Schnauzer Love Rescue Inc.
(SLR)
A Non-Profit 501 (c)(3) Corporation

These are just some of the dogs we have rescued - one almost matted beyond recognition, a pair that needed to be saved together, and an older girl of 14 who still had love to give.

Our efforts are sometimes extinguished when we do not have an open foster home where the rescued dog can be placed.  Would YOU consider becoming a foster home so a dog can be saved?  If so, please fill out a foster application by clicking this link.

It is amazing to see what beauty these rescued and rehabilitated Schnauzers bring to the lives of those who adopt them.  Perhaps it is best illustrated by the simplicity of pictures.  Below are Schnauzers who have found new homes where they are cherished.

These beautiful pictures could only happen with our volunteers and the much needed donations we receive.  Recently, we have spent almost $3000 on two rescued Schnauzers.  One needed open heart surgery and the other needed surgery to repair a badly broken leg.  If you can help by sending in a donation, just scroll down to the Pal Pal button or to find the address where you can mail in your check of any amount.

Once dogs land in Schnauzer Love Rescue, they can look forward to a bright future. We do all we can to bring them to health and well being, and then we carefully place them in only the best homes.

Thinking of adopting a rescue Schnauzer?  Please give some thought to the commitment you are about to make.

1.  Many rescues come to us from difficult situations that involve rehabilitating them to one degree or another.  Some have housebreaking or marking issues, others need socialization and ALL of them need a period of adaptation after going to their forever homes. 

2.  If you are expecting a perfect dog when adopting a rescue, you're at the wrong place.  All these rescues can become wonderful companions.  It depends on how much time YOU are willing to spend with them.  Obedience or agility classes are always a great way to bond with your new companion.

3.  Many rescues going to a new home will have accidents initially.  Having been uprooted at least twice, they will be nervous, - the same way you would be if someone placed you in a totally strange environment.  It's a time of transition for them and it is often frightening, even though you may have much love to offer.  They will need some understanding and time to adjust to their new homes.   

4.  If all you want is to feel good because you rescued a Schnauzer, please don't  waste  the precious time our volunteers  spend finding good homes for these wonderful rescues.   

PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER...

Schnauzer Love Rescue is an organization of volunteers, most of whom have full time jobs in addition to doing rescue work.  They dedicate a great amount of personal time to ensure these rescues get the second chance they deserve.

All dogs coming into our rescue program receive a full veterinary examination, are brought up to date on their shots, checked for worms, and are spayed or neutered before we release them to their forever homes.  This is done at considerable expense to our organization.  The adoption fees often don't cover all the vetting fees, especially when there are additional procedures required to restore the dog's health.

Our rescues are always fostered for a period of time to determine their temperament.  This helps us ensure we find a suitable home that will result in a forever match.  This takes time.  We also do a Home Visit with the adopting family to ensure a good match, and to ensure the safety of our pets in their new homes.  All this takes time.  Please be patient so we can find the right Schnauzer for you.
