Here's what the humans have to say about me:
PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE APPLYING!
Reesie is a 4-year-old gray female miniature schnauzer looking for her forever family in PA, DE, MD, VA, or DC. She is 16 lbs. She is microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm/Lyme tested, and spayed.
She is a sweet, barky, playful, active, adult visitor friendly, lapdog/cuddler, and loves getting lots of attention. Reesie loves to bark a lot. She spends her time following her foster around everywhere in the home or barking at people and dogs she sees out the window. She likes to walk at a face pace on the leash and does pull when barking. She does not play with toys. She is house-trained and crate trained.
Reesie was originally adopted by a family from a shelter and had come into the shelter as a stray. She was adopted by a family with 5 children and another mini schnauzer. Unfortunately, she gets overly excited with younger children and lots of activity in the home and then acts out aggressively with other pets or nips at the younger children. She also has jealousy issues with other dogs.
Due to Reesie’s background, she is looking to be the only pet in the home, which is an adult only single family home with a fenced yard.
If you would like to be considered to adopt Reesie, you must first apply. Please contact schnauzerrescue@outlook.com for our rescue's adoption application. Please be sure to keep a watch on your Spam and Junk folders if you don't see a response in your email inbox. If you've already applied, please contact schnauzerrescue@outlook.com to be added to the list of those being considered.
Rescue Schnauzers usually weigh between 15-25 pounds, they are up to date on shots, heartworm/Lyme tested and spayed/neutered prior to placement. We make reasonable efforts to evaluate the health and temperament of each dog, however we cannot make any guarantees.
We are not a shelter and do not have a central facility to visit our rescue schnauzers. All dogs are kept in foster homes located throughout the area we cover. PLEASE NOTE: We rescue schnauzers in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. We can only accept applications from these areas. For a rescue contact in other areas, please go to our website http://www.schnauzerrescue.net and click on Rescue Links. We have a need for volunteers in Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
Our website features lots of great information about the rescue process, book reviews and training tips. You can donate to Reesie's care at http://schnauzerrescue.net/Donate.htm via PayPal or check. All donations go to the veterinary fund and are tax deductible as a charitable contribution. Thanks for your support!
