Greetings.... Schnauzer Rescue Volunteers and Sponsors,

| Scooby and Jazzy |
Wow.......how things have changed at the Days'
house since we made contact with the Schnauzer Rescue. To explain, we lost our
little ten year old Schnauzer a few months ago, due to liver disease and had
planned to purchase a new puppy. We contacted numerous breeders from newspaper ads and online
but did not have a good feeling that any of them were reputable breeders, so we
decided to take our time and maybe not even have another dog. After a few
weeks, my older son visited with his rescue Shepherd and recommended we check out a rescue
instead of dealing with a potential backyard breeder. I had never considered a rescue because I
assumed "rescue dogs" had too many issues and would be too difficult to
train..... WAS I EVER WRONG!
When we contacted Schnauzer Rescue website,
we immediately knew we would be adopting a rescue dog and completed the
application. We first adopted Scooby, a healthy six year old who came with a
heartbreaking story and a massive scar on his back to prove it. Scooby is the
best mannered, best trained and smartest dog I have ever seen but there are days
when he seems lonesome. Through our discussions with Kathy Lewellyn, we decided
to adopt another Schnauzer (a friend for Scooby), and thus Jazzy ( a 10 month
old fireball) became ours, four weeks later. Jazzy loves her new home and our
"cerebral palsy" handicapped son especially; she sits on his lap and plays with
him as if she understands he is handicapped. Scooby and Jazzy really.....really
like walks, car rides and playing in the fenced backyard with just about any
toy....they are an awesome pair.
We are blessed to have met such nice people as those
that volunteer for Schnauzer Rescue (especially the Lewellyns) and to have two
such wonderful new family members.
