Miniature Schnauzer (Medium Coat)

Description:

OWNER PLACEMENT ASSISTED BY SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS BRUTUS (SRC#3106) is the largest of the group in the Mini Schnauzers being placed from the Clayton area. He just weighed in at 27.6 pounds and he is solid as a rock! His sister, Molly (SRC#3107) and he are very bonded. She is much smaller than Brutus at approximately 15 pounds. Their human Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer so neutering and spaying the Minis was something that this family had at the time was forgotten. As a surprise, Snookie then had a litter of 5 puppies, with Brutus being the largest of all and Molly one of the smallest. All of these Schnauzers are very sweet and love to be cuddly so they gave Susan, their human Mom, great pleasure. Due to her condition, none of them were placed until after she went to be with her Lord. Her burial was on September 1, 2024 and at that time their human Dad felt it was time for them to be placed in loving homes where they would get individual attention. Their human Dad loves them with all his heart and is determined that they have the best possible future, something he will not always be able to provide. SRC is committed to helping him assure that happens. Brutus and Molly are such adorable pups, very loving and have been raised in remarkable fashion. Neither Brutus or Molly have EVER been crated. They receive bottled water to drink, and in addition to kibble and canned dogfood, their dinner meal consists of a lean meat cooked with veggies (no corn). A fenced yard is a must for Brutus and Molly. These Minis are exceptionally loving yet they have never been exposed to children, so it is best if they are placed in a home that does not have younger children. They are very bonded and do not require another dog to keep them company as long as they are together. Both these canines thrive on having ample human companionship. A fenced yard will help when training him to walk on a leash -- plus always use a halter. Brutus is now 27.6 pounds and he loves to eat! He is not fat -- just a larger Mini. Molly is a smaller mini and has walked on a leash yet it has been a while so she will need practice also and a halter will be helpful. Like all the others in this family, both Brutus and Molly are remarkable Mini Schnauzers and very intelligent! They will be an excellent addition to any loving adoptive family. Both Minis enjoy being a lap-baby and a good belly rub is never turned down. In order to adopt these Minis, you must have experience with their breed. Both dogs were just groomed and the groomer cut off what was either a mole or a cyst on the left side of Brutus' s face which bled and left a scab. His human Dad took him to the vet to have it checked -- the vet felt it was no problem and would heal well. No antibiotics were prescribed. They have always received excellent care from their human family and their new adoptive family will be getting a wonderful pair of Minis! It would be most appreciated if updates could be provided so that their loving Dad could know how they are doing on occasion. Once you have been approved for adoption, you will be put in touch with their current owner who will answer any questions you may have and you may arrange a meet and greet to see if this adoption will be workable. These dogs have been through trauma this past year losing their human mom and they are very attached to their human dad so it will take patience for them to adjust to another home so this is something that must be prepared for. Any adoption may take up to 2 weeks prior to deciding if it will be something that will work out for dogs and adopters. They will need a quiet adjustment period and may need to be retrained as to where they are to go out for potty breaks. A fenced yard will be required. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN CLAYTON, NC THE DONATION BEING REQUESTED IN HONOR OF THE ADOPTON IS: $500 each. Please submit a completed adoption application and with that application, submit vet records for any pets you have had within the last 5 years along with photos of your residence including the yard (including the fencing). The owner of this Schnauzer will review all approved applications and documentation that SRC sends to them. They will contact you to ask questions and to answer any questions you may have. At that point if a meet and greet has been scheduled, an adoption contract will be sent to you which you must sign and return to SRC. If the meet and greet goes well, your donation of $400. (tax deductible) may be made online so that the release of the Schnauzer may happen. SRC will notify the owner of this Schnauzer when the donation is completed so that they may release the Schnauzer to their new adoptive home. SRC will register his/her micro-chip in the new adoptive parents’ name(s)
