Adoption Application Form – [STAGING] Schnauzer Love Rescue

Introduction

Thank you for contacting Schnauzer Love Rescue, Inc. (SLR) about adopting a dog. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving Miniature Schnauzers and non-shedding Miniature Schnauzer mixes whose owners can no longer care for them or who have been found as strays. After submitting this form we will do our best to find a dog for you that is the best possible match to give you and your new companion the best possible chance of being happy together. We are very proud of our ability to take the information we learn during the intake and fostering processes and match our dogs with new forever families.

Every dog that gets adopted from our rescue has received a wellness exam, been spayed or neutered, been vaccinated, and been tested, and if necessary, treated for worms and other parasites. Some of the dogs that come into our rescue have other medical issues that need to be taken care of before they can be adopted. Our dogs only become adoptable after those issues have been positively addressed.

The adoption fees we charge for our services vary based on the age of the dog being adopted, and they cover not only the routine care most dogs receive while they are in our care, the fees also cover the much higher expenses we experience when certain dogs require extraordinary care.

SLR is currently only placing dogs in the following states:
Alabama
Florida
Georgia
Mississippi
North Carolina
South Carolina
Tennessee

It is important that all of the questions on this form be answered as completely and as accurately as possible so we can make the best possible match for you. Thank you again for contacting SLR.
