Membership Application

To apply for NCSR membership, you must be at least 21 years old and be a current resident of North Carolina.

As a member of North Carolina Schnauzer Rescue, Inc. (NCSR), I give my pledge and promise to abide by the policies of this organization (including, but not limited to, the Policies and Procedures, and By-Laws) and to conduct myself in a professional, courteous and ethical manner at all times to other members of the organization as well as in any capacity where I associate myself with NCSR. If I am involved in rescue activities that involve miniature schnauzers in any way, I will immediately advise the NCSR Board of Directors as to the nature of my involvement to assure compliance with NCSR Policies and Procedures as well as to assure there is not a conflict of interest. I will promote the ethical treatment of animals and responsible pet ownership according to the guidelines within the policies of NCSR. I understand I will receive descriptions of duties appropriate to the tasks I am volunteering for and agree to follow those guidelines at all times. I also understand that I will undergo the same investigation that is required of any adoptive applicant when they have requested to adopt one of NCSR’s rescue schnauzers. After my membership has been approved, I will maintain regular contact with the NCSR Board of Directors and work under the direction of any mentor or committee chairperson to which I am assigned. By completing this form, I understand that my membership may be revoked at any time if I am found to have reneged on this pledge in any way. I agree to perform all assigned duties and turn in all paperwork in a timely manner and will maintain appropriate records as needed.

NC Schnauzer Rescue Membership Policies & Procedures

  • Applicant Information

  • # / State of issue, e.g. 123456789 / NC
  • Co-Applicant/Spouse Information

  • Home/Environment Information

  • NCSR does not adopt to homes that have electronic/underground fencing. Although some have succssfully used this type of fencing to contain dogs of all breeds, NCSR believes it to be an unsafe and unreliable method of containment for a rescued Schnauzer. Schnauzers, as a breed, have a high prey drive and will brave getting "zapped" for a chance to chase a squirrel or to meet another dog on the outside of the fence. They will not, however, brave the "zap" to get back into the yard. This leaves the dog roaming free on the outside of the fence and in danger of cars, strange dogs, and other dangers. Because rescue dogs are often nervous in new surroundings, they can be prone to run if scared or startled. For the well-being and safety of our rescues, we will not adopt a rescued Schnauzer to a home with e lectronic/underground fencing.

  • * To become an NCSR Member, we will complete your reference checks as well as a Home Visit just like our adoption applicants before we "approve" you for membership. This will help familiarize you with the process so you may share it with potential adoptive families, and will also "pre-approve" you in case you ever decide to adopt a rescue as well! *

    Membership dues are $25.00 (one-time) per person, with an annual renewal fee of $10 (which may be waived for volunteer services performed throughout the year as long as you remain an active member.)

    You will be notified by email once you are an approved member and will be added to the NCSR-Members Yahoo group email list.

    Please note: our approval process can take between 2-4 weeks or more. If you have any questions at any time about the status of your application, please email rescue@ncschnauzers.org

    Once approved, you will receive a Membership Welcome packet in postal mail that includes an envelope to send in your $25 membership fee.
