Story
Grizzy is a little over a year old. He literally is the sweetest dog. House trained very gentle and energetic. But also lazy. The reason I’m having to find him a new home is he keeps getting out and plucking the neighbors chickens. He doesn’t hurt them just likes to play.

Story
PB for Pretty Boy. He was a stray. He was found to be shot with a BB gun, abused and scared of sharp noises and quick movements. He is extremely skittish and will run when frightened. He will need a secure fenced yard! As being retired we have gotten to know him well. He is house broken. He is not a barker. He won't bark outside even when he hears other dogs. We had him nurtured so it wouldn't be a stressful with going to a new home. He would do best in a calm home. He has no training for commands nor vocabulary He has never shown any aggression. I can put my hand in his food bowl. He would do well in a calm home. A military veteran could take advantage of free obedience training. He gets along with dogs, cats and people if they behave. He has never growled or shown his teeth. He is looking for love, trust and a fun environment. His potty breaks are approximately 12 hours apart. He is satisfied during the day inside with a bone to keep him amused. No regrets with this sweet dog!

Story
Luna is a black and white mixed breed dog. She was abandoned on a friends property. We took her until we could find her a home and were unable to find her a home. We got her shots for her and in the meantime attempted training her to blend with our family the best that we can. I just had a brand new baby this year. And she has shown aggressive behaviors towards my youngest son. She does not do well with other dogs either. We have cats and she attacks them as well. We don’t want to put her down and no one has been available to take her in. We’ve even tried humane societies and they’ve been all full. We’ve been having to keep her confined in a separate space in our home away from our children and we have to rehome her soon or we will have to take her to animal control as this arrangement is no longer feasible.she is great one on one with adults. She has anxiety issues and is very high needs.please let me know if she would be a nice fit for you.

Story
OWNER PLACEMENT ASSISTED BY SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS BOWEN (ORSRC#2196) and BENTLEY (ORSRC#2195) are Mini Schnauzers were adopted by a loving family who now has the responsibility of caring for their elderly parents. This means the loving family can no longer provide the love and attention that these Mini brothers deserve. Because they love Bentley and Bowen so much, they have decided it  is best  to find them another loving adoptive home so SRC has agreed to assist by posting an Owner Placement.  Both Minis are approximately 6 years old and weigh approximately 19-20 pounds.  Bentley is a dark salt and pepper while Bowen is a light-colored salt and pepper.  These neutered males are very bonded with one another, and it is  important  that they be adopted together. Both dogs did go to a doggie day care some time ago and they got along well with other dogs according to the family.  They like staying at home together and are happy together so there will be no consideration of separating them.  There are personal items that will come with these canines, so please check with SRC prior to purchasing items for them. They should be adopted into a home that has no other dogs so that they will receive ample attention since they are used to being given a lot of love and attention. They have been kept on heartworm preventative and the last time they were tested they were both negative. According to the family, Bentley has had a dental cleaning and Bowen, when examined, did not require one.  The family says that the dogs have been healthy with no issues to date. They are being fed Hill's diet to keep them healthy and a small amount of this food will be made available to the adoptive parents when they adopt these Minis. SRC is posting them for the family so that they may be placed with another loving family who is knowledgeable about the Schnauzer breed.  All vetting for the first 6 months for the dogs when they are adopted will receive a tax letter from SRC (copies of receipts provided for the total will be necessary). The family states that both Bowen and Bentley are very friendly and love older children.  They do not care for cats and should be placed in a home that does not have cats or other dogs.  They have not been around other dogs so it is hard to say how they would relate to a dog that is already in the household.  Like a typical Schnauzer, both dogs will chase rabbits and squirrels. Bentley and Bowen have very little leash training, so a fenced yard will be necessary.  They are said to be housebroken yet they prefer being inside as much as possible rather than outside.  They are crate trained and enjoy sleeping in their crate together.  Both Minis love to cuddle and really enjoy petting. They really enjoy playing with their toys and will play fetch with them – returning them when they are thrown. Approved applicants may arrange a visit to meet Bentley and Bowen.  The final decision as to who adopts these precious boys will be up to the family that is placing them for adoption. Since their vetting will need to be brought up to date, an economical donation is requested.  In addition to this donation, a tax letter will be provided for all vet expenses  during the first 6 months (copies of receipts required).     THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED AT: OWNER'S RESIDENCE, HICKORY, NC THE DONATION BEING REQUESTED IN HONOR OF THE ADOPTON IS: $400 TOTAL_____ Please submit a completed adoption application and with that application, submit vet records for any pets you have had within the last 5 years along with photos of your residence including the yard (including the fencing).  The owner of this Schnauzer will review all approved applications and documentation that SRC sends to them.  They will contact you to ask questions and to answer any questions you may have.  At that point if a meet and greet has been scheduled, an adoption contract will be sent to you which you must sign and return to SRC.  If the meet and greet goes well, your donation of $       (tax deductible)  may be made online so that the release of the Schnauzer may happen.  SRC will notify the owner of this Schnauzer when the donation is completed so that they may release the Schnauzer to their new adoptive home.  SRC will register his/her micro-chip in the new adoptive parents’ name(s) at no additional charge.October 11, 2024, 12:50 pm
