Breed: Miniature Schnauzer

Issues: We adopted Stubby from Memphis Animal Shelter on March 26, 2002 and he was about 1 year old at the time. Up until a couple of years ago, Stubby loved to ride in the car but for some reason he now gets nervous and starts panting as soon as we pull out of the driveway. We are not sure what happened to start this habit.

Interests: Stubby loves to run and play in the back yard with his fur-sister, Sheila. He is a great watchdog and his favorite place in the house is the front window. He always alerts his family when another dog, cat, child or UPS truck is close to the house.

Breed: Miniature Schnauzer

Issues: Sheila is about 5 years old and lived the first years of her life in a cage at a horrible puppy mill. The puppy mill was in New Albany, MS and was raided on May 21, 2008. There was 180+ small dogs in 70-80 cages and some of the dogs were pregnant. Sheila was one of them. After her babies were adopted, she was put up for adoption by Tupelo (MS) Animal Shelter. On August 8, 2008 I pulled her from the shelter to foster her for Schnauzer Love Rescue but she stole my heart and we officially adopted her on Thanksgiving Day, 2008.

Quirks: When Sheila first came to our home, she was not socialized at all and was terrified of everything. She had to be taught how to go in and out of the back door, jump on chairs and to do lots of things that comes natural to dogs who have not lived in a cage all of their lives. She still barks at my husband a lot - apparently because she was abused by a man at the puppy mill. She gets nervous when it thunders and is terrified of firecrackers and other loud noises.

Interests: Sheila loves to play with her fur-brother, Stubby. They chase each other in the back yard and play tug-a-war with toys.

Breed: Westipoo

Issues: Lucy is a "barker"... quiet when we're home alone but barks at anyone or anything that comes near the house. Also while we're walking, she barks at larger dogs which is quite often.... and she barks at people hoping to get a "pet" out of them which she usually does, but her barking is obviously annoying to most people even if they do bend down to pet her. Lucy is petrified during thunderstorms... she barks and runs frantically around the house... it's very difficult calming her down... I've added valerian drops to her water when I know a storm is coming but she's not herself until the thunder and lightning stops.

Interests: Loves her toys, especially stuffed ones and soft balls that we play soccer with. She hits them with her nose and I hit them back to her. She also likes to watch certain TV shows with me, especially the Westminster Dog Show and the NFL SuperBowl

Other: Lucy is litter-box trained. As soon as she does her poops, she comes to get me to clean it out and she gets a piece of cheese as reward. The few times that I overlook the soaked pellets and Lucy has to "go", she will stand outside the powder room door (which is always left open for her), and she makes little grunting sounds until I clean it out. I guess I trained her well but she's a character.

Breed: Bearded Collie/Great Dane Mix

Issues: Irene was thrown out of a car in the middle of a busy intersection in Ohio when she was 3 months old. We think it is because she is deaf...born deaf (probably didn't pay attention to the people. Because she is deaf, she gets a little agitated around strange dogs.

Quirks: Irene the Queen has huge, hairy paws; she looks like a Clydesdale. She slaps me with her big paws when she wants her cookies. Also she absolutely INSISTS on sleeping on our king size bed with us. She's not very graceful and makes us laugh with her "clownish" mannerisms.

Interests: Irene loves her older brother, Fredi, Jr. (Bearded/Border Collie mix). In fact, she follows him and does exactly as he does...so it was easy to train her as a deaf dog. But she also knows sign language. She is very dependent and won't let us out of her sight. In the winter, she rides in the golf cart with us at our Arizona home. She also is fascinated with the bunnies that live in our neighborhood. In the summer at our home in central Oregon, she enjoys boat rides on the river and many walks in the wood. And she loves to chase the squirrels.

Interests: Puzzle balls, walking, chasing tennis balls and trying to "control all the other dogs" when she thinks they are not doing something correctly. They just pay her no mind.
