Adoption Policy

Prospective adoptive homes must meet adoption criteria. In all cases, the final placement decisions are based on the suitability of each dog for a particular home. You may request immediate adoption information by phone at 619-661-6444,  Or weekly Email response at … mags82@att.net

While we tell adopters about the behavior we observed, we cannot be sure that we have seen all aspects of the dog’s behavior, nor can we be certain that all medical conditions have been diagnosed. We therefore make no guaranties or representations as to the health, fitness, demeanor, or well-being of each dog.
A non-refundable adoption donation to Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of San Diego helps to defray a portion of the care and medical costs related to rescuing these dogs.

The person adopting the dog promises that the dog will not be sold, traded, or disposed of in any way, before informing Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of San Diego which shall hold the option of reassuming custody of the dog. Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of San Diego may examine and make inquiry regarding the dog at any time.
