Our Available Miniature Schnauzers
Saving the life of one dog isn't going to change the world,
but saving one dog's life will change the world for that dog.
Saving the life of one dog isn't going to change the world,
but saving one dog's life will change the world for that dog.
Feel free to contact the foster parent listed in the rescue’s bio for more information about that dog, BUT the FIRST step to any adoption is the completion and submission of our online application. Please CLICK HERE to complete our application to adopt.
Most of the time, the adoption fee an adopter pays does not cover the cost of the medical care these little ones need when we get them. Most need to be spayed or neutered, updated on all of their shots, and tested for heartworm. Some are sick due to improper care and need to be on medication or have other surgeries, which can be very costly. Thanks to your generosity, we can save another life and get him or her placed in a loving environment. To Sponsor a Rescue please click on the PayPal Button beneath the Rescue you wish to sponsor. It will take you to the PayPal log-in screen. The dog's name is filled in for you and you can complete the amount you wish to donate to help us out. Thank you in advance for your thoughtfulness and commitment to rescue.

Special Needs Dogs Have Love to Give, Too.
Meet Rusty
aka Vinnie
Meet Rusty
aka Vinnie
Rusty was one of our rescues. Although Rusty has already been adopted, we are posting him on this page as a representive of all Special Needs Dogs out there. Even a Special Needs Dog deserves a forever home, and even a Special Needs Dog can provide lots, and lots of love to his/her people.
This is a testimonial letter we received from the adoptee of Rusty.
Hi Nancy,
I think we have written back and forth before about his health issues with diabetes and his eyes. Just to update you, he has had diabetes for a couple years now. He is doing very well, with the exception of his eyes. Anyway what happened is, he got cataracts and within about a month of that I took him down to Ohio State Veterinary College. Unfortunately, they said he was not a good candidate for surgery, so at that time I was just given drops for his eyes. In a few months when we went for a re-check his eyes had gotten worse and they recommended completely removing them. They were bright red and looked swollen to me and basically were so inflamed that they were probably hurting him. It was a hard decision to make since I knew I would miss looking into his beautiful eyes, but we went ahead for his sake and took out both eyes. He was already blind, so it didn't really matter. Now he is doing just perfect. He gets around the house and yard, and in and out of the doggie door so well no one would know that he can't see. He has extreme sensitivity outside when we our on our walks to miss obstacles and change course so easily and is keyed to my voice so well all I have to do is say whoa and he shifts his direction.
What I wanted everyone to know is that a blind dog that has to get shots twice a day is really no problem at all. He is very easy to take care of and not seeing has not changed his personality. He still will play and wrestle with the other dogs and comes gets his loving when needed. Only thing he can't do is jump up and down from the couch or bed and yet he has done that once in a thunderstorm when he wanted down. Everything has worked out pretty good...except for my credit card of course. The operation was about $1000.00.
Hope everything is going well for the rescue group.
Take care,
Laura J.

Sponsor Samson by clicking on the PayPal Button
Hello! I am Samson... Okay...so they had to give me a really big name, because I'm a really small guy--but I've got attitude and self direction! I'm not much on cuddling or being held, BUT I'm funny, funny, funny! I love to try to play soccer with the big soccer ball in my foster home and my favorite snacks are ice cubes and carrots. Foster Dad taught me sit and down--and I'm so smart that I caught on extra fast! All SIX pounds of me! I'm 3 years old and I want to be the only kid in the house--so no children, please! If you have some patience to work with me and can handle a STRONG Schnauzer personality, I may be just the little guy for you! Samson is being fostered in Cincinnati
