We know there are many charities you could choose to support and we are humbled you'v chosen Schnauzerfest. Times are more difficult now in animal rescue than many have ever known. It is a genuine crisis. Your donations help by paying the vet bills for rescued dogs. For a single dog these can easily run into thousands of pounds. We also support dogs post adoption if insurance cover is not available, which can be the case for conditions commonly affecting dogs from bad backgrounds such as neglect, puppy farming and abuse. Your donations help to provide a lifeline for rescuers, fosterers and adopters. You have never been more needed. At the heart of Schnauzerfest is a commitment to raising awareness of the exploitative commercial dog breeding industry and promoting the joys of adoption. Your donations support this vital work.
