My name is TANK (SRC#2160) and in March of 2023, I will be 9 years old. I have developed serious eye and mouth infections which will require continuous medication for months and possibly the remainder of my lifetime so it has been determined that I should be a HOSPICE DOG for SRC. I am going to receive constant care from my SRC vet and my current foster mom, Alva Winchester who has assumed the responsibility for my expenses. She has come to love me and so has my vet so I will be given lots of loving care for the remainder of my lifetime.<br/><br/>I was retired from a breeder since I had helped to breed many puppies who went to loving homes now it is time for me to retire and become someone's sweet loving adopted family companion. I weigh 14 1/2 pounds, am house-broken, micro-chipped, have all my vaccinations, have been neutered and have been evaluated for a minimum of 4 months by my foster family who have gone through SRC's approval process. My foster family is located in Bryson City, NC. I am great with other dogs and once I get to know you, I will be a sweet little lap dog. I am a handsome liver color and am crate trained. My foster parents have worked with me on leash training so I should make a wonderful family companion.<br/><br/>TANK (SRC#2160)'s Story<br/><br/>TANK with this unique identification number: (SRC#2160 ) came into SRC custody and care a few weeks ago. Requiring constant vetting this dog had been prepared for adoption by a foster family who has gone thru our approval process but he became very ill . Still Tank loves his walks and enjoys his toys. TANK is a little fearful of strangers until he gets to know you and then he is fine with people. He needs to be approached slowly so that he has ample time to adjust to you prior to being pushed too hard. Once he has time to accept you he is very friendly. Tank is housebroken, and leash-trained.<br/><br/>Now on Hospice Care, this dog is heart-worm negative, de-wormed, vaccinations brought up to date, neutered, medication for his eyes and mouth on a daily basis, micro-chipped, examined fully by a vet and any necessary medical issues found by this vet will have been addressed. It is anticipated that this dog will never be released for adoption due to his medical condition. He will be cared for with love and compassion until he crosses the Rainbow Bridge.<br/><br/>DONATIONS FOR HIS CARE ARE APPRECIATED.<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/>https://schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org/<br/><br/>Once you have completed the 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 pandemic. 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. 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 at our email address:<br/>adoptions@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org<br/><br/>Please plan on welcoming your new dog into your home within two weeks after approval. 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 donation and 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 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.
