TUCKER (SRC#3601) IN SOUTH CAROLINA - MINIATURE SCHNAUZER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Miniature Schnauzer (short coat). Adoption Fee: $550.00. My name is TUCKER (SRC#3601). I am 4 years old and my birthdate is April 19, 2021. I weigh approximately20 pounds. I am a Mini Schnauzer with Cropped Ears and Docked Tails. I am white with a couple of wisps of black (foot and nubbin). I am microchipped, have all my vaccinations, am heart-worm negative and, been neutered. I will be evaluated for a minimum of 2 weeks by my foster mom who is located in MT. Pleasant, South Carolina. Our Story Tucker 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 him to have that loving home he deserves. Tucker's first family loved him very much yet personal issues made it impossible for them to keep him. They love them enough to assure that the will go to the best possible adoptive family and that is why they selected SRC to place Tucker in an adoptive home where he will be loved and cared for the remainder of his lifetime. Tucker is used to having a fenced yard so it would be preferred that the adoptive family also have a fenced yard. Tucker is used to sleeping in a crate, and recently he has begun to sleep in an extra large crate with his sister, Georgia. They may be adopted together if you want to secure both canines. Both of them are leash trained (although Tucker does pull a little bit, but that is because he wants to enjoy as much exploring as possible) and both are house broken. Naturally like all Minis they are not very happy at having to go outside to potty in the rain and cold weather. Tucker has learned to sit on command, and how to spin around on command. He gets along very well with other dogs yet has never been exposed to cats. He is a fun boy and loves to play. He does enjoy car rides yet he also love to bark out instructions on the trip. When ready for adoption this dog will be heart-worm tested (negative), de-wormed, vaccinations brought up to date, neutered 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. TUCKER IS BEING FOSTERED IN MT. PLEASANT, SOUTH CAROLINA AND YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THAT LOCATION IN ORDER TO PICK HIM UP THERE WHEN HE IS ADOPTED. Tax-deductible donation requested at time of adoption for this dog is $550.00 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. Here is a break-down of the average expenses spent on SRC dogs to assure they remain healthy and happy as they are prepared for adoption: Office Visit $45-75; Fecal $14-45; Rabies $14-45; DHPP $14-45; Bordatella $14-45; Heart-worm, Lyme, Ehrliccia Testing $30-55; Heart-worm Preventative $70 per month; Spay or Neuter $300-$700; Total Basic Vetting $478- $765; ADDITIONAL VETTING: Teeth Cleaning/Dental $300 - $1550; Blood Panel $120 -$185; Cherry Eye $300-$700; Urinary Tract Infection $90-$450; Heart-worm Treatment $300-$1200; Luxating Patellas $1,800 per leg; Cruciate Surgery $1,200 per leg; Entropian Surgery $250-$500; Demodectic Mange $200 per month; X-Ray $80 - $120; Ultrasound: $550; Cataract Surgery $1800 - $3500; Boarding $450 per month per dog 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.
