My adoptive parents live in Raleigh, NC. My birth date is December 12, 2014. I weigh approximately 25 pounds. I am a lovely confident spayed female with an alpha personality. I am a Mini Schnauzer with Natural Ears and a Docked Tail who loves attention and although I may become jealous of other dogs, I do play well with them and behave nicely in their company as long as we have been introduced properly. My color is white/silver . I am micro-chipped, have all my vaccinations, am heart-worm negative, been spayed and evaluated for 2 weeks by my foster family who are located in Guilford County area. (SRC#1970) HOLLY's Story HOLLY with this unique identification number: (SRC#1970) came into SRC care the first of September, 2018 and is being prepared for adoption by a foster family who have gone thru our approval process. Holly had been adopted from another rescue that is no longer operational and her previous adoptive parents kept her crated long hours. Eventually they wanted to return her so her original foster mom rescued her and contacted SRC. We were honored to help Holly find the type of home she needs. Holly is a confident Mini Schnauzer who has an alpha personality and would probably do best as an only dog although she will play well with other dogs. Holly does tend to become jealous of the attention they receive yet she will wait her turn for treats, etc. It is possible that Holly may have been abused in the past by a man because she warms quickly to women however she seems to fear men and it takes time and lots of TLC for her to accept and trust men. Although Holly is not especially fond of other dogs, she does play well with them after a slow introduction and firm interaction by humans;so even if she is an only dog, she would accept others if introduced properly. Perhaps Holly sees herself as another human because she loves to cuddle and talks frequently to her human companions! That is a Schnauzer trait that most Schnauzer lovers really enjoy. She loves toys and enjoys walks. She does well on a leash and a halter does best for her. The perfect adoptive home would be either a woman who is retired yet active or one who works from home. Holly will be a great companion in this situation. We at SRC just want her to have that loving home she deserves. Perhaps that is you? As of September 23 : Her foster parents let her roam the main area of the house while they are gone and she does great! However, she will walk into a crate and be content while they are at home. Her foster parents have had Holly for two weeks now and she is a very good companion! She will lay around most of the day but does enjoy receiving attention throughout the day. She listens very well and responds to “No” if she barks too much or starts to growl at other dogs; no aggressive growling have been directed at people. She tends to get along better with smaller dogs and wants to be dominant over larger dogs. Snuggling is tolerated and appreciated for a short bit but then wants to lay down in her own space. We have not observed any aggressive behavior towards men, women, or children; she is generally quiet and quietly meets strangers in public areas. The only times she barks is if she hears something all of the sudden, someone walks by on road in front of our house, someone arrives at the house, or suddenly sees dogs or people from around the corner. She can be skiddish of sounds or actions if she caught off guard or is scared. She does very well at bath time and will attempt to play with other dogs but seems unsure on how to interact. Now ready for adoption this dog is heart-worm tested (negative), de-wormed, vaccinations brought up to date, spayed, 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 GREENSBORO,NC AND YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THAT LOCATION IN ORDER TO PICK HOLLY UP THERE WHEN SHE IS ADOPTED. Tax-deductible donation requested at time of adoption for this dog is $ 450 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. |
