PAWSibilities, the Humane Society of Greater Akron, is looking for homes for 56 purebred miniature schnauzers recently rescued.
The dogs were recently surrendered to the agency by a breeder who became unable to continue caring for them, the society said.
“Rather than sell these full-bred dogs, he chose to surrender them to the PAWSibilities, Humane Society of Greater Akron to ensure that they receive proper care and are placed in loving homes,” the agency said.
The hypoallergenic dogs range in age from 1 year to 14 years. They are a variety of colors, including white, black, salt and pepper as well as black and silver. Some schnauzers are available for adoption immediately, while others need additional medical care before they are ready for their forever homes, the agency said. Each schnauzer’s adoption fee includes one free seminar on socialization by a certified trainer. Prior to adoption each dog will be spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, and microchipped as well as behaviorally accessed to ensure the best placement.
At this time, the society said it is looking for “big-hearted adopters with low traffic, adult only homes willing to invest the time and understanding into these shy ‘diamonds in the ruff.’ ”
“Although we are so very full right now, we knew we had to help these miniature schnauzers embark on their new lives. We are relying on the community members to open their hearts and homes over the next few weeks for these schnauzers and all the other animals currently in our care,” said President/CEO Diane Johnson. “Please consider adopting or donating to help us in this lifesaving work of caring for these rescued animals.”
The agency is in immediate need of community support and funds to help care for the schnauzers and the hundreds of other animals waiting for forever homes. Monetary donations can be made securely at www.summithumane.org or can be mailed to 7996 Darrow Road, Twinsburg, OH 44087.
The society is also hosting a Labor of Love adoption event Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The adoptions fees will be significantly reduced for the event.
