BAILEY (SRC#3619) in NORTH CAROLINA

BAILEY'S OWNER GAVE HIM TO A NEIGHBOR BEFORE SRC COULD PICK HIM UP.<br/><br/>My name is Bailey and I am 8 years old. I weigh approximately 38 pounds. I am a Mini Schnauzer/American Pit Bull with Natural Ears and Tail. My color is Black with wisps of gray . I am microchipped, have all my vaccinations, am heart-worm negative, been neutered and will be evaluated for 2 - 6weeks by my foster family who are located in Belmont, NC.<br/><br/>Bailey's Story<br/><br/>BAILEY with this unique identification number: (SRC#3619) came into SRC care recently and is being prepared for adoption by a foster family who have gone thru our approval process. Bailey was owned by someone that SRC has no idea how that situation was and by the time he was 1 year old he had already been placed in his second home. Bailey is house-broken, enjoys riding in a car, is leash trained but a halter is recommended, and he is crate trained. Bailey also knows the commands of: sit, stay, down, and lay. He is basically good with other dogs yet there is one canine who is old and sickly that he does not get along with at his previous owner's home. She has several dogs so Bailey did not get as much attention as he wanted yet he was good with the other dogs in that home. His previous owner told SRC this about Bailey: "Bailey is truly loving and affectionate. If you sat and petted him, he would stay there all day. He really just wants attention and your time. He doesn't get excited when he sees children, he basically just ignores them. I think he would do great with an older couple, in a quiet home. He loves other dogs but he does not like to share attention (he just pouts), he would be happy as the only dog in his household" . As far as his traits that are not very desirable: he tends to dig in the yard when left alone outside because he will get bored. SRC never recommends that any canine should be left alone in the yard without his humans. There was one of the dogs SRC had adopted to someone who left him out in the yard while she went to the store. She came back within 20 minutes and it was fortunate that she did because her beloved Mini had been bitten by a rattlesnake. Had she not rushed him to the vet immediately he would have died because it was a fatal bite. SRC requests that Bailey be placed in a home without other dogs or children. He is a good watch-dog and would love having a retired couple who would be with him more than he has been with his previous family members. Bailey has been alone in his previous home for up to 8 - 9 hours daily and he is unhappy in that situation. He has had one aggressive situation with the previous owner's ex-husband who yelled at him and backed him into a corner. He reacted negatively but did not break skin -- honestly had it been one of SRC's Volunteers placed in that situation, they probably would have done more than just growl and nip at that ex-husband. His leaving helped to calm Bailey quite a bit. He has been with many other dogs so the attention he has gotten this far is probably minimal so he will be thrilled to have his new human family all to himself! We at SRC just want him to have that loving home he/she deserves.<br/><br/>Bailey is heart-worm tested (negative),, vaccinations brought up to date on March 12, 2026, neutered, yet he is not yet0 micro-chipped A micro-chip will be provided to his adoptive family so that he may be micro-chipped. It is anticipated that this dog will be released for adoption by the same date as the completion of his Evaluation by his foster mom. The date of release of this dog is at the discretion of the SRC Core Team.<br/><br/>THIS DOG IS BEING FOSTERED IN BELMONT, NC AND YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THAT LOCATION IN ORDER TO PICK BAILEY UP THERE WHEN HE E IS ADOPTED.<br/><br/>Tax-deductible donation requested at time of adoption for this dog is $500<br/><br/>PLEASE READ PRIOR TO APPLYING<br/><br/>When ready for adoption, this canine will have been evaluated for at least two weeks by loving SRC foster parents who will be able to give the adoptive parents their opinion about the demeanor of the family companion prior to the adoptive parents finalizing their adoption of this canine. All our SRC volunteers strive to do this for the well-being of their rescued canine and to assure a successful adoption. It is our worthy mission to assure that each canine rescued by SRC is placed in a loving, stable and permanent home whose family members will treat it as a beloved member of their immediate family. We are prepared to assure that all of our rescued dogs are in great homes or we will reclaim them if necessary.