Special Needs Dogs

Special Needs Dogs of the Month!

Please consider contributing to our medical fund. We have many senior (12 and older), diabetic, vision impaired, tripods, and one in a wheelchair. We don’t turn a schnauzer in need down. Many of our special need schnauzers never get adopted, we care and love them in a foster homes for their natural lives. Thanks for donating to SRC. The pups below are just a few of the newest schnauzers in need.

Hi! My name is Liam.

Liam Needs Us... and we now need you!
Today, Schnauzer Rescue Cincinnati welcomed one of the most heartbreaking neglect cases we’ve seen in a very long time. Meet Liam, an 8-year-old Westie.
A Good Samaritan found this little guy wandering alone through a neighborhood. He was severely matted, completely covered in fleas and flea dirt, and suffering from painfully inflamed, infected, leathery skin. He was struggling to breathe and scratching himself relentlessly in an attempt to find relief. His teeth... worn down to the gum line, a heartbreaking reminder that this neglect has likely been going on for years.
After bringing him into rescue this morning, one of our incredible foster volunteers immediately began grooming him. It took four baths, a Capstar treatment, and hours of gentle care just to remove the fleas and years of filth. Even after taking breaks, he scratched himself so severely that he began bleeding.
We knew he couldn’t wait. We rushed him to the emergency veterinarian, where we finally began to understand the extent of his suffering.

A boy that is as sweet as the come despite the neglect he has suffered.

The exam revealed severe skin disease, bilateral ear infections, one ear with a hematoma from chronic infections, dry eye, raspy and labored breathing, and constant urine dribbling that requires additional diagnostics to assure he didn’t have stones. Today he underwent bloodwork, urinalysis, X-rays, eye testing, and a cardiac evaluation.
In just one day, Liam’s veterinary care has already exceeded $1,500... and this is only the beginning.
He still needs medications, continued diagnostics, treatment for his skin and ears, follow-up care, and once he’s healthy enough, a dental, neuter, and microchip.
We never turn our backs on dogs like Liam, but we can’t do this alone. Today, we’re asking for your help.
Every donation, whether it’s $5, $25, $50, or more, will go directly toward Liam’s medical care and recovery. If you’re unable to donate financially, we’ll also be posting a wish list of supplies to help with his daily care.
Liam didn’t choose this life. He didn’t choose to suffer in silence. But together, we can make sure the rest of his life is filled with comfort, compassion, and love instead of pain.
Please consider making a donation today and sharing Liam’s story. Every share helps us reach someone who may be able to change his future.
From all of us at Schnauzer Rescue Cincinnati, thank you for believing that every dog deserves a second chance.
Together, we can give Liam the life he has always deserved.

Hi! My name is Teddy.

Meet this special little 2-year-old boy.
Teddy’s story began when he was found wandering the streets and was thankfully picked up by a Good Samaritan. From the beginning, we knew there was something a little different about him. He would frequently circle, had an unsteady gait, and showed signs of neurological challenges.
But this little guy doesn’t let that stop him!
Since coming into rescue, he has been learning, growing, and absolutely thriving. He may not always walk in a perfectly straight line and he has a few adorable little quirks, but he has made tremendous progress–including learning how to navigate stairs!
He absolutely LOVES other dogs and playing with his canine friends. Having another confident dog around seems to help him tremendously. New situations can be difficult for him, and he needs a lot of patience and time to adjust. He also has some difficulty settling down at night and is still learning what it means to relax and feel secure.
What he needs most is consistency and a family that understands his needs. It is for that reason that  we have chosen to make Teddy a permanent SRC foster. Change would be just a bit too much for this little guy.
