A collegue of mine seeks a home for mini-schnauzers. Her note follows:

  One of our emeritus faculty members entered assisted living on December
19th. As part of her agreement to go, my mother and I said we would take her
two little schnauzers, Strudel and Hugo. They are cute and starting to grow
on us but mother, who is 83, and I already have two very large standard
poodles. No matter what we try the four dogs do not seem to like each other.
Well, that's putting it very gently. It is just too much for us to keep all
the dogs apart and I need to find Strudel and Hugo a new home or homes. We
tried this for a month put sadly have failed.

  I am in desperate need to find a foster home. I say foster because the
original owner will pay for all food, health care, and all other expenses
related to the dogs for as long as they live. They have had good health care
and all their shots, etc. Strudel will be 12 in May and Hugo will be 11.
While they could live another five years, being little dogs, it is unlikely
if I have to take them to Schnauzer rescue that anyone will really want
them. It is so sad to be old and unwanted.

These two can go together or separately to a home where there are no other
dogs (well, Hugo could go anywhere, I think, but Strudel needs to be alone
or with Hugo) and someone can love them in their elderly years. I am afraid
they are not feeling very loved in the house with the monster poodles. They
are house trained, do not chew furniture or the like, come when called, and
enjoy patting and cuddling - especially Strudel! I dearly wish I could keep
them. I feel terrible, but we just don't seem to be making this work. If
anyone is out there who would like a little companion who is just looking
for love and affection this is your cost-free chance.
