SRC is an all-volunteer 501c3 non-profit rescue organization with an average of 100 volunteers in all areas of assistance. This reputable organization has rescued over 4550 canines since our incorporation in June, 2003. Their primary purpose is help save homeless and endangered Schnauzers (Mini, Standard, or Giant plus other breeds of canines who are in desperate need of help) from abuse, neglect and/or euthanasia. Their policy is to assure each dog they rescue receives necessary medical care tailored to its needs from an SRC vet, and also be micro-chipped for its future protection. Once vetted, the rescue will spend a minimum of two weeks being evaluated in SRC's pre-qualified loving foster homes selected to assure that all its medical and emotional needs are met in preparation for adoption into a loving permanent approved applicant's home suitable to each one's specific needs. Each potential home is stringently investigated by vet references and home visits in order to assure it is well prepared to provide a stable environment for the remainder of the dog's lifetime.
