Description
In 1986, my husband and I were a foster home for a rescue group that rehomes both cats and dogs. About that same time, my friend, Mary Gaffney of Great Dane Rescue, who was also a foster mom with the same group, asked if I wanted to attend a meeting of a group called C.A.P.E.R., an umbrella group for breed-specific rescues. I went, not realizing where it would lead me.
After the meeting, Mary suggested I start a Miniature Schnauzer Rescue service since I had a Schnauzer and was acquainted with the Portland Miniature Schnauzer Club. By then, I had already rescued and adopted out the first rescue Schnauzer. (His name was Rascal P. Coldnose.) At the time, I thought it couldn't get too big – Schnauzers don't have litters of 12 and who would let go of their Schnauzer anyway?
I attended a Portland Miniature Schnauzer Club (PMSC) meeting in the spring of 1988 and presented the idea of forming a rescue group. The Club thought it was a good thing and generously offered me seed money to start the service. Mary provided our first Adoption Agreement and Release forms. As I recall, we just change "Great Dane" to say "Miniature Schnauzer" on those forms. Fortunately, there were a couple of PMSC members who volunteered to help foster our dogs.
