About this shelter

Schnauzer Friends Rescue and Adoption Louisville in Louisville, KY

Schnauzer Friends Rescue and Adoption Louisville is a rescue organization based in Louisville, Kentucky, in Jefferson County, roughly 7 miles west of the city, where 13 other animal shelters or rescues also operate. It is part of Schnauzer Friends for Rescue and Adoption (SFRA), an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated exclusively to Miniature Schnauzers, founded in 1996 to save lives through shelter partnerships and spay/neuter efforts. Each rescued dog receives vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention, spay or neuter surgery, microchipping, and any needed medical care, along with foster-home socialization and housebreaking before being carefully matched with a screened adoptive family. The organization relies entirely on public donations and fundraisers like its Midwest SchnauzerFest, charging a $300 adoption fee with a Seniors to Seniors program for older adopters.
