Pumpkin joins Pippa in foster care with Clare and crew. She’s the latest dog your donations are supporting. For rescues the costs of providing essential medical treatment are one of their biggest pressures. Schnauzerfest Grants provide a vital financial lifeline for many every year. Thank you 🧡

Last week we were asked to help this traumatised dog. Pippa’s story is sad and difficult, for her and the people who asked for help. She was bought from an online selling site, it was soon apparent all was not as described, she’s clearly been badly treated, likely from a breeding situation.

Happy Saturday pals! I’m starting my journey back from my Grandma’s this morning 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚘🛣️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Instead of showing you a pic of how sad I look to be leaving my Grandma, here’s me posing at the top of Inverfarigaig yesterday. 🧡 #SchnauzerGang #DogsofBluesky #RoadTrip

I was in the UK last weekend on the @schnauzerfest.bsky.social stall at All About Dogs. I love all dogs, schnauzers of course, but I very nearly adopted a staffie back in 2011 when Susie-Belle popped into my life. LOVE them & was very happy to meet many last weekend. We don’t see many here 🇫🇷

At Lowri's recent 3 month post-cataract operation check up she got a glowing report. Her family say, "Please thank everyone one on Lowri’s and our behalf for supporting her and all the other little schnauzers that Schnauzerfest supports" When you support Schnauzerfest you make good things happen!

If you missed us at All About Dogs here’s a few words on how it went … ⬇️ www.schnauzerfest.org/news-updates...

It’s that time of year again when we start work on the iconic Schnauzerfest Calendar. We will open for your entries soon, check out social media and your inbox for further announcements 😊

When dogs leave poor breeding situations (aka puppy farms) their memories and trauma don’t vanish overnight. The industry harms dogs physically and emotionally. With the right help they go on to enjoy their new lives 🧡 When you support Schnauzerfest you give dogs this chance, thank you 🥰

Happy Friday pals, another afternoon Forest walk for me today. Hope you all have a great weekend ahead of you. I’ll be reporting in again tomorrow with my Forest adventures. 🧡 #SchnauzerGang #DogsofBluesky

Sweet, shy Ember’s visit to the ophthalmologist went well & showed the uveitis is much better following the last few weeks of treatment. Her eyes are complex, she has limited vision and is a long term foster dog with all costs supported by a Schnauzerfest Grant, which you make possible 🧡

A simply brilliant amount, we cannot thank you enough 🧡 The winner will be emailed in the next few days so check your inboxes (and SPAM). And a big thank you to Sheila for creating and donating the beautiful item.

The best way to get your Schnauzerfest news is having our newsletters arrive in your inbox - sign up, it’s free and means you’ll never miss a thing 🙂 buff.ly/CZsVS6S

Isn’t he gorgeous 🧡 Winston’s loving life a few weeks after cataract surgery. Without your help it wouldn’t have happened, ‘I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, to know the true impact of what you did for one woman and her dog, I hope you know how special you are’ 🧡Schnauzerfest

We’re all set up for tomorrow at All About Dogs and are delighted to be joined by Dean Bostock who, all weekend will be donating his time and skills so you can have photo portraits of your dogs. Like this, of Higgins, taken today as a test run 😊 Come & see us, we’re there all weekend.

A few weeks on from eye removal and Carlo’s doing brilliantly. He’s adjusting to the change and back to enjoying walks with his sister Molly 🧡 Thank you for helping this very special chap, before his adoption his life was terrible in the breeding industry. Now it is full of love and kindness.

We have an amazing auction coming up of original art, limited edition prints, signed by the artist. Annabel’s art features in books, much of our merchandise, our Christmas cards and is always hugely popular. This will be a rare chance to obtain signed prints. Details will be released next week 😊

Lenny, one of many dogs who know the kindness and generosity of Schnauzerfesters 🧡 His life was complicated before Debbi took him in and helped him work through a lot of difficulties. Your support for the charity means his medical costs are covered as needed, securing him a safe, loving future 🧡
