I adopted two Mini-Schnauzers from a Rescue Group. I wanted a dog, but when I saw these two online it said that they had to be adopted together. I didn’t hesitate for a minute except over the adoption fee. It was a little more than I had intended to pay. But Daphne and Gunthur had to be mine. The rescue sent someone to check out my home and me. I was approved and I drove to another state to see them at their foster home. They both immediately jumped up on my lap and gave me lots of kisses! It was weird because I took a friend with me, but they ignored her altogether! lol I adopted them that day. They were both 9 years old. They both had been neglected. Their teeth were in bad shape, they hadn’t been groomed. Daphne had skin problems. In no time, we had all that fixed. They were the sweetest, smartest little animals I have ever met. They came at a time when I really needed them. I would advise everyone to adopt an older pet if you can. They are usually house-trained and probably will have training for walking, etc. You’ll never regret it!
