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.

Schnauzer fun facts

Fun Facts:

Schnauzers are the only Terriers that come from Germany instead of the British Isles.

Schnauzers go so far back, they were illustrated by famed German printmaker Albrecht Dürer in the early 1500s.

Schnauzers can hear frequencies twice as high as humans. Their excellent sense of hearing helped them with their early days of vermin-catching.
