UPDATE: ADOPTED!!

Jim is too cute for words! He is still looking for his forever home in PA, DE, MD, VA, or DC. Jim is approximately 14 months old and 16 lbs. He is housetrained and crate trained. He was just groomed and vetted.

He is a very sweet boy who loves attention, being petted, and being with his person. He is very active as all puppies are. He is not a barker (yet). He loves playing with toys. Jim enjoys 1-2 walks a day and romping in his fenced yard. He gets along with children.

Jim needs an ALL FEMALE home. He growls at men. He does not adjust over time with patience. We have tested him in two foster homes. We feel this is due to his fear of the puppy mill breeder he came from.

An adopter will be required to take Jim through dog obedience training. If you are interested in adopting Jim and meet his adoption criteria, and live in our adoption area, please private message us for an adoption application.

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!

Jim is looking for his forever home in PA, DE, MD, VA, or DC. Jim was sold with his littermate brother at 10 months old by a puppy mill breeder to a family. The family returned Jim after a bit, saying he wasn't working out with the family and was not getting along
with the husband. The family had neutered Jim so the breeder turned Jim over to rescue.

Jim is 1 year old (13 months old) and 16 lbs. He is housetrained and crate trained.

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!

Sasha & Millie are a 1.5 yo female bonded pair (littermates). They will only be adopted together. They are approx. 17 lbs. Sasha is white and Millie is a white with black parti. The are looking for a home in PA, DE, MD, VA, or DC. They are up to date on vaccines, heartworm/Lyme tested, and will be spayed before leaving rescue.

Both girls are housetrained. They are used to a quiet, less active environment with a fenced yard so are looking for the same. They are not used to walking on a leash so their foster is working on leash training. They are friendly and playful. They recently came into rescue, so we are still learning about their needs.

An adopter will be required to take Sasha and Millie through dog obedience training and continue to work on leash training..

If you are interested in adopting Sasha and Millie and meet their adoption criteria, and live in our adoption area, please private message us for an adoption application.

Anyone available to volunteer as a transporter in the Harrisburg/York, PA area? We have an urgent need on Saturday to move a schnauzer from the Harrisburg area south to over the Maryland line to meet up with another transporter to get the dog to his foster home in Silver Spring, MD. Will need a crate for transport. If you are interested, please message us and we will get you the volunteer paperwork.

REESIE - ADOPTED!

Reesie is a 4-year-old beautiful gray female miniature schnauzer looking for her forever family in PA, DE, MD, VA, or DC. She is 16 lbs. She is microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm/Lyme tested, and spayed.

Reesie is a sweet, barky, playful, active, adult visitor friendly, lapdog/cuddler, and loves getting lots of attention. Reesie loves to bark a lot. She spends her time following her foster around everywhere in the home or barking at people and dogs she sees out the window. She loves to go on long walks and walks at a fast pace on the leash (she does pull when barking). She does not play with toys. She is house-trained and crate trained.

Reesie was originally adopted by a family from a shelter and had come into the shelter as a stray, so background unknown. She was adopted by a family with 5 children and another mini schnauzer. Unfortunately, she gets overly excited with younger children and lots of activity in the home and then acts out aggressively with other pets or nips at the younger children. She also has jealousy issues with other dogs.

Due to Reesie’s background, she is looking to be the only pet in the home, which is an adult only townhome or single family home with a fenced yard. If you are interested in adopting Reesie, meet her adoption criteria, and live in our adoption area, please private message us for an adoption application.

Happy New Year!

As the calendar year comes to a close, Schnauzer Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic would like to thank you for your support throughout the year! We could not provide our rescue services without your support or the dedication of our volunteers.

This week marks the end of our annual fundraiser to replenish our Veterinary Fund. Donors like you make it possible for us to get our dogs the veterinary care they need so they can find their way to their forever home.

If you have already donated to SRM, THANK YOU! If you are still looking for that last-minute tax-deductible donation, please consider giving to help our dogs. Donations can be made at https://schnauzerrescue.net/Donate.htm

Thank you in advance!
Warmest wishes to you and yours in 2024!

Today is Giving Tuesday. It is a global day of giving. Please join the movement by donating to Schnauzer Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic. Through your continued generous donations, mini schnauzers are given a second chance at life.

