Dogs for Adoption—How to adopt! |
|
HOW THE ADOPTION APPLICATION AND APPROVAL PROCESS WORKS: ▪ Dogs will only be adopted to residents that currently live in North Carolina, are over the age of 21, and applicants should be willing to travel within NC to visit and/or pick up their adopted dog if approved. ▪ Apply to adopt by completing an NCSR Adoption Application (click to download) or email a request for the application to rescue@ncschnauzers.org ▪ 3 personal references and 1 veterinary reference are required. (If no current pets, please note previous vet or vet you might consider using.) Understanding the financial needs of having a pet and having the monetary means to care for a schnauzer is also a requirement for adoption. ▪ After a satisfactory home visit, applicants will be notified by email and by phone of their approval status. We will then work with you to match up the right dog to your family. ▪ There is an adoption donation fee requested at the time of adoption of all of our rescued miniature schnauzers. These fees cover all up to date vaccinations and medical attention, spay/neuter, and other expenses we have for each dog, and are usually far less than what we have actually spent on the dog. The adoption donation fee amounts are: $200 for dogs 6 years old or older. $250 for dogs 3 years to 5 years old. $300 for dogs 2 years old or younger.
PLEASE NOTE: The entire approval process can sometimes take a month or more to complete since we are all volunteers and do this in our “free” time. You may apply for a dog on our website that gets adopted before your own approval is complete, but you will then be an approved applicant and in line for other incoming rescued dogs. Not all applicants can be approved to adopt a rescued miniature schnauzer. This in no way reflects on the ability of a family to provide a wonderful home for a dog, but is out of necessary concern and consideration for the special needs that are common with many rescued dogs. We reserve the right to deny any application. Even if approved for adoption, you may not be allowed to adopt the dog you requested because of that dog’s particular needs, or if that dog has already been adopted by another applicant. We do our best to help the right dog be united with the right family so that the adoptions are forever.
