My story

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

OWNER PLACEMENT

ASSISTED BY SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS

 

BRUTUS (SRC#3106) is the largest of the group in the Mini Schnauzers being placed from the Clayton area. He just weighed in at 27.6 pounds and he is solid as a rock!  His human Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer so neutering and spaying the Minis was something that this family had at the time was forgotten.  As a surprise, Snookie then had a litter of 5 puppies, with Brutus being the largest of all. These Minis gave Susan, their human Mom, great pleasure so none of them were placed until after she went to be with her Lord.  Her burial was on September 1, 2024 and at that time their human Dad felt it was time for them to be placed in loving homes where they would get individual attention.   Their human Dad loves them with all his heart and is determined that they have the best possible future, something he will not always be able to provide.  SRC is committed to helping him assure that happens. Brutus, such an adorable pup,  is very loving and has been raised in remarkable fashion. Brutus has NEVER been crated.  He receives bottled water to drink, and in addition to his kibble and canned dogfood, his dinner meal consists of a lean meat cooked with veggies (no corn). A fenced yard is a must for Brutus . These Mini males are exceptionally loving yet they have never been exposed to children, so it is best if Brutus is  placed in a home that does not have younger children. He does not require another dog to keep him company as long as his human companion is spending ample time with him. Still Brutus, like all Mini Schnauzers, will enjoy the company of another playmate.  A fenced yard will help when training him to walk on a leash -- plus always use a halter.  Brutus is now 27.6 pounds and he loves to eat! He is not fat -- just a larger Mini.   Like all the others in this family, he is a remarkable Mini Schnauzer and will be an excellent addition to any loving adoptive family . Brutus enjoys being a lap-baby and a good belly rub is never turned down.  In order to adopt Brutus, you must have experience with his breed.  Brutus was just groomed and the groomer cut off what was either a mole or a cyst on the left side of  his face which bled and left a scab.  His human Dad took him to the vet to have it checked -- the vet felt it was no problem and would heal well.  No antibiotics were prescribed.  

 

THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN CLAYTON, NC

THE DONATION BEING REQUESTED IN HONOR OF THE ADOPTON IS: $400

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 $400. (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)

The length of the approval process depends on the number of applications in process and also your location in relation to volunteers available to conduct a home visit report efficiently. 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. If your vet reference is not satisfactory, a home visit will not be conducted. (During COVID, PHOTOS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR REQUIRED -- NO HOME VISIT) Phone interview will replace Home visit. 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.

Adoption application

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.

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. Please email the SRC Core Team for a volunteer application at one of these email addresses:

adoptions@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org OR srcinfo@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org

and one will be sent to you right away. These may now be downloaded directly from our website for your convenience.
