My name is GRETA (SRC#1973) and I have been adopted!! November 17, 2017I am a salt/pepper Mini Schnauzer female. My age is approximated, yet I am a senior who was abandoned by my original family and rescued by loving people who are unable to give me a permanent home. They are determined to provide for me until they are assured that I receive the best possible permanent adoptive home because I deserve that and much more! I am a lovely little girl who thrives on sitting beside you or will willingly follow you wherever you go. My eyes drink in the kindness that I obviously have not received when I needed it most. I am willing to give love in abundance now that I am being treated with love and respect by the humans who care for me. Constant hunger was something I dealt with regularly because I tend to be food aggressive and will let any canine (large or small) known right away that the meal put before me is Mine and Mine alone! It would probably be best if I am the only canine in the family who adopts me. Don’t worry, I have enough love in abundance to assure that my new adoptive parents get plenty of it! I love to cuddle yet I am somewhat uncomfortable with being picked up. Best if you let me come to you and I will be in your lap easily if you allow me there. I am heart-worm negative, spayed, up to date on my shots, and even come with my own toothbrush. I am on a special diet due to my liver enzymes, but I had blood work on Monday, November 5, 2018 to assure that I am a healthy mature lady. I am a strikingly beautiful female with perky ears and a nubbin that wags constantly for humans who show me proper attention. I will make a fantastic family companion for a mature human who wants to spend lots of time cuddling, going for walks, or perhaps rides. I love spending time with my special human and will respond with all the affection they carve as much as I do; so we would be perfect for one another. My loving foster parents are providing my special food, a snuggly bed, toys, and other goodies for me when I go to my permanent home so that I will be very comfortable when I leave. They love me very much – but then anyone who meets me fall under my spell! Contact SRC and start my adoption process right away. I am waiting for you! My foster mom is sending me with extra food, toys, and lots of goodies so that I will have everything I need. (SRC#1973) GRETA's Story GRETA with this unique identification number: (SRC#1973 ) came into SRC care recently and is being prepared for adoption by a foster family who were approved to adopt. We at SRC just want her to have that loving home he/she deserves.
When ready for adoption this dog will be heart-worm tested (negative), de-wormed, vaccinations brought up to date, spayed/neutered if not done already, micro-chipped, examined fully by a vet and any necessary medical issues found by this vet will have been addressed. It is anticipated that this dog will be released for adoption by the same date as the completion of the Evaluation. The date of release of this dog is at the discretion of the SRC Core Team.
THIS DOG IS BEING FOSTERED IN BURKE COUNTY AND YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THAT LOCATION IN ORDER TO PICK THE DOG UP THERE WHEN HE/SHE IS ADOPTED. Tax-deductible donation requested at time of adoption for this dog is $185 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. |
