Schnauzer Rescue Cincinnati and Florida
Visitors
SRC began in 2004 with our first rescue, Sarge. He was 9 yrs old and diabetic when we took him in. Not only was he our first rescue, but lovingly became our mascot as well.
Sadly, we lost Sarge at the age of 13 in July 2008 to diabetes. He will always live in our hearts and his spirit keeps us strong and determined to leave no schnauzer left behind.

Schnauzer Rescue Cincinnati was founded in November of 2004. I felt that there was a need for a rescue group that would take schnauzer mixes, regardless of there age or medical condition. Anyone can adopt out a young healthy dog, but, in my mind, the special needs and senior dogs need the most help. I have been fortunate enough to find our wonderful group of volunteers that have made us so successful. We all work hard and I think that our results show it. Our newsletter says it all for us, SRCnoschnauzerleftbehind.
We currently have members in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Delaware and Florida. Our goal is to help all of those that we can. We are proud to work with other rescue groups in our mission of saving dogs.

Schnauzer Care
Take a moment out of your busy day to PAUSE for PAWS and donate your used or new dog related items to dogs in need.
Every day SCHNAUZER RESCUE CINCINNATI saves dogs that have nothing, not even food.
Many come into our rescue starved and in need of immediate medical care.
Whether it is a donation of used or new dog related items or dog food, it will make a difference to a life in need.
All of these dogs have had no voice to the painful suffering they have endured and deserve a second chance in life.
Give them a fresh start and a chance to become happy again by donating items or sponsoring them. Please contact Amy at:

HOW SRC/FLORIDA DETERMINES ADOPTION FEES
Lately, especially with todays economy, we have been getting comments about our adoption fees and how we arrive at that figure. "Your fees are higher than if I bought from a breeder". "If you were really concerned about placing these dogs, you would ask a lower fee". "Why are your fees higher than a shelter"??
These questions are relevant and we understand. Let me share with you the answers to these questions.
We are a non-profit, no kill rescue. For over 5 years, we have been committed to the never ending and sometimes overwhelming job of rescuing homeless schnauzers. We do not have a brick and mortar rescue. Each dog is placed into a loving and caring foster home until they can be adopted. Every member of SRC/Florida is a volunteer who gives their time unselfishly to save the lives of these dogs.
It is very important to remember that our fee includes the spay/neuter, all updated vaccinations, a dental when necessary,and a heartworm and fecal test. Therefore, our fee cannot be compared to that of a breeder or other rescue organizations. As a general rule, our dogs come to the adopter well socialized, partially or fully housetrained, leash trained, and sometimes crate trained. The foster family knows the temperament and behavior of the dog very well, and we try our very best to match the dog to the best forever home. When you purchase from a puppy mill or breeder, there is alot of expense in those first few years and you know very little about the personality of the dog.
The dollar amount that we charge for our adoption fee does not even come close to covering our vet bills. Many rescues only take in the healthy, young and "easy" dogs. Our motto of "No Schnauzer Left Behind" is just not mere words. We feel that each and every schnauzer is deserving of a forever home. Some of our rescues require expensive heartworm treatments, while some others require extensive surgeries. The veterinary needs of our schnauzers result in thousands of dollars per year, usually above what we charge in adoption fees. To supplement our medical fund, we rely on fundraisers throughout the year and donations from volunteers, friends, family and past adopters.
Yes, you may be able to adopt a dog from a shelter at a lower price because they haven't spent any money on it and because shelters run on tax dollars. But the low fee at a shelter masks the number of dogs put down because they were sick or injured and only needed a little money and time.
We are in a difficult position. Today's economy has impacted people's ability to adopt or donate to our cause. We could lower our fees, but that requires us to be very selective in our rescue efforts. We know that adopting from SRC/Florida is not for everyone. The caring and loving people that adopt rescues see a bigger picture. It's about saving the life of an animal that may have been euthanized just for space at a shelter or not contributing to the vast pet overpopulation that is currently out of control.
There are many caring and kind people volunteering with SRC/Florida. We are not in this business to make a profit, we are here for the dogs. We know that you had a choice and we truly appreciate each and every one of our adopters, volunteers and supporters. Please spend a few minutes checking out our website to learn more about our dogs and our rescue efforts.
And in the meantime, please say a prayer for our rescued schnauzers and the compassionate volunteers who are working diligently to find them loving homes.
