With Alfie resting up, Bea got to have a treat yesterday, she had a road trip with her friends and got to see her foster mum. It was a mini impromptu Schnauzerfest in the field. @schnauzerfest.bsky.social #Schnauzergang

Alfie has been going through a very tough time with chronic pancreatitis and pneumonia. But we got the call from the referral vets we have been praying for, today he comes home. #schnauzergang #shnauzer #rescuedof #dogsofbluesky #Schnauzerfest

We had great fun at Surrey Hills Schnauzerfest walk today. Bea is flat out dreaming of every smell and schnauzer she encountered.

We really enjoyed #traitors #celebritytraitors. Bea knew who they were, and growls when she hears them on screen. We hope she starts predicting the lottery numbers next. #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs @oficialthetraitors.bsky.social

Little is better than a Sunny Autumn day walk says Bea and I agree

What a truly unique and beautiful prize, such a generous donation and a unique change to own such a very special item. Please share an enter. UK only

What an awesome afternoon @bemorebob.bsky.social, a superb charity event for @schnauzerfest.bsky.social , with lots of lovely dogs and their humans, and I got to meet @hugoandhuman.bsky.social

@hugoandhuman.bsky.social it was lovely to meet you today and Hugo, Bea and Alfie send their love.

Alfie and Bea are fuming! They got to circle Cheltenham in the car while I got to have a sneaky meet and greet with Bob @BeMoreBob before Woofternoon Tea tomorrow. Will I be forgiven? @bemorebob.bsky.social. #SchnauzerfestUK 45 Winchcombe Street, Cheltenham, GL52 2NN.

Wonderful happiness in Bristol today and Nev’s first experience of Schnauzerfest. Thanks Hannah for supporting and 📸

Surrey Hills Schnauzerfest followed by Woofternoon tea today was thoroughly enjoyed by humans and dogs. Thank-you to everyone who supports the charity, talking about Schnauzerfest, wearing items from our shop, eating the cakes made and donating so generously.

Streatham Common this morning. We think the Schnauzers were ready for the walk while the humans were fuelling up on coffee and cake.

Bea is conserving her energy for the Dorset #SchnauzerfestUK walk tomorrow.

#SchauzerfestUK dogs are not the best at hide and seek. But don’t tell Alfie -he is a trier!

It’s been a while since we held an October raffle. It's the most exciting month when, since 2014 schnauzers and friends are walking, raising money and awareness. With the milestone of raising one million pounds since 2014 within reach, it'll be fantastic if it happens in October. So a raffle it is!

We’re shipping pre-orders now aiming for all to arrive by tend of Oct. It’s a huge task 🙂so don’t worry if yours takes a while. Buying the calendar helps our funds greatly as all costs are covered by private donors. They’re available from our website while stocks last www.schnauzerfest.org/shop

Our TEXT donate is an easy way to send support 🧡 Small amounts really do collectively make a big difference. The default donation for a text to 70085 with the word SFEST is £5 but it's possible to make a donation for any amount between £1 to £20. 🧡 Thank you Schnauzerfesters for caring.

Bea, Alfie & friends finding out their holiday rental #Oasis had a hidden gate leading out onto the dunes and beach. Here come the happy dogs #rescuedogs #schnauzergang #dogs

A paddle, a frozen yoghurt and a snooze in the shade, just perfect 😍 #holidays #France #Schnauzergang #rescuedogs

I am blessed I got to rescue Alfie then Bea. They are loving their holiday in France and their happiness is infectious. #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #Schnauzer #rescuedogs #holiday

A bear at the shops? - what ever next! #schnauzergang #rescuedog #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Rescue dogs, particularly those that have been used for breeding, can struggle with doorways and tight spaces. Bea is slowly conquering her fears. #schnauzerfest #schnauzergang #rescuedogs

After a busy day out, it was time to chill out on the sofa.

This made me smile, from a bleak to a beautiful life. Bea relishes her freedom, far from the stable where she was used to produce litter after litter, It is a joy to watch her loving life #Schnauzerfest #Schnauzergang

Bea’s photo shoot is was interrupted by Alfie. Bea loves a dramatic exit..#schnauzergang #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky

Bea had a bath yesterday, she made sure she is back to her happy scruffy self on today’s walk. She had a good roll in the mud and leaves. Oh Bea! If she is happy we are :-) #schnauzergang #rescuedogs #dogsofbluesky #schnauzer #dogs

Alfie has never loved the car but sits quietly, Bea uses every trip to recharge so she is ready to go when the doors open on her next adventure. #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs #dogs

Happy weekend to you all. Yesterday was a beach day for Alfie and Bea #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #dogs

Rosie's Last Litter Prize Draw is open. 7 prizes, the draw will be after 7pm in 7 days time. Any amount you can donate, small, or large gets you in the draw. The prizes can be seen on the link if you scroll through. Thank you for your support!

It's incredibly busy and we can do nothing without your incredible support. February's grants helped a lot of dogs get vet treatment they needed. March is shaping up to be more of the same! We can only say yes to helping because you raise the money which becomes Schnauzerfest Grants. Thank you!

Rosie’s 7 pups arrived a couple of hours ago. All are doing ok 🤞 Her last litter, born into comfort and love. We’ll bring ways you can support us helping her rescue later today. All costs are being covered by a Schnauzerfest Grant. Your help is needed 🙏

Alfie was told he could choose anything he wanted at the pet shop after being a good boy at the vet. He chose a Hamster but the terms and conditions were read to him and he settled for a bag of dental sticks! Oh Alfie!
