Meet JAX SRC#2199 in NORTH CAROLINA

My name is JAX  and I am  approximately 18 months old according to my vet.  I weigh approximately 17 to 18 pounds.  I am a  Mini Schnauzer  / Terrier mix with Natural Ears and a Natural Tail.  My color is  Black with wisps of White.  I am micro-chipped, have all my vaccinations, am heart-worm negative, been neutered, am housebroken, crate trained, and been evaluated for more than a month by my foster family who are located in Winston Salem, North Carolina.  Jax's  Story  JAX with this unique identification number: (SRC# 2199) came into SRC care  when his foster mom found him in a pitiful situation.  This situation broke our hearts and we know that you will be horrified by his early treatment! Fortunately she found this baby and he is being  prepared for adoption by his  foster family who have gone thru our approval process.   We at SRC just want  Jax  to have the loving home he deserves.  Here is information about the beginning of Jax's life before he came to SRC: As a tiny puppy Jax obviously had been given love and training yet something in the beginning of his life, his beloved human decided they no longer wanted him.  He was taken to a wooded area and dumped with nothing to assure he would live.  Jax is very intelligent and determined to live.  He probably believed that the human that had trained him and given him love would be back so he suffered through dangerously frigid cold with no food.  This amazing little boy found a deceased deer and cuddled up to it for warmth to survive, and most likely substance. Jax watched and waited, losing weight and developing skin issues due to the freezing weather and parasites he could not fight off as his health weakened day by day.  As hope was almost gone, an SRC volunteer saw him and recognized his plight.  Jax barked at her in hopes that she would help him because hope was almost gone.  He ran to her and she scooped up the pitiful little bundle who was thrilled for help!  Jax rode well, proved to be already housebroken and the most loving little dog anyone could ask for!  He was treated for the skin issues by the vet, and given the necessary vaccines.  When Jax was strong enough he was neutered.  He is such an intelligent and cuddly little boy that if she did not already have her limit of canine family, he would have become another family member.  Still she has given him excellent   care and prepared him for a loving family that will never abandon him.  Jax will make a fantastic family dog.  Being abandoned as a baby the way he was has not made Jax bitter in any way.  He is the perfect little boy!    When ready for adoption this dog will be heart-worm  tested (negative), de-wormed, vaccinations brought up to date,  spayed/neutered if not done already, 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 be released for adoption by the same date as the completion of the Evaluation. The date of release of this dog is at the discretion of the SRC Core Team.    THIS DOG IS BEING FOSTERED IN  WINSTON SALEM, NC  AND YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THAT LOCATION IN ORDER TO PICK THE DOG UP THERE WHEN HE/SHE IS ADOPTED. Tax-deductible donation requested at time of adoption for this dog is $ 450 PLEASE READ PRIOR TO APPLYING 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. 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. 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:    @    https://schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org/      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 to email address:  [email protected] 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. 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. 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. 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. 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: 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  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.  

Adoption Process
Our adoption process includes an application which is reviewed, then a vet and or personal reference. If this is satisfactory, then an informal home visit is conducted -- when this is approved an adoption contract is reviewed and signed. A tax deductible donation is requested which seldom covers the medical charges of the canine which has been readied for its new home. Each rescued dog is also evaluated for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to adoption and its medical needs are met, sometimes to include restoring vision when they have juvenile cataracts, removing bladders stones, doing dentals, micro-chipping, etc.
