My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

OWNER PLACEMENT

ASSISTED BY SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS

Finnegan (SRC3255OP) called Finn for short is a Schnauzer- Terrier mix who has been with his current owner for two ( 2) years She adopted him from a local shelter and although she is no longer able to provide Finn( with the type of home that he should have, she does want to assure that he goes to a loving home where he will be incredibly happy. This affectionate boy is now nine ( 9) years old and weighs thirty-nine ( 39) pounds. Because he is part Schnauzer, Finn is a smart, sweet boy who is potty trained, knows numerous commands, does well on the leash and loves going on walks. Finn really likes to cuddle and to go for rides in the car, so he is an exceptionally good traveler. When Finn is left alone at home, he is well behaved and does not bother anything. Finn is medium to high energy, so he requires daily walks. This precious canine maintains a good temperament and really enjoys pleasing his human companion.

Finnegan has no health issues and is up to date on his immunizations. His owner will provide a copy of his immunizations when he is adopted. Finn prefers female humans, and it takes him longer to warm up to male human still he will warm up to men who have a gentle personality. His owner was not given proof of this still she believes that Finn has a history of being abused since he will flinch if you touch him without letting him know first and that might be why he prefers women to men. The owner believes that it was a man that abused him since Finn warms to women much more quickly than to men. Finn will naturally warm up to men after he is allowed to spend time with them, and eventually he will even snuggle with men also. Finn is alright with older children. Since SRC has a firm policy not to adopt to families with children who are under the age of ten (10) years old, Finn’s adoptive family must not have children younger than ten ( 10) years of age.

Finn loves going to doggy day care and enjoys it quite a bit. He doesn’t do as well with canines on a one-on-one basis so a meet and greet would be necessary to ensure that both canines do well together When his current human companion adopted Finn, he was being fostered along with an older dog, and they got along very well. Finn has not been around cats so it is not certain how he would do around felines. It would be best if he was not placed in a home that had felines . During the two (2) years that this human companion has had him with her, Finn has made tremendous progress with his training and obedience. It suits Finn very well to have a stable environment and a routine which he can depend on He genuinely adores cuddling and will return this affection abundantly. His current human companion is having health issues, or she would never consider placing him in another home. She loves Finn enough to assure him the stability and constant affection that she is currently unable to provide him with. This is making it difficult for her to walk him and provide him with the time and energy which Finn needs to receive proper care. She loves him enough to ensure that he receives that care even though this means she must find him another loving home. Finn has so much love to give so he deserves a human companion who can give him the love and care he should always have!

His human companion wants to make certain that he goes to a loving home although this is an extremely hard decision for her. Finn has an abundance of love to give! His current human companion will provide his new adoptive family with information about all his needs and desires. She will answer any questions that his new family may want to know so that they may be most comfortable welcoming him to his new home. Please provide a completed application, recent vet records if there are any, and photos of their current home and where Finn would be sleeping once he is adopted. Finn is not an outdoor dog although he does enjoy spending time with his human(s) while together they play or simply spend time outdoors with him.

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.

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.

Go meet their pets

SRC requires a completed adoption application as part of our approval process which also includes a vet and an informal home visit done after your application is submitted to our Placement Team for their review. Our approval process is conducted professionally and as quickly as possible.

SRC works diligently to match the right dogs with the appropriate forever homes -- there is a Volunteer Intake Coordinator that specifically works with this assignment to assure that our adoptions are successful and happy ones. All SRC members are volunteers and are unpaid for their services so that financial donations may go to the medical needs of our rescued dogs.

Applicant's specific questions will be answered as soon as the approval process is concluded. Contact is arranged with the rescue dog's foster parents after approval is received so that approved applicants may have any questions answered about the dog of their choice. Everything that is known about each dog is written into their bio and these bios are updated frequently.

SRC also provides guidance for new adoptive parents upon request and is thoroughly committed to their worthy mission. Each dog in our care receives a thorough vet exam, de-worming, necessary vaccines, spay/neuter, micro-chip, and any medical needs addressed as necessary by our vet prior to being placed in loving SRC foster care for evaluation of a minimum of two weeks. The two week requirement assures that each foster family will be able to give the adoptive family a better idea of the demeanor of their new family companion when he or she is adopted.

A tax deductible donation according to the age of the canine adopted will be requested shortly before the time of the adoption of your selected rescue. This is NOT the purchase of a pet, this is a donation for the medical needs of future incoming rescues and is therefore helping needy canines that might otherwise perish without your assistance..

More about this rescue

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.
