completely house trained!  I’m learning great manners and am also learning some of my basic commands.  By the time you get here, I’ll know to raise my paw, let’s shake and then let’s jump in the car and go to your forever home!  ”Some things are meant to be!  Take my hand, take my whole life too!  For I can’t help falling in love with you!”  Take my paw!  I love you already!  Ask for me, Sir Oliver, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450
