My name is BLITZEN and I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!
I am 8 years old. My birth date is April 18, 2009. I weigh approximately 12 pounds. I am a chocolate brown neutered male Mini Schnauzer with Cropped Ears and a Docked Tail. My color is unique and makes me look as sweet as I really am. I am micro-chipped, have all my vaccinations,am heart-worm negative, been neutered and will be evaluated for 2 weeks by my foster family who are located in N. Myrtle Beach, SC. I was an owner turn in from a family who could no longer provide the type of home I really needed so they contacted SRC to provide the type of home that will help me to flourish. I want to be someone's beloved companion and in return I will give them lots of love and loyalty; however I do not care for small children.
(SRC#1933) BLITZEN's Story
BLITZEN with this unique identification number: (SRC#1933) came into SRC care recently and is being prepared for adoption by a foster family who have gone thru our approval process. Blitzen has had a couple of homes and his last one had small children which he did not get along with. Often Schnauzers do not like the high pitched tones of small children and their quick movements. Blitzen does not do well with small children so it was decided that he would be best placed in a family without them. His first home had been an older couple and that was a better placement for him. In Jan, 2017, Blitzen was attacked by a larger dog and required surgical repair for this attack. He is now very afraid of large dogs too. Blitzen has a slight underbite however his main problem has turned out to be periodontal disease which is now a Grade IV. He needs a dental done to remove the excessive tartar that has been accumulating on his teeth since at least 2016. SRC is working on helping get him a dental cleaning at this time. We at SRC just want him to have that loving home he 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 N. MYRTLE BEACH, SC 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 $350

When ready for adoption this canine will have been evaluated for two weeks by loving SRC foster parents who will now be able to give the adoptive parents information as to their opinion about the demeanor of the adoptive parent's new family companion prior to the finalizing of this adoption.
