Bertie’s appointment went well, nothing bad was found and he was back home with Clare recovering from his sedation last night. His paw is sore but should be good once healed up from the flush out. Thanks for all your well wishes for this special, spirited chap 🧡

We have a beauty of an auction coming up. We’ll open for browsing in a few days time and for bids at 9am on Friday 31st July for one week only.

Bertie may need a sedation to look at a swelling in his foot - likely culprit a grass seed - he cannot cope with vets and if sedation is needed, he’ll have it. Our commitment to him is 💯thanks to your generous support for #Schnauzerfest 🙏🧡

😊 WHY PLAY OUR LOTTERY? The costs of Jade’s treatment was several thousand pounds, a Schnauzerfest Grant covered this for her rescue 🧡 By playing the #SchnauzerfestLottery you help more dogs and rescues get the help they need 🙏 Play 👉 buff.ly/h1B61kt

Restoring eyesight has always been an important part of Schnauzerfest’s work. Lowri knows this first-hand, ‘She’s doing well and thank you all for your support any paying for her cataract treatment. Here she is making sure we are going where she wants us to go, she is ace at navigating’ 😊👀🧡

PUPPY TRADE AWARENESS Did you know we started because our founder, Janetta Harvey, adopted a dog saved from a puppy farm in 2011. Years on and the puppy trade continues to cause immense suffering. Educating puppy buyers can and should be done by us all. www.schnauzerfest.org/puppy-farmin...

A Schnauzerfest Grant paid for ex-breeding dog Teddy’s cataract surgery. Sadly we received news this week from his family that Teddy died following a massive tumour. We know you’ll wish to join us in sending them love and condolences. Here he is in happier times with his late sister Daisy.

We 🧡🧡🧡 this. Penny and Betty sharing a quiet moment. Dogs bring a lot to our lives, much of it is in the quiet, shared times where nothing needs saying or doing. Just being.

Who doesn’t love a bit of unique glassware, or classy ceramics 🧡 Our next auction will be open for one week from 31st July and we’ll post the 🔗to take part in a few days time.

Polly is in long term foster care with Cavaliers In Need, with her medical costs supported by a Schnauzerfest Grant. It’s been a difficult few days, but everything is in place to help her get back on track. Thank you for making it possible to support rescues and the dogs like Polly who need it 🧡

When Kate adopted Mavis not a huge amount was known about her background. Starfish Dog Rescue provided everything she needed to set off on her new life with adopted sister Meggy. With very big thanks to Gilly and her Starfish team for helping dogs like Mavis.

A few days ago we shared Daisy’s story. She left a puppy farm almost blind & pregnant. 🧡 Here she is tonight at home, cataract surgery behind her, a sighted life ahead 🧡 She’s doing fine, isn’t keen on the drops, and is probably a little overwhelmed. We wonder what she must be thinking 🤔

And the third lovely small business that is forming our new fundraiser we will launch tomorrow is @SnufflesShop 🧡 One of the more recent businesses to jump onboard to help us with regular, generous donations from sales of their #Schnauzerfest range of products 🧡

Pebble & Pooch has been supporting #Schnauzerfest for a number of years donating regularly from sales of beautiful art as well as gifting many prizes. We’re excited to bring a new fundraiser to life which will support 3 small businesses as well as raising funds for the charity 🧡

We often think of mother dogs affected by bad breeding practices, sometimes forget the dads. They live isolated lives until it’s time to fulfil their role. Rufus was lucky enough to be rescued, was desperate for human affection, and now enjoys a free life with plenty of love. 🧡 #schnauzerfest

We have an amazing fundraiser we’re about to launch, based on mutual support for small businesses which help us. Moo Moo & Bear has been supporting Schnauzerfest since 2015. You might enjoy this, an interview with Janetta, during the challenges of COVID. www.moomooandbear.co.uk/blogs/moo-mo...

Paddy & Flossie would LOVE you to buy a Lottery ticket for Saturday's draw. They know how your support will mean great work happens for rescue dogs. You might also win £25,000! Tickets here 👉 buff.ly/3a5x30L
