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.
We first saw Griffin’s picture on MSRH’s adoption page in early 2011 and agreed that Griffin could be “the one”. In 2011 we were living in Tucson Arizona and drove to Houston to hopefully find and adopt Griffin. Griffin had been with MSRH for a long time as he had to be treated for heart worm after he was found on “Griffin Street” in Houston. Near death Griffin survived and recovered in a loving foster home and was in an MSRH sponsored boarding kennel but sort of forgotten as he was not first shown to us. In fact we had to show the kennel staff Griffin’s picture and request to see him. But as soon as we did meet and greet each other we indeed knew Griffin was for us “the one” and immediately we committed him to be in our/his forever home.
Griffin is our perfect companion who has consistently made our lives complete. Three and half years ago we moved to Austin where Griffin has easily adapted to his new home and community that includes his favorite vet, groomer and yard areas. Griffin thrives on a daily routine schedule that includes at least 2 walks, 2 meals, and loves play time with his toys and family car rides. Griffin is always content to just be with us so this year we would be content to have Griffin on the MSRH 2019 CALENDAR COVER. Together let’s vote for Griffin.
