RUBERT (OP_3123) FLORIDA - SCHNAUZER / MINIATURE SCHNAUZER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Schnauzer / Miniature Schnauzer (short coat). Adoption Fee: 250. OWNER PLACEMENT (954) 914-6696 ASSISTED BY SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS I cannot tell you what my original name was because my first owners only called me by that name when they yelled at me, so I stayed out of their way without wasting time to listen. I cannot understand why they got me from the shelter because by doing that, they removed my opportunity to have a loving home! When I was young and full of hope, these people came to get me, and said they would provide me with a wonderful home. Our ideas of "wonderful" differed considerably because with them I was lucky to get fed at least one meal a day and eventually even that stopped. Later they moved away and forgot to take me with them. I got so hungry and so lonely--so much for their idea of "wonderful". Obviously I would have to find it for myself, so I began to follow people hoping they would see my need and give me love and food; yet they all ignored my desperate needs so my ribs began to show more and more every day.... then just as I was ready to give up completely, my Angel appeared! Her eyes teared up when she saw how pitiful I was; still she knew that she had no room for me -- yet she could not leave me behind. Suddenly she let me ride in her car, which I loved and then we went to visit a nice vet. The vet told her that I had heart problems which would need medication and that I also had something called heartworms. From the look on the vet's face I knew that she would leave me behind, yet my Angel just hugged me and made certain I got the medication I needed. She told me on the way home that she would find me a loving home because she already had animals who lived with her, but that she would never abandon me the way my first family did. Suddenly I could relax because I believed her. My Angel named me RUBERT, and gave me my medication regularly. When I am adopted she is going to provide the necessary medication for my adoptive family to continue it so that I will be well cared for. When she looks at me, I know everything is going to be alright. I weigh about 20 pounds now and I am no more than 8 years old. I am primarily white in color, very friendly and LOVE affection. I know my life is going to be so much better from now on. I already feel so much better and am looking forward to meeting my new adoptive family. Just know that I will be the best buddy anyone could ask for. I already know how to walk on a leash, and I have a halter that comes with me. I love to go for car rides, or just lie beside my person while they read or watch TV. I like going for walks yet I do have to be relatively calm since I do have a grade 3 heart murmur. With that heart murmur and heartworms, I am not able to be neutered or have a dental until I am doing better. Right now, it it thought that the slow kill method will be best for the heartworms. Once I am all better, then other things may be considered.
