Well, she'd been found by a riverside park, fur matted, filthy, fish-hooks entangled therein almost embedding her skin. She's approached me before-and after-a mini-typhoon-so I took her in. Thought she was a fisherman's dog, found out, homeless.
But don't know exactly her plight. Groomed her, got her a check-up. Placed her with my other two mixes, lacking in space otherwise. Beautiful dog, soft bark. BUT SCARED TO TAKE WALKS!!
I can't get her to take a step on a leash! Whoever had her before me apparently coddled her, perhaps even just used her for breeding, then dumped her. Her teats are always bulging, her teeth rancid, and apparently, she's around 8 years old.
I just hope she's a schnauzer. She couldn've had-as she's now groomed-those drooping mustauches, long tufts around her paws, is grey-black and white. But I'm not sure if she's this breed. Nonetheless, she's a purebred.
How someone can be so cruel as to dump a purebred, accustomed to human comfort, in a riverside park, is pathetic. I therefore have her, but need help in getting her out of her shell, back to normalcy. Also, any info about schnauzer care, temperament, etc., would be very appreciated.
