SRC is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Rescue Organization with Volunteers in four states. Our SRC Volunteers work diligently to place needy and abused Schnauzers or Honorary Schnauzers in loving adoptive homes. Why not complete your adoption application and give one of them the loving home he or she deserves?
Only about 4 years old at most... SCOOTER (SRC#3122) is a fully vetted [including a dental],salt and pepper Mini Schnauzer neutered male who will be an absolute treasure to the adoptive family who is preparing to adopt him. He does well with other dogs -- unknown about cats. Once your application is approved, a meet and greet may be arranged if you have another canine companion to assure that they will get along well. SRC will put you in touch with Scooter's foster parents so that you may discuss him further with them and also arrange a meet and greet if necessary. Scooter is an amazing little boy and very loyal. He loves to spend time with his human companions and is very easy to train.
His adoption donation is $375.00.
My name is Scooter (SRC#3122) and my age is really unknown. The shelter says 6 years old yet my vet and my foster parents say I am much younger -- probably around 4 years old at most. I weigh approximately 14 pounds. I am a neutered Mini Schnauzer male with Natural Ears and a Docked Tail. My color is salt and pepper. I am micro-chipped, have all my vaccinations, am heart-worm negative, and recently had a dental. I have been evaluated for 2 months by my foster family who are located in Greensboro, NC. They say I am a real sweetheart and will be an asset to any loving home! I love walks and a fenced yard is going to be a must. I have lots of energy and would even do well for agility. I am not the type of Mini that would just sit beside you and watch TV all day. I require a family that has an active lifestyle. If there is another dog in my adoptive home, it is preferred that it be a spayed female close to my size. I am housebroken still as always it is important that I be given time to acclimate to my new surroundings and be shown where I am supposed to go to potty.
Scooter's Story:
Scooter (SRC#3122) came into SRC care after he was found wandering around an apartment complex and brought to the shelter as a stray on the 15 th of November. Someone rough played with Scooter and he absolutely loves it! At first, we thought he was growling at us but discovered that he was just very vocal and mouthy when he plays – flipping, running, barking and his mouth is all over your hands. Once you realize all he wants to do is play, he’s pretty fun to be around. He shows his appreciation for the butt rubs by vigorously shaking his leg, giving you chin kisses and giving you the cutest brown eyed stare!. If you want to adopt SCOOTER (SRC#3122) then please submit a completed adoption application along with your vet records to either adoptions@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org OR anitacmcguire@gmail.com. Applications may be downloaded from this website. You will find them and just download them, complete the information, include photos of your home, and your vet records to expedite your approval process.
SNICKERS ADOPTION DONATION WHICH IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE IS : $375.00
CASH (SRC#2172) is a 9 yr old, 15-18 lb Mini Schnauzer male retired by a reputable breeder who wants him to have a loving home . Cash is in a loving adoptive home, and no other rescue Schnauzers are available.
We went to a high kill shelter to pick up a Mini and Archibald (a little Lhasa Apso was there. His personality was so sweet we could not leave him there to be put down
This precious pup was spayed and fully vetted. He got a new name that was more appropriate for him. His old life was going to be nothing but a memory because his first family was abusive so the memory of them left with the old name and he became TIKI (SRC#1176). Tiki was such a happy pup and he was adopted almost immediately by a loving woman who had loved his breed. Her Lhasa Apso had just crossed the Rainbow Bridge due to old age and she wanted a new companion. Tiki was perfect for Carolyn Folds and they bonded quickly. They were soul mates. Carolyn adopted Tiki on August 15, 2012. Tiki's micro-chip was registered to her and also SRC.
Time went by and all was well. Tiki and Carolyn was so happy together. This was such a perfect adoption. They were bonded and Tiki flourished. SRC heard from Carolyn frequently about their happy life until March 18, 2016 when Tiki was stolen from his loving mom! They were out for a ride and stopped for gas. Carolyn went in to pay for gas and a man grabbed Tiki from the car. Every effort was made to find this adorable little boy but he was not to be found. It appeared that he would never come home again and hope dwindled..........
June 2, 2021 SRC received a call about a small dog found in the middle of a busy highway. An animal lover stopped to save him and took him to a vet to have his chip read but they misread the chip number so the Director of SRC worked with that women to help get this pitiful little dog into a no kill facility. This caring woman spent her entire day caring for Tiki and trying to find his home despite the fact that he was so matted, dirty and smelled to high heaven. She was determined to assure that he did not suffer, go hungry, or get run over. She was not going to just dump him at a kill faciltiy either.
SRC and the woman who found him were able to get Tiki picked up and taken to Atlanta Lineline Animal Project where Allie Harris, the Rescue Coordinator read the chip number again and found the correct number. Allie worked with our Director, Anita C. McGuire to reunite Tiki with his beloved adoptive mom. She was so surprised that at first she could not believe it was really him and then when she was told that yes it was her baby after 5 years she could not wait to get him in her arms again!! Tiki was matted, his nails were overgrown and he had a dirty diaper on. He had been so neglected yet that micro-chip saved him! What a blessing.
By Thursday afternoon, June 3, 2021 Tiki finally came home to his beloved adoptive mom who never gave up hope that he would be in her arms once again. The Lord must have looked after Tiki when he was stolen by horrible people 5 years ago. We can only imagine what he endured during that time. Now he sleeps in his mom's arms at night along with his older brother. Life is sweet once again, thanks to a wonderful animal lover who saved him from being run over in the middle of a busy highway. Had it not been for the fact that Tiki was micro-chipped and registered in his adoptive mom's name he still would not have come back to her, so it is a blessing that they were reunited. Despite the fact Tiki suffered horrible neglect and abuse, he still remembered his home and his toys that had waited for him for 5 years. He loves playing with his balls. A good grooming made him feel more like his old self. His vet will determine if he can have a much needed dental since the neglect and poor diet has caused him to have a 5 - 6 heart murmur. Tiki will get all care possible to assure he is happy and as healthy as possible for his remaining years here on Earth. That chip helped assure this miracle occurred!
Please micro-chip and register your pets. SRC will gladly assist in helping make that happen for anyone interested in micro-chipping their beloved family companions. Contact us thru this website and we will arrange to help you if you have not chipped your pet already. We will send you a micro-chip and once it is inserted we will register it in your name free of charge.

As in any volunteer organization, the efforts of our volunteers are appreciated. We currently need help fostering new rescues. SRC realizes that many of us want to help in some way. Therefore, if you cannot foster at this time, you can "Sponsor a Foster." Your donation is assigned to a specific foster, and you can follow his/her progress. Send a donation of any size ($10, $20, $100)
Your donation can help save the lives of Rescued Schnauzers!
We frequently have rescued dogs come in with severe medical problems that require more treatment than our small adoption donations cover. While our adoption donation requested is often only $350, many dogs come in that require extensive surgeries or veterinarian visits that cost hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars. If you would like to help make a difference, please consider making an online, tax-deductible donation here:
Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit group. YOU can help save a dog's life with any amount you can give, and your donation is completely tax-deductible.
We thank you, and all the rescue dogs thank you as well!
