Miniature Schnauzer puppies and dogs in Magnolia, New Jersey

We have a transport trip we are personally taking our dogs on leaving from SoCal to PA and all surrounding states. We would love to add Ayla to our trip for the right family! Travel costs will be in addition to her adoption fee to help aleviate the total travel costs in coming all the way to the east coast and back. Meet Ayla. She is a purebred miniature schnauzer. She is salt and pepper in color. She weighs aprox 13 lbs. but is not yet full grown as she is 7.5 months of age. She is currently at a very healthy weight ❤️ Yes, her tail is docked as I know it's a question we get all the time for this particular breed! She is set to be spayed on 8/20/24 and once we have her exact weight, it'll be updated. She will be spayed, current on all vaccines, microchipped, and thourely examined and cleared by our vet prior to adoption. If anything is needed such as a dental cleaning, etc. it will be done as our vet will want her to be 100 percent prior to releasing her. She is house trained, and understands outside to potty. She is crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night, and will nap in there during the day as well. She is working on leash confidence as it's still pretty new to her, but will master it in time 💕 She is wonderful with all dogs, and cats alike. She is very sweet, and outgoing when it comes to other animals as she just wants to be their friend. She is NOT a barker; but will talk to you on occasion and will alert you of unfamiliar noises sometimes as she is more on watch to see what friends, human or not, are there to visit her. She is very smart, aims to please, and is always ready to take on the day whether it's lounging around the house, a road trip around town, or to be by your side while you are tending to things around the home or yard. She loves to play, and loves chasing balls. She is very easy going, loving, and playful. She is AMAZING in the car, so if you are looking for a companion road side, she is definitely your girl. Loves being in your lap, or at your feet when she can, but is very versatile and independent outiside of you and will simply lay in her crate or play with a fave toy near by. She is not needy, by any means. She truly is EASY in almost every way and will make an incredible friend to someone ❤️❤️❤️ She loves her spa days with our groomer as well, so that's always a fun day for her 💓 Her adoption fee will be on our website under her adoption listing at breadoflifek9refuge.org. It will cover her spay, vaccines, microchip/registration, general anesthesia, exam with our vet, time, care, grooming costs, and training since with us. If anything in addition is needed at time of spay such as a dental cleaning, extractions, in-heat spay, or so forth then additional fees will be added to help offset those costs.

URGENT! CHECKER DESPERATELY IS STILL LOOKING FOR A HERO! COULD THAT BE YOU?! Checker was tossed out of a car in Chester Media, PA area -Mini Schnauzer mix ?! -approximately 2 years old, about 14 lbs. -playful and loves to go for walks -he loves car rides Most likely abused and neglected, Checker was seen being tossed out of a car in Chester - Please share for this poor boy! Checker is a young, playful pup. He is learning to trust humans and will seek lots of love and attention once he is comfortable. He really likes to be with his people. Checker has done well with other dogs his size that are energetic and playful and that will correct his puppy behavior. He has also done well with larger dogs that are tolerant of some of his puppy shenanigans. Checker’s ideal home is one without children and a someone who has dog experience. He does NOT share food and has bitten twice over food. This is completely manageable by feeding him alone. He is not thrilled with being crated and seems to have some trauma regarding the crate. However, he does well when he is crated next to another dog! He will bark constantly and seems scared when approached in a crate if not crated near another dog. He does well confined to a room. When confining, he needs a tall gate or door because he is a great jumper. He loves to be in bed with his people and will settle down and snooze after some goofiness, rolling around in the bed. Please let us know if an experienced foster or forever home is willing to help this sweet boy overcome his trauma and have some patience with him. Checker has a lot of love to give and needs to learn to trust and have some confidence. Please contact Christine at christine@therescueexpress.org if anyone can help. Thank you for sharing! The Rescue Express is a 501c3 non- profit rescue registered in Garnet Valley, PA. Our kennel license number is 6285.

