(SRC#1927) ROGER'S   Story

ROGER with this unique identification number: (SRC#1927) just came into SRC custody and  care. He was picked up by local Animal Control and taken to a local Shelter so SRC helped by bringing him into our safe haven.  He has been heart-worm tested (negative) and has all his shots.  He is scheduled to be neutered and micro-chipped and then will go to his foster family once he is fully vetted.  Then Roger will be prepared for adoption by a foster family who has gone thru our approval process . 

 When ready for adoption this dog will be heart-worm negative, de-wormed, vaccinations brought up to date,  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 is left to the discretion of the SRC Core Team.

THIS DOG IS BEING FOSTERED IN RALEIGH, NC -- 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 $355         .

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 adoptive parent   finalizing   their adoption of this canine.  All 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 as a beloved member of their immediate family. We are prepared to assure that our rescued dogs are in great homes or we will reclaim them if necessary.

SRC’s dogs are  placed in foster homes throughout NC, SC, TN, and VA until they are adopted and these states are our approved adoption areas. You must be willing to drive to the dog's foster home in order to adopt it. The location of each dog is listed at the bottom of its bio.

BEFORE meeting an SRC dog, you must be approved to adopt. Our downloadable Adoption Application is on our web site at
schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org
 and may be submitted via email or fax (1-910-401-1317). You may request an Adoption Application to email address:
[email protected]

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 normally takes three to seven days, depending on your location.

Please plan on welcoming your new dog into your home within two weeks after approval. We are not able to hold dogs because this limits our intake of others in need; SRC adopt them out on a first-come, first-serve basis based on a completed approved adoption process.

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 in honor of the adoption of your new family companion and is not a purchase of an animal.  This tax deductible donation goes forward to help incoming rescued dogs.