Since 2002, SRM continues to rescue miniature schnauzers given up through no fault of their own and adopt them to families throughout MD, VA, DE, PA, and DC.

All donations received during this campaign will go directly to our Veterinary Fund, as they always do. Replenishing this Fund affords us the means to provide medical care to dogs in rescue, and sets them on the path to their new forever home! Schnauzers coming into our care need vaccines, neutering/spaying, dentals, removal of growths, treatment for skin conditions, surgical procedures, prescription food, and monthly preventatives (heartworm, flea/tick).

Our Veterinary Fund helps mini schnauzers like Jet. Jet is a puppy sold by a puppy mill breeder to a buyer, who found he had a grade 3 heart murmur and returned him. The breeder was going to euthanize him. SRM stepped in and saved Jet. Jet received all his puppy vaccines and saw a cardiology specialist to determine the cause of the murmur. He had an echocardiogram which determined there was a hole that needed to be repaired. Jet had cardiac surgery soon afterwards and now can live a normal life. He will be going home with his adoptive family in early December!

Tax-deductible donations can be made through the SRM website at schnauzerrescue.net/Donate.htm (check or PayPal). Thank you in advance for your support!

Reesie was just groomed. Isn't she beautifull! She is still looking for her forever home and would love to be in her permanent home for the holidays.

Happy Tails! Kobe and Lola were adopted! Kobe (left) and Lola pictured with their SRM foster and adopters. We are so excited they found their permanent home before the holidays!

25/09/2023

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!!

Meet Lola and Kobe, a bonded mini schnauzer pair looking for their forever family in PA, DE, MD, VA, or DC. They will only be adopted together to a home with no other pets. A fenced yard (privately fenced, not a dog park) is preferable as they love to run around the yard together and play. They do love walks. No children younger than teenagers due to Kobe and Lola's background.

Both Kobe and Lola are well behaved and sweet little dogs. They love people and are total cuddle bugs. They are up-to-date on vaccines and have had dentals. Kobe was neutered and Lola came into rescue spayed. Both dogs are house trained and crate trained. Kobe plays with toys and neither has food aggression. They tolerate being brushed daily.

Kobe is a 6 yo, 13 lb., barky lapdog. He has been a bit nippy with young children. We suspect he was tormented while in his crate. An adopter will have to be careful reaching into the crate with Kobe..

Lola is a 5 yo, 11 lb, friendly dog. She is shy when first meeting strangers.

If you are interested in adopting Lola and Kobe, meet their adoption criteria, and live in our adoption area, please private message us for an adoption application.

ADOPTED!

UPDATE: Jet had successful surgery on Tuesday. He spent overnight at the vet. He will be cooling his jets for the next two weeks on pain meds and tranquilizers to keep him calm. Then the stitches will come out. We didn’t get a lot of donations to help with his bills, so could still use some help.

Jet, our puppy in residence, saw the cardiologist on September 12th. He has a grade 2-3 heart murmur. He has a hole that didn’t close at birth. The hole will be closed up with a surgical procedure that doesn’t require his chest to be opened. So he will have a much easier recovery. He’s had a cardiology visit, echocardiogram, EKG, and pre-surgery bloodwork done and will have the procedure done on October 3rd. He will have a normal life after the procedure and will be available for adoption. We will know more after the procedure.

In the meantime, SRM would appreciate donations for our vet fund which pays for this surgery, specialist appts, echocardiogram, bloodwork, etc. Thanks in advance for your help! http://schnauzerrescue.net/Donate.htm

25/08/2023

We have taken in several dogs recently all of whom need expensive vetting. Lola and Kobe are a bonded pair. They both needed vaccines and dentals. Kobe was neutered. Jet is a puppy with a grade 2-3 heart murmur. He is finishing up his vaccines and waiting for his cardiology specialist appointment for an EKG and echocardiogram. Another schnauzer came in who needs vaccines and a dental. We would really appreciate donations to replenish our vet fund. All donations go directly to our vet fund. Thanks in advance for your help! http://schnauzerrescue.net/Donate.htm

We have an immediate need for fosters in MD and northern VA within an hours drive of Laurel, MD. We have a male and female bonded pair needing a temporary foster Aug 13-20 to cover for a foster on vacation. They are both house trained and crate trained. We have a 6 yo male needing a foster. There are also schnauzers popping up in shelters that we cannot respond to.

