Adopting a Schnauzer

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Schnauzer - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost to adopt a Standard Schnauzer from a shelter or rescue organization typically ranges from $150 to $400 and includes vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and a basic health exam. This is a much lower fee than the average cost to purchase a Standard Schnauzer from a breeder, which can range between $700 and $2,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Standard Schnauzer is through a rescue that specializes in the breed. Occasionally, you can find them at local shelters and rescues with no breed specializations. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Standard Schnauzers in your area.
