How to Adopt a Mini Schnauzer Puppy

We take careful care and consideration to make sure our puppies are going to the most loving homes. The Mini Schnauzer adoption process first starts with filling out an application, once we review your application and if you are a good fit, we will contact you with instructions to make a deposit and then your puppy will be ready to go home after 8 weeks old. We’ve broken down a few more details below to help you understand how this process works.

Apply and Deposit

Puppies are only available to approved depositors.  Start by filling out a Puppy Application.

Once you are approved and have placed a deposit, you can adopt any available puppy or you may request that your name be added to the upcoming litter of your choice.

Pick positions on any upcoming litter are determined on a “first come first serve” basis (for registered depositors only).

Puppy Pick Day

Our committed depositors will choose their puppies once they reach 6 weeks and 1 day of age unless it has been arranged beforehand. This can happen if there is a limited number of puppies with desired markings. We ask that the first person picking their pup give us their choice by 10:00 am (Mountain Time Zone), then we'll proceed to the #2 depositor and so on. Usually most of our depositors are ready to give us their choice right away, so the process is usually done within a few hours. We require that all picks be confirmed by email so that there is no confusion. So, once it's your turn to pick, please email us your puppy pick and we will immediately post your choice on the litter page.

Puppy Payment

After everyone chooses their puppy, we ask you to pay the balance on your Mini Schnauzer, including shipping if applicable. You can pay by credit card (we add 3% to cover processing fees charged by our on-line merchant - PayPal ), Zelle, or you can pay by cash or check. Either way is just fine with us. When sending a check, please mail the check right away so that we can receive your check prior to shipping if applicable.

8 Weeks - Puppies go Home

Our sweet little puppies are ready to go home after 8 weeks of age. Please keep in mind that we are not able to let our puppies go home sooner than 8 weeks of age. It is important that all puppies have the opportunity to spend the first 8 weeks of their life with their mom and siblings and that they have a chance to be properly weaned between 7-8 weeks of age.
