  Speaker 1: a Schnauzer, a very big schnauzer. So this is a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: full size, yeah schnauzer.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: We think she's a giant Schnauzer. The people who surrendered
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: her said she was standard, but she's about seventy five pounds,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: so she's a big girl.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, Shadow is her name.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, and she's a she's now her she's been all
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: her hair has been all cuts.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: It not like a schnauzer.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she got kind of a funny haircut, so she
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: can kind of look like a little bit of a
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: doodle right now. She was just shaved all the way down.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Usually they leave a little bit of fur on their
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: face and they have those cute beards. But you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: fur grows, so it'll.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It'll grow in the beard. Now what are so Schnauzers are?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And Shadow is available for adoption right this very minute.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as soon as our doors open at eleven am,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you can come down and meet her.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: So, so Schnauzers are interesting dogs. They were what were
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: they bred for originally?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're originally bred for guardian or herding dogs.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: So they are very good at protecting people. They like
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to know what's going on. Then they became popular with
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: like police work and guard breeds kind of in Europe.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: So you know, they're not the breed for everyone. You
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: want to do your research.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: She like hiking or jogging or your active outdoors, she
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: probably would enjoy that.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she would love that. And you know she loves
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to lean on you and be right by your side,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: so she did. She'd be a great protection, you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: just to have that around if you're hiking alone on
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the trails.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And you can tell that she's very alert. Yes, I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: mean it's like I've got to keep everything. I want
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to know what everything where, everything is at every moment.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yep, she knows her every person in the room is so.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: But you know, she previously lived with other dogs and
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: was around children, and we were told she did well
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: with them. At the shelters, she's been participating in playgroups
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: with other dogs and has done well, you know, And
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: she's a little bit nervous side, but you know that's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to be expected in the shelter environment.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: And you can and and if you are any good
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: at training a dog, this is this would be perfect.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, because I assume she's very trainable.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she would love to expand her repertoire. She
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: knows sit in a couple of other things, but she
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: does pull on the leash a bit, and she is
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a strong girl. Yeah, so you know, I'm used to
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I own large dogs and she can give me a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: little bit of a pull on my feet. So you
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you know she'll want to work on that in her
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: new home.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there no settle down.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's getting Yeah, it's it's a Shadow And you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: can adopt Shadow right now.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: And there are plenty of other dogs who adopt with

• 3:03
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars. She's about a year and a
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: half old, so you can find out all that information online.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: It's how long how long has she been in the shelter.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You know, she has been with us since the middle
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of June, and then she did get adopted and then
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: return because it wasn't the right fit. They thought she
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: was a little too big for them, which is you know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: can understandable if you're expecting a standard size and end
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: up with the giant. So, but she is full grown.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: She's not going to get too much bigger than this.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: She also wants to speak into the mic, don't Yeah, so,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: but she's very affectionate. She's going to love her. People
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: whoever takes her home in bonds with her. So we're
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: just hoping that'll happen soon.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It's I mean, this is a great dog. If I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: had any it would just it would be too much
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: for me, you know.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: But if you're like specifically, if you're a woman who
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: likes to be outside exercising and its shadowed, be a
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: great opinion.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you don't mind a dog who's in
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: your personal space. I mean, like I said, she loves
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to be right up against your legs and keep an
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: eye on you, so you'll never be alone.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And then uh if and the adoption fees are really small, right, yeah,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: so hers is one hundred and fifty dollars.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: But you know she comes Spade microchip, she has age
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: appropriate vaccinations, she's been dewormed, so really she's set to go.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Shadow, and does does she respond to the name Shadow?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: You know she does? But dogs they'll learn new names
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: real quick.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You don't have the name, you could take the dog
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and name a name, name or Schnauzer.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can name her whatever you want.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Portense I like Schnauzers, fourtense, like fortense. I like Schnauzers
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: because the little, the small ones, and they look like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: little old men with their little beards miniatures now, so
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they look kind of like me is now that I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: think about it, little old men.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Schnauzer Bill, name.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Am Schnauzer Bill.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a tattoo that says that you talk human, Gwen.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Let's see if we can get Shadow adopted today, that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: would be really great. Let us know, well, do we
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: have a We have a video on our Instagram and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Facebook of Shadow if you want to see, and there's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a perfect shot over right now at X ninety six
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: dot com slash live. You can see that she's really
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a magnificent dog.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: But while we're talking about your pets. Maybe because we
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: have a couple seconds it's so hot.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's very Please be.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Careful with your animals outside. Maybe you can talk about.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: That just a little bit.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Don't leave them in cars. Cars, you know, even within
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: minutes with the windows cracked in the shade, can get
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: over one hundred degrees. You can, you know, put a
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: dog in real bad distress. Walking your dog in the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: heat of the day. Sidewalks, even if it's not asphalt,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: they heat up and convern pop heads. Yes, you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: so just avoid the heat heat of the day with
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: your animals.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Those Do those little booties work or are they worth it?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Well, the problem with them is is dogs sweat through
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: their paws. It's actually the only place they can sweat
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: besides panting, and so you're actually heating up their paws
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: by having them wear those. So yes, they protect them
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: from the heat, but then you're also causing them to
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: overheat at the same time.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: So probably not not a good idea. Not a good idea.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: To the go where there's grass. Yes, well, thank you Shadow.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Nice to see you again, Gwen. Nice to see you Shadow.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having us.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: The best of luck.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I know you'll find a home Shadow, I know you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: will all right.
• 6:25