If you would like to foster, please message us. We will send you a foster application, and set up an interview and home visit. Fosters are responsible for food, unless prescription food is needed, and love and care. The rescue takes care of vetting and grooming.

UPDATE 2/12/2023: F***y is still looking for a foster or foster to adopt situation with all female home, no children. Dogs and cats ok. The owner tried for a bit longer but as she gets more comfortable in the home she is acting out at the husband even though he is nothing but kind and patient. This is likely due to abuse or anxiety caused from the puppy mill.

F***y is a 5 year old female parti mini schnauzer looking for a foster, preferably within an hour from Laurel, MD due to vetting needed. She gets along with other dogs and cats. She was a breeder at a puppy mill. A rescuer took her in; however, F***y is afraid of her husband due to abuse in the puppy mill. So the rescuer contacted us for help. F***y is almost completely housebroken. She loves walks. She has warmed up to the rescuer/owner and follows her around everywhere. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard and another dog who is friendly and from which she can learn. The foster home should have no live in or regularly visiting males, adult or children. Since F***y had no interaction with children in the puppy mill, children in the home should be teenager or older. We want to do the best for F***y since she has been traumatized. We will consider foster to adopt after her vetting to be spayed and get a dental.

If you would like to be F***y's foster, please send us a private message.

Pictured below are Bentley and Harvey. Bentley is a 10 year old mini schnauzer who came in from a shelter and has been treated for being heartworm positive. He had to take daily medication and receive three injections, two of which required overnight stays at the vet. He also had x-rays and echocardiograms done. Bentley was neutered and had a dental once he was heartworm negative. Harvey is a 13 year old mini schnauzer who came in from a shelter as well. He had bladder stone removal surgery and a dental. He was treated for dry eye. Please help us replenish our vet fund as well as provide for more dogs like Bentley and Harvey!

We are especially sparse in western VA, southern VA, northwest MD, DE, western PA, but can use help in all areas.

If you are interested, please private message us for a volunteer application.

ADOPTED!!!

Today is National Love Your Pet Day. Gus is looking for his forever home to love him.

Gus is a 4+ yo mini schnauzer, with a natural tail, looking for a forever family in PA, DE, MD, VA, or DC who appreciates this beard! He is a friendly and sweet little guy.

He is looking for an active family who has a big fenced yard for him to run in (he loves to run) but also can take him for at least daily walks. He walks well on a leash. He is housetrained and crate trained. He loves to be petted and get belly rubs. He is somewhat anxious in the car.

Gus came to us from a local shelter as a stray. He is unpredictable with other dogs. So he is looking for a home with no other pets. He does have food aggression, which may be a result of being a stray. So it is best that children in the home are teenagers or older.

Gus is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm/Lyme testing, and preventatives. If you are interested in adopting Gus and live in our adoption area, please private message us for an adoption application.

15/02/2022

ADOPTED!!

Brody is a 1+ yo mini schnauzer looking for his forever family in PA, DE, MD, VA, or DC.

He is friendly, barky, playful and active. Due to his barking, he would do best in an active single family home with a fenced yard so he can run and be active but be walked at times when there aren't as many people and dogs out and about. He must be walked on a secured harness as he does lunge at cars on his walks. He rides well in the car.

Brody gets along with other dogs. He likes to be with his people all the time when they are home. He does not appear to have separation anxiety when his foster leaves the home and he is crated.

Brody needs an adoptive family who has time and patience to house train him. He spent the first year of his life with a family who didn't do much to train him and then dumped him in a shelter. We were notified about this situation and tracked him down. He looked like he hadn't been groomed for that whole year. His little back end was very tender from all the matts and tangles. He does not like to be touched there. He is ok with being picked up. He hates being brushed, so his family will need to work gradually on this. Due to his background, children living in the home should be teenagers.

Brody is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm/Lyme testing, and preventatives. If you are interested in adopting Brody, please private message us for an adoption application.
