Great Lakes Giant Schnauzer Rescue

About

Great Lakes Giant Schnauzer Rescue was established after its co-founders felt their work was not finished and wanted to continue their rescue efforts. Thus, there was a need to fill a void and Great Lakes Giant Schnauzer Rescue was born. We are a 501c3 nonprofit rescue organization dedicated to promote the humane treatment of purebred Giant Schnauzer dogs by placing them with qualified individuals and/or families, educating the public about responsible animal stewardship, and to operate exclusively for a charitable and educational purpose. Our co-founders Mary Nichols and Lisa Armitage together have 20 year's experience working in Giant Schnauzer rescue and bring a vast wealth of knowledge to the table concerning Giant Schnauzers. We have assembled a team of volunteers who work effortlessly to get these wonderful dogs to safety and their new forever homes. Many of you have worked with us over the years and we hope you will continue to be part of our new rescue family. We believe that every dog is special and we also believe they deserve a better life. Here at Great Lakes we take the time to know our rescue dogs and our adopters so that in taking the time to make good placements, they will last forever. We do not believe in the "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" approach to rescue. We have developed a tried and true process that works and allows dogs to move to their forever homes in a reasonable amount of time, not like some rescues that leave dogs in foster care for several months.