<br/><br/>SRC’s rescued dogs are placed in foster homes throughout NC, SC, TN, and VA until they are adopted. These same states are SRC's approved adoption areas so please do not apply unless you live in one of these states. You must be willing to drive to the dog's foster home in order to adopt the canine. The location of each dog is listed at the bottom of its bio.<br/><br/>BEFORE meeting an SRC dog, you must be approved to adopt by our Placement Team. Our downloadable Adoption Application is on the Homepage of our Website where you may also find our Foster Application and Volunteer Application should you want to use these instead. Here is the address of our Homepage for you:<br/>@<br/><br/>https://schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org/<br/><br/>Once you have completed the adoption application, please include your vet medical records along with photos of your home (interior and exterior including your yard) -- these may be used in lieu of a home visit due to the problems with issues with the previous pandemic causing SRC to lose many of it's Volunteers. These changes have been initiated for the protection of our applicants and for our volunteers while we are dealing with Covid-19. Once the virus has subsided to the point that people are not dying with this horrific virus, SRC will go back to our standard protocol with home visits being conducted when enough Volunteers are available. These will not be done until contagion is not an issue. The revised documentation may be submitted via email and/or fax (1-910-401-1317). You may request an Adoption Application to email address:<br/>mcguirea493@gmail.com<br/><br/>Upon receipt of your application, your medical records, and photos of your home (interior and exterior), the entire file will be processed and reviewed by the Core Team which may take up to seven days, depending on your location and the number of applications being processed at that time. Satisfactory files will also be reviewed by foster parent. Someone from the Core Team along with the Foster Parent will be in touch with you to ask any questions that might be outstanding and to answer any questions you may have. At that point an adoption may be discussed and arranged.<br/><br/>Please plan on welcoming your new dog into your home within two weeks after approval and the receipt of the signed adoption contract and the requested donation. We cannot hold dogs because this limits our intake of others in need; SRC adopts them out on a first-come, first-serve basis based on a completed approved adoption process. If you are unable to accept your adopted dog within this time frame then SRC will go to the next approval and place with someone able to give the rescue a home within the proper time frame.<br/><br/>SRC does not ordinarily adopt its dogs to families with children under ten years of age. Exceptions are sometimes made on a case by case basis but only when the dog has been raised with children and the children are very respectful of animals. This is for the protection of the dogs and for the protection of the children.<br/><br/>Procedures will be explained to you at the time of approval regarding the necessary donation and the adoption contract. Your donation is made in honor of the adoption of your new family companion and is never a purchase of an animal. This tax deductible donation goes forward to help incoming rescued dogs. Our average total expense per dog includes but is not limited to the list of expenses shown below.<br/><br/>Here is a break-down of the average expenses spent on SRC dogs to assure they remain healthy and happy as they are prepared for adoption:<br/><br/>Office Visit $45-75; Fecal $14-45; Rabies $14-45; DHPP $14-45; Bordatella $14-45; Heart-worm, Lyme, Ehrliccia Testing $30-55; Heart-worm<br/>Preventative $70 per month; Spay or Neuter $300-$700; Total Basic Vetting $478- $765; ADDITIONAL VETTING: Teeth Cleaning/Dental $300 - $1550; Blood Panel $120 -$185; Cherry Eye $300-$700; Urinary Tract Infection $90-$450; Heart-worm Treatment $300-$1200; Luxating Patellas $1,800 per leg; Cruciate Surgery $1,200 per leg; Entropian Surgery $250-$500; Demodectic Mange $200 per month; X-Ray $80 - $120; Ultrasound: $550; Cataract Surgery $1800 - $3500; Boarding $450 per month per dog<br/><br/>SRC wants to thank you for your interest in our rescued dogs. We put our heart and souls into saving their lives. Often the medical expense, time and effort expended to help these dogs, far outweighs the minimal donation requested to adopt these innocent ones. Please understand SRC is limited in the number of dogs in our safe haven and if you are not selected to adopt one of them, it is not a reflection on your ability to provide a good home for a canine, simply our lack of ability to provide for the overwhelming demand from applicants. SRC urges you to pursue rescue -- it is definitely a worthy mission even if you do not adopt from SRC.
