Occasionally, the Potomac Valley Standard Schnauzer Club (PVSSC) has an adult Standard Schnauzer who needs a new home. These are excellent dogs who have lost their homes through no fault of their own. Homes can be lost through death, divorce, relocation, illness, or many other reasons. A “ready made dog” can be a wonderful choice for the first-time owner or the family that doesn’t have time to train a puppy.

ADOPTING AN ADULT HAS MANY ADVANTAGES

These older dogs are usually housebroken, lead trained, or even obedience trained. They are usually nice about being brushed and combed. Lots of patience is required, however, for the first few weeks. The dog will feel confused and lonesome for his old family, but will quickly love his new family given a little patience.
