I have been a part of the New Jersey Schnauzer Rescue, doing transports and fostering after adopting my first rescue, Peanut in 1999. A few years ago, I was asked to go to Pennsylvania to get a dog that could not be cared for. Her owner was elderly and went into a nursing home. Missy was a young salt and pepper Schnauzer so full of energy. I brought her home and she knew exactly how to warm her way into our hearts. She never left! I adopted her within the month. Missy somehow knew that this was her forever home! She loved her new family. She plays out in the yard with her sister Chloe(the silver bullet) and bullies her older rescued brother Shermie(17 years old). Chloe was the only one not knowing what it was like to be given up. We got her as a puppy. Missy loves to go for walks with her family and loves riding in the car and along with my other dogs, know,this is the best family they have ever owned. I am truly amazed how dogs can transfer their love so quickly to a new family. Even though I do not foster any longer due to lack of room, I still do volunteer work along with my daughter at The Animal Orphanage in Voorhees, New Jersey, where they have all breeds of dogs in the shelter. I love working with the dogs!
