Angel, Millie and Dolly
When Angel, Millie and Dolly left their breeder and arrived in rescue they were in a state of neglect. Their coats were filthy and matted, their mouths were full of rotten teeth and infection. It was clear no care had been given to them while they were making puppies for a lucrative, poorly regulated market.
Nellie and her puppies
Cilla
Puff and Pickles
Puff and Pickles are breeding dogs but unlike many from the industry left it relatively unscathed as far as their minds and bodies go. Unusually, they are happy in human company and neither appear to have physical health problems. Supporting their rescue with routine vet costs to prepare them for adoption is the role of Schnauzerfest.

Betty
At approximately 5 years old, Betty’s life as a breeding dog has been hard. The lives of breeding dogs are mentally and physically abusive. Repeated pregnancies take a terrible toll on their bodies. Lack of human contact and living in an environment where it is all about surivival, leaves dogs like Betty with deep rooted, sometimes irreparable, trauma.
