Welcome to The Little Schnauzery

We are an Arizona Schnauzer Rescue foster home with two parents, three kids, a schnauzer and most of the time a foster dog. Read about the rescued dogs and our experiences with them in this blog.
Please consider adopting or fostering a rescued schnauzer.

Changes

Returned from a week of work out of town to some BIG changes!

Travis is gone now, adopted by a family he was very happy to meet. Here the girls say goodbye to an awesome foster dog.
Below Travis is all fancied up and on his way to meet his new home.
Bye Trav, we love you!!!

Millie has also moved on to a new foster home. She made good progress while she was here. At first she was fearful of all of us but after a few days she turned into my Velcro dog. Anywhere I went, there was little Millie. She also loved the treadmill. She would do a slow pace for a good 30 minute. She moved to a new foster home that can help her continue to strengthen her legs and increase agility.
Millie has been replaced by another female named Simone. Simone has amazing coloring! She ruled the roost and needs to learn some manners and then she will be a beautiful, perfect family dog.

The other change is that while I was gone my wife adopted a new schnauzer for our very own. A GIANT schnauzer. She is 10 months old and we have not named her yet.

Mila

Mila was our first female schnauzer from AZ rescue. The kids were so excited to finally have a cute little girl schnauzer! She came to us a bit shaggy, but we could tell she had great coloring.

Mila had a great personality. She was always so excited to see us and be with us. She would do her "Mila happy dance" every time I came home from work. She was the first one there when I came in the door, doing her body-wiggle.
She was in good health and in good shape and was house broken and did well at nighttime. Her coat was shiny and very silver/gray once we got her cleaned up and trimmed down.

The only downside was that she was a bit "bossy" and liked to bark too much. She liked kids and people, but was very weary of other dogs. We worked with Mila quite a bit on her excessive barking and made good progress.

Mila was adopted by a great couple who fell in love with her right away (and vise-versa). I missed this one for a while after she left. I had grown attached to her "welcome home" dance and cuddling. We later saw her at the schnauzer picnic and she did her dance for each of us! We love it when we see our old foster dogs and they recognized us.


A bit random, but here I am trimming Obi's nails. We use a Dremmel. He doesn't like it.
