Story
Meet Fletcher Fletcher is about 3 years old, weighs 15 pounds and is a happy, playful pup! He is very sweet, friendly, loving and as you can see in the video, enjoys exploring, running around the yard and playing. He was rescued from a shelter near the border of Mexico. We can see Fletcher doing well in a home where he can get lots of attention and playtime with his active family. He is curious and also enjoys being held. He has a fun personality and in true terrier fashion, he is very smart. He enjoys playing in the yard, so he will need a home that has a place for him to run. He is just a fun-loving pup who can’t wait to find a home of his own! He would be a wonderful, loyal companion to grow up in just about any family environment. Fletcher tested positive for heartworms and has been treated. Fletcher is located at our rescue in Hondo, Texas and is available for transport to Columbus, OH on April 26th. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, microchipped and his adoption fee is $450. The fee includes the transport cost.

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.
