No Standard Schnauzer should be abandoned to a pound or to the SPCA. The Standard Schnauzer Club of Canada will assist in finding a new home for a Standard Schnauzer in need
SSCC Rescue and Re-Homing
If you are interested in providing a “forever home” to a Standard Schnauzer in need, please contact our Rescue Coordinator. Rescue situations occur when the Standard Schnauzer Club of Canada is presented with a Standard Schnauzer that needs a new home.
The reasons for a dog being placed into a rescue situation include such things as a family split up, relocation or even due to an owner illness. Or, the owners for some reason or other are just not able to apply effective training measures.
If you find yourself in a situation where you cannot keep your Standard Schnauzer (or know of someone in that situation) – you should know that it is generally best to contact the original breeder. If you have lost touch with your breeder over time, please contact the Standard Schnauzer Club of Canada and all efforts will be made to assist you.
The process of rescue and re-housing includes a questionnaire to potential adoptive homes (see below). This is of benefit to the adoptive owners and to the Standard Schnauzer in need of a new home. Efforts are always made to ensure that the transition is easiest and best for all involved.
So…Do you Really Want to Adopt a Standard Schnauzer?
A Standard Schnauzer is not for everybody, and we want to be sure that you end up happy with your adoption and the dog has a long and happy life in your care.
Standard Schnauzers are an active, athletic and above all else, a highly intelligent breed that require an owner that is able to fulfill its needs. Training and socialization are a must. Standard Schnauzers expect to be a part of the family and thrive on interaction and affection.
