Flash is handsome cattle dog/shepherd mix looking for his forever home.
Flash was found running on the streets with no tags or chip. He is healthy, has been neutered and given all his shots. He is a good boy who wants to please and gets along well with other dogs - don’t know about cats. He is ready for his permanent forever home. He is going to be a big boy weighing in at 54 lbs now so we expect he will put on another 10 to 20 lbs before he is full grown. He needs a gentle alpha owner committed to a minimum of basic training with follow-up training as needed. We will only place him with someone who has extensive puppy and large dog experience.
Sadie is a 7 year old female Miniature Schnauzer.
Sadie is an extremely sweet girl and gets along well with other dogs. She’s a big girl for a mini schnauzer weighing 22 pounds…but is 100% pure love.
06/01/2010 UPDATE: At Sadie’s vet visit of 5/3/2010 we found she had a bladder stone and required surgery for its removal. Sadie had surgery on 5/17/2010 to remove the bladder stone as well as removing a fatty lump and having a dental done on her. On 5/28/2010, Sadie had an adverse auto immune reaction to her recent bladder stone surgery… requiring emergency surgery to remove blood clots from her bladder and a 4 day hospital stay to stablize her. We thought we were going to lose her but she is now healing. Subsequent blood work shows Sadie is almost ready to go home! Her medical expenses to date are $2600. Any contribution towards her vet bills will be greatly appreciated.
If you’re interested in Sadie, please contact Miniature Schnauzers and Friends!!!
Fletcher is a 10 year old Miniature Schnauzer who is yet again looking for his forever home. Will that home be yours?
He was adopted several months later into what MSFR thought was a permanent, loving and committed home. As unbelievable as it is, it breaks our hearts that almost 5 years later Fletcher finds himself homeless again because his adopters are retiring and chose to move to a place that does not allow dogs. Poor Fletcher deserves so much more than this in his golden years. We hope to find someone with a big enough heart for an older fellow that has had his share of hard times. Fletcher needs a FOREVER home this time! He’s a gentle soul that wants nothing more than a loving and committed family.
Adoption is a lifetime commitment!
Fletcher should be a reminder to us all… please do not adopt unless you can make a commitment for the animal’s entire lifetime.
Mercedes is a very sweet little puppy girl! Her approximate date of birth is 2/10/10
She was one of four puppies that were dumped at a high kill shelter because their owner had “too many dogs”. We believe Mercedes and her siblings are the result of a backyard breeder’s litter that were the “left overs”.
Sleeping Mercedes-this photo was taken at a fundraiser for MSFR where there were many dogs and people. She was mellow the entire time!
NOTE: Mercedes was diagnosed with a mild heart murmur. Ultrasound showed she has mild Pulmonary Stenosis. Dr. Michael Lesser a Cardiologist of Advanced Veterinary Care Center examined her and did an ultrasound. He determined her case was very mild and that no surgery or medical intervention was required. Dr. Lesser said it’s very likely that she’ll have a normal life expectancy without ever needing any medical intervention for her heart. But he did say she should have another ultrasound at 1 year old. For more information on Pulmonary Stenosis, click HERE.
Just an update: we are changing our Foster Dog of the Month program to “Foster Dog Spot Light”. All of the same benefits apply to any new clients that adopt one of the “Spot Light” dogs from Miniature Schnauzers and Friends. To learn those benefits, please read HERE. The “Foster Dog Spot Light” program was created to give exposure to foster dogs that are having a difficult time getting adopting, whether they be senior dogs, behavior challenges and/or health concerns. All “Spot Light” dogs will be introduced via BocMeow’s blog in addition to all updates on each “Spot Light” dog. If you’d like more information on Miniature Schnauzers and Friends Rescue, please check out their website or send them an email.

Travis is my name and getting adopted is my game!
He was rescued from a high kill shelter where he came in as a stray. Travis was passed up by the public because he was mess as far as his appearance went. He had some skin issues which now appears to be mostly cleared up. Travis is good with other dogs. He’s a little too vocal for apartment dwelling. Travis a small male at approximately 14 pounds.

My name is Shay. Will you be the lucky one to take me home?
He is very active and enjoys playing with other dogs. He is gentle and quiet for the most part as long as he gets plenty of exercise. Shay was rescued off the streets in north Gardena.
An ideal home for Shay has to include a spacious yard with secure and high fencing. He hates to be confined, and if he feels trapped, he will make every attempt to escape. He will also try to escape if he gets bored and lonely. He would be happiest living with another high-energy dog that he can play and bond with. Shay will need to be housetrained. Obedience training is highly recommended. Shay is approximately 45 pounds.

My name is Jasmine. I recently had surgery for hip dysplasia. I am only 1 years old! Please read my story to see if I'm the right girl for you!!!
He’s not your typical duck. He’s my duck 
and he’s a part of my family.
Shannon Benecke, owner of BocMeow Pet Care with her feathered kid, Klaus von Duckers.
His friend’s name is Reiki. I know that Reiki is his friend because that’s what he told Animal Communicator Janet Roper.
You see, in September 2009, Duckers was attacked by a dog. The dog bit a part of his bill off. The vet said Duckers would be be okay, but I knew that he was in pain.
