MY NAME IS WILLOW (SRC#1951) AND I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY WAYNE & BEVERLY OF LENOIR, NC!  I HAVE A STANDARD SCHNAUZER SISTER BY THE NAME OF PFEFFER.  MY LIFE SHOULD BE A VERY HAPPY ONE!

REQUIREMENTS TO ADOPT THIS DOG: 

1. EXPERIENCE WITH THE BREED  

2. ANOTHER CANINE IN THE ADOPTIVE HOME WHICH SHE CAN RELATE TO AND PLAY WITH.

My name is Willow (SRC#1951). I am an ebony purebred spayed  Standard Schnauzer female. My date of birth is September 16, 2016 and I weigh  34 pounds. I am micro-chipped, have all necessary vaccinations, am spayed  and health tested.  SRC also had me examined by one of their approved vets.  I had a heart-worm test which came back negative.   My foster mom will evaluate me for a minimum of 2 weeks.  Before I came to SRC,  I lived on a farm so I am not leash trained or obedience trained yet I do lived indoors with my  mom so I am house-broken and very loving.  I had a very happy life yet my mom, who is also my breeder, needed to find a good home for me so SRC is going to help her.  My foster family has gone through SRC's approval process and has been associated with SRC for years.     I had  a great life on the farm yet when I am adopted I will need further basic training.  I am the most timid of the Standards that SRC is currently placing yet I am not aggressive at all.  I will definitely require an adopter who is patient and loving -- one who understands that I miss my previous life and will need lots of attention.

My foster mom says I am very sweet and cuddly -- my first 3 days I spent in bed with her just cuddling and now we are exploring a little more.  My foster mom thinks I am amazing!!

PLEASE READ PRIOR TO APPLYING

When ready for adoption, this canine will  have been evaluated for at least two weeks by loving SRC foster parents who will be able to give the adoptive parents  their opinion about the demeanor of the family companion  prior to the adoptive parents   finalizing   their adoption of this canine.  All our SRC volunteers strive to do this for the well-being of their rescued canine and to assure a successful adoption. It is our worthy mission to assure that each canine rescued by SRC is placed in a loving, stable and permanent home whose family members will treat it as a beloved member of their immediate family. We are prepared to assure that all of  our rescued dogs are in great homes or we will reclaim them if necessary.

SRC’s rescued dogs are  placed in foster homes throughout NC, SC, TN, and VA until they are adopted.These same states are  SRC's approved adoption areas  so please do not apply unless you live in one of these states. You must be willing to drive to the dog's foster home in order to adopt the canine. The location of each dog is listed at the bottom of its bio.

BEFORE meeting an SRC dog, you must be approved to adopt by our Placement Team. Our downloadable Adoption Application is on our web site at  http://www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org/_files/SRC_APP_082013.doc      and may be submitted via email or fax (1-910-401-1317). You may request an Adoption Application to email address:  adoptions@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org

Upon receipt of your application, a vet reference check will be done and if the vet check is satisfactory then a home visit will be done. The entire process may take up to seven days, depending on your location and the number of applications being processed at that time.

Please plan on welcoming your new dog into your home within two weeks after approval. We cannot hold dogs because this limits our intake of others in need; SRC adopts them out on a first-come, first-serve basis based on a completed approved adoption process. If you are unable to accept your adopted dog within this time frame then SRC will go to the next approval and place with someone able to give the rescue a home within the proper time frame.

SRC does not ordinarily adopt its dogs to families with children under ten years of age. Exceptions are sometimes made on a case by case basis but only when the dog has been raised with children and the children are very respectful of animals.  This is for the protection of the dogs and for the protection of the children.

Procedures will be explained to you at the time of approval regarding donation and contract. Your donation is made in honor of the adoption of your new family companion and is never a purchase of an animal.  This tax deductible donation goes forward to help incoming rescued dogs. Our average total expense per dog includes but is not limited to the list of  expenses shown below.

Here is a break-down of the average expenses spent on SRC dogs to assure they remain healthy and happy as they are prepared for adoption:

Office Visit $45-60; Fecal $14-36; Rabies $14-36; DHPP $14-36; Bordatella $14-36; Heart-worm, Lyme, Ehrliccia Testing $30-55; Heart-worm

 SRC  wants to thank you for your interest in our rescued dogs. We put our heart and souls into saving their lives.  Often the medical expense, time and effort expended to help these dogs, far outweighs the minimal donation requested to adopt these innocent ones.  Please understand SRC is limited in the number of dogs in our safe haven and if you are not selected to adopt one of them, it is not a reflection on your ability to provide a good home for a canine, simply our lack of ability to provide for the overwhelming demand from applicants.  SRC urges you to pursue rescue -- it is definitely a worthy mission even if you do not adopt from SRC.
