Our Story
Georgia came into SRC care recently and is being prepared for adoption by a foster parent who has gone thru our approval process. We at SRC just want her to have that loving home she deserves. My first family loved me very much yet personal issues made it impossible for her family to keep Georgia. Georgia has a sibling named Tucker who is also available for adoption. They may be adopted together as they are bonded, or they could be adopted together. They loved Georgia enough to assure that she went to the best possible adoptive family and that is why they selected SRC to place Georgia in an adoptive home where she will be loved and cared for the remainder of her lifetime. Georgia is used to having a fenced yard so it would be preferred that her adoptive family has a fenced yard. This Minis is used to sleeping in a crate, and until recently she was used to sleeping in an extra large crate with her brother, Tucker. She is leash trained and is house broken. Naturally like all Minis they are not very happy at having to go outside to potty in the rain and cold weather. She has learned to sit on command Georgia gets along very well with other dogs but she has never been exposed to cats. Georgia is very friendly and LOVES cuddle time. She enjoys car rides yet she loves to tell you in her own way about things that happen on the trip. All you have to do is translate "bark- bark".
When ready for adoption this dog will be heart-worm tested (negative), de-wormed, vaccinations brought up to date, spayed if not done already, micro-chipped, examined by a vet and any necessary medical issues found by this vet will be addressed. It is anticipated that this dog will be released for adoption by the same date as the completion of the Evaluation. The date of release of this dog is at the discretion of the SRC Core Team.
GEORGIA IS BEING FOSTERED IN MT. PLEASANT, SOUTH CAROLINA AND YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THAT LOCATION IN ORDER TO PICK HER UP THERE WHEN SHE IS ADOPTED.
Tax-deductible donation requested at time of adoption for this dog is $550.
PLEASE READ PRIOR TO APPLYING
When ready for adoption, this canine will have been evaluated for at least two weeks by loving SRC foster parents who will be able to give the adoptive parents their opinion about the demeanor of the family companion prior to the adoptive parents finalizing their adoption of this canine. All our SRC volunteers strive to do this for the well-being of their rescued canine and to assure a successful adoption. It is our worthy mission to assure that each canine rescued by SRC is placed in a loving, stable and permanent home whose family members will treat it as a beloved member of their immediate family. We are prepared to assure that all of our rescued dogs are in great homes or we will reclaim them if necessary.
SRC’s rescued dogs are placed in foster homes throughout NC, SC, TN, and VA until they are adopted. These same states are SRC's approved adoption areas so please do not apply unless you live in one of these states. You must be willing to drive to the dog's foster home in order to adopt the canine. The location of each dog is listed at the bottom of its bio.
BEFORE meeting an SRC dog, you must be approved to adopt by our Placement Team. Our downloadable Adoption Application is on the Homepage of our Website where you may also find our Foster Application and Volunteer Application should you want to use these instead. Here is the address of our Homepage for you: schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas/
Once you have completed the application, please include your vet medical records along with photos of your home (interior and exterior including your yard) -- these may be used in lieu of a home visit due to the problems with issues with the pandemic. These changes have been initiated for the protection of our applicants and for our volunteers while we are dealing with Covid-19. Once the virus has subsided to the point that people are not dying with this horrific virus, SRC will go back to our standard protocol with home visits being conducted. These will not be done until contagion is not an issue. The revised documentation may be submitted via email and/or fax (1-910-401-1317). You may request an Adoption Application to email address: mcguirea493gmail
Upon receipt of your application, your medical records, and photos of your home (interior and exterior), the entire file will be processed and reviewed by the Core Team which may take up to seven days, depending on your location and the number of applications being processed at that time. Satisfactory files will also be reviewed by foster parent. Someone from the Core Team along with the Foster Parent will be in touch with you to ask any questions that might be outstanding and to answer any questions you may have. At that point an adoption may be discussed and arranged.
Please plan on welcoming your new dog into your home within two weeks after approval. We cannot hold dogs because this limits our intake of others in need; SRC adopts them out on a first-come, first-serve basis based on a completed approved adoption process. If you are unable to accept your adopted dog within this time frame then SRC will go to the next approval and place with someone able to give the rescue a home within the proper time frame.
SRC does not ordinarily adopt its dogs to families with children under ten years of age. Exceptions are sometimes made on a case by case basis but only when the dog has been raised with children and the children are very respectful of animals. This is for the protection of the dogs and for the protection of the children.
Procedures will be explained to you at the time of approval regarding the necessary donation and the adoption contract. Your donation is made in honor of the adoption of your new family companion and is never a purchase of an animal. This tax deductible donation goes forward to help incoming rescued dogs. Our average total expense per dog includes but is not limited to the list of expenses shown below.

SRC wants to thank you for your interest in our rescued dogs. We put our heart and souls into saving their lives. Often the medical expense, time and effort expended to help these dogs, far outweighs the minimal donation requested to adopt these innocent ones. Please understand SRC is limited in the number of dogs in our safe haven and if you are not selected to adopt one of them, it is not a reflection on your ability to provide a good home for a canine, simply our lack of ability to provide for the overwhelming demand from applicants. SRC urges you to pursue rescue -- it is definitely a worthy mission even if you do not adopt from SRC.
