Adopt a Schnauzer in Virginia

Schnauzers are spirited, intelligent, and alert dogs with distinctive whiskered faces. They appear in rescue when owners can't keep up with grooming or training. A rescued Schnauzer makes a devoted, watchful, and surprisingly funny companion.

Virginia's rescue dog community is active across the DC suburbs, Richmond, Norfolk, and Roanoke. The state has both high-need rural shelters and well-organized urban rescues. A rescued Virginia dog often comes through one of these active organizations.
