Kimmie Sue came to MSRH thru the SPCA and a puppymill bust — Sherry Eitel, Kimmie’s Schnauzer Angel, picked her up and took her to PRAH — the other 4 went to another vet — Kimmie had hematomas in both ears due to severe ear infections and ear mites — This had to be surgically corrected. She also got spay. Kimmie was so thin, you could count her ribs from across the room. Five days after coming home for foster care to recouperate, she got sick — One week to the day, from her first trip to PRAH, she went again. They could not hear anything in her chest so started the barium series of xrays. The very first xray showed an infection in her lungs. It appeared to be fungal. She was on IV’s for about 10 days — and was nebulized starting with day 3. She came home still be neubulized and thinner than the first time. She started taking an antifungal medicine by mouth. Six weeks later, another xray — the medicine had not gotten rid of the fungal infection — so Dr Dayton did some investigation and found another med - given by IV that was supposed to be very successful in treating this type of fungus. Kimmie was a trooper and had this for 3 weeks — 3 x a week — by now she feels like a pin cushion!! She will get xrayed on May 2 and again in 3 weeks — we hope and pray that she will be rid of this awful infection, but if not, we may have to go to a specialist.

Kimmie’s vetting is approx $4000 .

The other 4 minis also had to be treated for lung infections, but thankfully theirs were bacterial — also one was heartworm positive.

MSRH needs to raise approx $8000 to help cover the cost of all this critical care. If you can help Kimmie and the others, they will forever be grateful.

My name is Kirby. I am two years old and my birthday is February 14th. I have had all of my shots, a microchip and have been neutered.
My foster mom calls me the miracle Schnauzer as after I had been neutered, they found out that I had been hit by a car and my diaphragm had split. I was in pretty bad shape. Dr. Dayton at Parker Road Animal Hospital operated on me and now I am like brand new!!!! He said I was very lucky as very few dogs survive with their diaphragm split. I have learned to use a doggy door and have very few accidents in the house. I may still need a little guidance, but I am really smart and try really hard. I am crate trained and I also love to sit in my foster mom’s lap. I have natural ears and a beautiful natural tail.

If you would like a lap baby, please ask for Kirby on your application.

This is Bee-Bop. Bee-Bop is a 2 year old, very energetic male schnauzer that has his natural ears but a cropped tail. He is house trained; gets along great with other animals, and LOVES being around people. He is good at riding around in cars and is currently being taught to walk on a leash.

Unfortunately, Bee-Bop’s parents got ill and had to give him up. I think he would be great in a household with children because he loves the attention. If you are looking for a very easing going dog Bee-Bop is the guy.

Hello,

My name is Maggie Jane. I am a precious S/P Schnauzer girl with natural ears and a docked tail. I am 10 months old, my birthday is June 6, 2007 and I weigh 16 pounds.

There are three words that best describe me … SWEET, LOVING and GENTLE. I have lots of puppy energy, am full of curiosity and just a real loving sweetheart. I am at a perfect age for training and am learning the basic commands of sit and stay. I can walk on a leash and am almost housetrained.

I am NOT crated and never want to be; I love sleeping in the big bed with my foster mom, I am a great cuddlier.

I like playing with my Schnauzers friends so it would be nice to have a 4-legged companion to keep me company. I love my squeaky toys and also enjoy riding in the car.

If you are an experienced pet owner with time and patience, remember I am still a puppy, than please ask for me when filling out the adoption application. No children under 10 years please.

Love,

Maggie
