Please provide a paragraph that tells voters something fun or interesting about the Miniature Schnauzer in the photo. Was your dog adopted/rescued from MSRH or from another organization? Tell us something special about your fur baby that you want to share with the voting audience.
Griffin was rescued from MSRH and lived in Tucson, AZ until April 2015. Now living in Austin, Griffin continues to be a very energetic and especially devoted one family friend. Griffin takes his job as our protector seriously and as a contact sleeper sleeps soundly between us like he doesn't have a care in the world. Regardless of weather conditions, Griffin loves his daily walks, is always ready to car travel in his special safety seat and runs through the house with boundless enthusiasm toward his parents whenever they return home. Unable to contain himself Griffin will resort to ears flapping, tail wagging and face licking at the mere 2 minutes of absence and return of his devoted Dad.
We are so grateful to Marilyn for being Griffin's foster parent during his recovery from heart worm disease. Marilyn helped save Griffin so that he could be our constant nurturing forever companion .