Handi is being fostered in VA. Fifteen-year-old Handi was left at a Pennsylvania shelter in April 2024 by her owners; there was suspicion of cruelty/neglect, and her owners admitted they could no longer take care of her. Handi soon came to her Virginia Blind Dog Rescue foster home. Now Handi is looking for someone who is ready to step up to give her the very best chapter of her life! Please read on if you think this might be you. Handi hopes so! Handi is a beautiful, low-key, 7-pound Schnauzer/Yorkie mix who sees and hears very little. She has been in her foster home since April. When she first arrived, she did not seem to have an understanding of housetraining and what to do when taken outside. Her foster parents put her on a schedule of going out every 2 to 3 hours, and, within a month, she was doing such a great job. Then, about a month ago, she began to have accidents in the house again even though she is on the same routine. Her foster parents suspect possible cognitive decline as Handi also tends to wander aimlessly at times and to be uncertain about where she is. Handi ignores the other dogs in her foster home and also ignores the cat. She spends most of her time napping. When she is up and wandering around, if she bumps into another dog or if a dog bumps into her, she doesn’t mind a bit. Handi is not happy, though, with sudden movements made by people, particularly with people she does not know. When she first arrived in her foster home, she was a bit snappy when being handled but her foster parents soon learned to go very slowly and consistently let her first sniff their hand and then, when she was alert, she would get a pat on the head and then could easily be picked up; she has been just fine with this. At the vet, because procedures there tend to be intrusive and sometimes painful, she can be snappy. Handi sleeps quietly through the night in an indoor pen and, in fact, hardly makes a sound even during the day! She has briefly barked only a few times. She enjoys attention when she gets it but is also happy to nap. She is starting to seek out her foster mom and is very glad to nap in a bed beside her foster mom. She does well in the car; she is typically tethered in the back seat. She may wander back and forth and then will relax. She does tend to tremble a lot, though, in a variety of situations, but does not seem overly bothered by car rides. She needs to be carried up and down any and all steps. There are many good things to say about Handi and her health, especially considering she is an older pup! These things include: -a dental was completed in May and her two lower canines were removed. She only has three teeth left (three small ones on the lower left side) which are in good shape. She eats soft food only. She LOVES to eat! -the shelter detected a Grade I-II heart murmur but, prior to her dental surgery, her ECG was sent to a cardiologist and no heart concerns were noted, including no murmur. -her eyes are currently stable; she has bilateral cataracts. -ears are clear -no luxating patellas (these are very common with small dogs but two vets have checked her legs and found her kneecaps intact at this time) -she is heartworm negative Handi does have some medical issues. These include: -history of IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia) in 2012, pyometra in 2014, and significant liver disease in 2021. All this was prior to Handi coming to BDRA, and was on documentation the Pennsylvania shelter received on Handi from her former owners. None of these prior medical concerns is a concern at this time for Handi except that very occasionally she may vomit. Her liver values from April were only slightly elevated and she is on no treatment at this time. Her current vet recommends rechecking her liver values periodically. -a tendency to rapidly extend her left hind leg (and occasionally her right). Sometimes this causes Handi to fall, and sometimes she cannot stand back up. X-rays revealed no concern besides minor arthritis so there could possibly be a neurological or spinal component causing this. She is now on Galliprant once a day, and that has worked very well so far in controlling this problem. It still does occur about once or twice a week. -low grade mammary carcinoma with suspected lymphatic invasion. Because of Handi’s age, the rescue has decided not to pursue chemotherapy for Handi but will ensure she remains comfortable. Currently she is comfortable and she has no symptoms. Likely symptoms of concern would include coughing and other breathing issues. Anyone seriously interested in adopting Handi should share this information with their vet and they can also receive a copy of her vet records with more details. BDRA wants to be sure any potential adopter is fully informed about Handi’s current health. Also, any adopter should understand that BDRA cannot predict future medical needs for Handi or any dog. Handi has not spent time around children and would not be a candidate to be adopted into a home with young children. She would likely be easily startled by young children who often move quickly and unpredictably, and in those cases she may be snappy. Handi is looking for someone who loves senior dogs and who wants to focus on giving her the best life which she so deserves in her older age. She will reward that person with her gentle love and will be a great companion on the sofa or in a lap. If you think you can provide Handi the forever home she wants you to apply today! BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
