Rescue FAQs

Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas, Inc. (SRC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization -- all of our adoption donations go toward helping care for other rescued Schnauzers and Honorary Schnauzers in need of medical care. We are a group of volunteers whose area of operation is within the areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Eastern Tennessee. We also adopt only to people located in those specific areas. SRC does not adopt outside of those specific areas so please do not request a waiver.. This non-profit organization's sole purpose is to prevent cruelty of animals specifically canines by rescuing them and securing loving, permanent homes for displaced Miniature, Standard and Giant Schnauzers plus Honorary Schnauzers when room allows. SRC also works to help educate the public about their breed traits, health and nutritional needs to assure their future health and happiness. We also emphasize the importance of spay/neuter and micro-chipping to protect the health and security of your beloved canines. SRC works diligently to educate the public as to the importance of good dental care in extending the life expectancy of their dog's healthy lifespan. Federal Tax Id #27-0061326 SRC applied for incorporation on June 18, 2003 and was approved by the N.C. Secretary of State on July 8, 2003. N.C. Charitable Solicitation License # SL009656 "Financial information about this organization and a copy of its license are available from the State Solicitation Licensing Branch at 919-807-2214 . The license is not an endorsement by the State." SRC fosters each one of our rescued canines in a loving family environment and spends many personal hours working with them to ensure that they are ready (both physically and emotionally) to move into his or her new forever home when adopted. Every rescued canine spends a minimum of two weeks in their foster home before being released for adoption. This evaluation allows the foster parent to give the new family a very good idea about the demeanor of their newly adopted dog, and better prepares them to understand what to expect when taking their new family companion home. Each SRC dog is vetted by an SRC approved vet. Each dog is given a thorough examination, de-wormed, given all necessary vaccinations, spayed/neutered, micro-chipped and provided any other medical procedures deemed necessary by our vet ( such as dentals, ear cleaning, nail trim, etc.) The micro-chip is done for their future safety prior to being adopted from our custody and SRC remains secondary after the adoptive parents have the dog's micro-chip registered in their in their name by SRC. In this way SRC is able to help should the canine become lost or stolen and the adoptive parents are not available, SRC would be able to claim the dog and hold them until we could contact the adoptive parents. SRC is committed to the full lifetime happiness and welfare of each rescued canine that comes into our safe haven whether it is a Mini, Standard, Giant, or "Honorary" Schnauzer. As of June, 2021, Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas, Inc. will have been in operation as reputable and successful rescue organization for eighteen(18) years Our nonprofit organization has placed well at least 5000 Schnauzers and "Honorary" Schnauzers plus made a large number of referrals that resulted in saving the lives of many worthy canines. In fact, our organization has even placed about 14 Felines with courtesy listings and even one Parrot, so our worthy mission is alive and well. We are most grateful to all those generous and dedicated volunteers who have put in so many long hours and have asked nothing in return except that these animals live well,be happy and flourish! Bless them all. Should you want to join our SRC family and help to save needy rescued canines, we are always looking for more volunteers. Also please keep in mind that our foster parents are given the first option to adopt their fostered canines before they are offered to other applicants. Please email the SRC Core Team for a volunteer application at one of these email addresses: adoptions@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org OR srcinfo@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org and one will be sent to you right away. These may now be downloaded directly from our website for your convenience.
SRC serves the areas of North and South Carolina, all of Virginia, and Eastern Tennessee for the adoption of Mini Schnauzers, Standard Schnauzers and Giant Schnauzers. SRC does not ship any of its dogs, so all adopters must be prepared to come to our area to pick their adopted canine up.

Additional adoption info

Please download an application from our website to begin this adoption process. Our approval process is done as quickly as possible by our Placement Team. The length of the approval process depends on the number of applications in process and also your location in relation to volunteers available to conduct a home visit report efficiently. You may secure an adoption application which may be downloaded from the Home Page of our website, or requested by email from our Placement Team @ our email address which is adoptions@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org .

Once the completed application is reviewed and accepted, a vet reference and an informal home visit are conducted, both of which must be satisfactory. If your vet reference is not satisfactory, a home visit will not be conducted. (During COVID, PHOTOS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR REQUIRED -- NO HOME VISIT) Phone interview will replace Home visit. After all these procedures are completed and the reports are compiled, if everything is satisfactory you will be notified of your approval and put in touch with the foster parent of the dogs you are interested in so that you may ask questions about those dogs. If your situation fits well with the dog you select, then someone with our Core Team will help you finalize the adoption which will include a donation made in honor of the adoption of this canine. You are not purchasing a dog but helping the next incoming rescue with its medical needs and this is a tax deductible donation if you itemize.An adoption contract must also be signed and returned. Once your paperwork is completed and your donation is made then you may make arrangements to pick up your dog! This process does not take more than two weeks at the most as long as we are able to get a home visit scheduled in your location.
