We have a new little guy, Roscoe, who is going to need some extra help. He is only ten months old and was turned into a shelter. At this point we don't know all that he will need. He has had lumps removed from his head and is favoring a hind leg. But he is extremely sweet and loving. You can see his picture under adoptable pets.
Our new boy Aiden who was a stray and found in eastern New Mexico is also going to have to have hip surgery on both hips. He doesn't know he has a problem at this point. We are guessing that he is 4-6 years old. His hips are deformed but surgery will allow him to live a relatively normal life. He is a lovely boy and enjoys life immensely.

Valley of the Sun Giant Schnauzer Rescue is a group of volunteers who are interested in educating people about giant schnauzers. We take in giant schnauzers who need a forever home. Our dogs are fostered to learn about them, vet checked, microchipped, spayed or neutered if not already, and then we look for new homes for them.
We raise money for our Valley of the Sun Giant Schnauzer Rescue on Ebay. You can go to http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgiantschnauzerrescue to see what items we have listed to benefit rescue. We have a lot of unique art work that our members and supporters do to help us fund rescue. We also accept Paypal donations using the phxgsrescue@hotmail.com as our email address.
If we don't have a giant in rescue right now, we do work with other rescue groups around the country and will forward your application to the appropriate rescue group.
We are looking for foster homes for giant schnauzers. We need homes that are experienced with large dominant breeds. Several of these dogs do just fine with other dogs and others don't. They don't because they have been kenneled most of their lives and used for breeding purposes. They just need some time and some love and someone to act as alpha with them until they learn the ropes. Please contact us at phxgsrescue@hotmail.com if you might be interested or know someone who might be interested in fostering.
Adopting a friend
We have an application that needs to be filled out and that can be done at www.vsgiantschnauzerrescue.org We do home checks before adoptions are completed. Please visit our website to fill out an application to adopt a giant schnauzer. Our adoption fees range from $250 to $450. Most of our dogs are placed in the state of Arizona, but we will sometimes under special circumstances adopt elsewhere. If the giant needs to be transported, those costs will be up to the adopter. We do homechecks and will find someone in your area to do the homecheck and also to act as a backup for us in case the adoption should not work out.
Come Visit Us!
We are always looking for people who would like to be involved in rescue in some way. Whether it is helping us foster, transport, take the dogs to classes, work on fundraising, work on our website, and many other ways. If you are interested in helping in any way, please email us at phxgsrescue@hotmail.com. We would love to hear from you. Email is the best way to contact us at phxgsrescue@hotmail.com
