The Standard Schnauzer Club of America (SSCA) Rescue is an all volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of purebred Standard Schnauzers. All of our dogs are cared for by breed experienced foster homes and receive temperament evaluations and medical care including: vaccinations, spaying/neutering, flea/tick/heartworm treatment, and microchipping prior to their adoption.

ADOPTING AN ADULT HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
Occasionally, the Standard Schnauzer Club of America has an adult Standard Schnauzer who needs a new home. These are excellent dogs who have lost their homes through no fault of their own. Homes can be lost through death, divorce, relocation, illness, or many other reasons. A "ready made dog" can be a wonderful choice for the first-time owner or the family that doesn't have time to train a puppy. Most of these dogs are over 5 years old and are males. There are between 12-15 dogs a year placed thru Rescue across the Nation.

These older dogs are usually housebroken, lead trained, or even obedience trained. They are usually nice about being brushed and combed. Lots of patience is required, however, for the first few weeks. The dog will feel confused and lonesome for his old family, but will quickly love his new family given a little patience.

Here are the details about the latest SS in the rescue program.

• 1 year old neutered male
• Black, cropped ears, cropped tail
• AKC registered
• Up to date on shots, possibly micro-chipped
• Crate trained
• Gets along with other dogs, walks on a leash
• Goes to dog park
• Get along with kids, unsure about cats

The current owner lives in the City in a condo. He was not expecting such a high energy dog. He doesn’t have enough time to meet the needs of this dog. The current owner is being fairly reasonable about time-frame, but does not want to keep the dog. Breeder (not SSCA member) will not take back the dog; says she has no room.

SSCA Rescue is looking for a foster home until a permanent home is available. If the new owners have not had a SS, Rescue likes for the dog to be fostered first for evaluation by a SS owner.

Please contact Debbie Casey if you are interested or can think of someone who might be.

Hi, My name is Turk.   And I am adopted.  
Turk is an 8 year old male neutered pepper and salt standard schnauzer. Turk is being fostered through Schnauzer Rescue of MN (SROMN) for the Standard Schnauzer Club of America (SSCA) Rescue.

Upon arrival, we learned that Turk was a little guy (28 lbs) with a BIG personality! It did not take long for Turk to open up! When he arrived, he was food reactive towards other dogs, not humans, and that seems resolved. Turk loves to chew on toys and bones! He loves to run in the yard! And most importantly, he loves to cuddle with his people!

FOR MORE INFORMATION
Please email (Acting) if you would like more information.

The first step towards getting a rescue dog is to print a copy of the rescue application, fill it out and mail it to .   The application will be kept on file and when a dog comes into the Rescue program that is what you are looking for you would be notified. The Rescue Program does not normally ship dogs. We try to match the dog to the best owner for it. I encourage you to also contact the local SSCA rescue person in your area so they are aware you are interested in a rescue dog.  These contacts are listed below.
