Our adoption process at Southern Sky Miniature Schnauzers is designed to ensure each puppy is matched with a loving, well-prepared home. We begin with a simple adoption application so we can learn about your lifestyle, experience with dogs, and what you’re looking for in a companion. Once approved, families are added to our waiting list or matched with an available puppy, and we provide updates as your puppy grows.
To reserve a puppy, we require a $300 non-refundable deposit, which is applied toward the total purchase price. Our puppies typically range from $1,800 – $2,100, with blue-eyed puppies generally priced $100 higher due to their unique appearance. We also offer a convenient pay-as-you-wait option, allowing families on our waiting list to make gradual payments toward their puppy before pickup.
Before placement, all families review and sign our adoption contract, which outlines care expectations, health information, and policies designed to protect both the puppy and its new family. When the time comes, we guide you through final details, pickup or delivery arrangements, and ongoing support to help your new Miniature Schnauzer transition smoothly into your home. Our goal is not just placing puppies — it’s creating lifelong, happy matches for both our puppies and their families.

What is the adoption process?
The adoption process begins with an inquiry where you can ask questions about our puppies. After that, if you decide to adopt, we will guide you through the necessary paperwork and provide information on care and training. We want to ensure that you and your new puppy are a perfect match!
What should I prepare before adopting a puppy?
Before adopting a puppy, ensure you have a safe space for them at home, including a bed, food and water bowls, and toys. It’s also important to have a vet lined up for health check-ups and vaccinations. Consider puppy-proofing your home to keep your new friend safe and happy. Being prepared will help your puppy adjust smoothly to their new environment.
How do I know if a Miniature Schnauzer is right for me?
Miniature Schnauzers are known for their friendly and energetic nature, making them great family pets. They require regular grooming and exercise, so consider your lifestyle and ability to meet these needs. If you enjoy an active lifestyle and want a loyal companion, a Miniature Schnauzer could be a perfect fit for you. Researching the breed will help you make an informed decision.
What is included in the adoption fee?
Our adoption fee includes everything your puppy needs for a healthy and happy start. Each puppy receives all age-appropriate vaccinations and dewormings before going home. Puppies also come with a starter bag that includes a small supply of their current food, a blanket with familiar scents, a toy, and a folder containing important paperwork along with some helpful information we’ve found valuable for new owners. In addition, the adoption fee covers dew claw removal, tail docking, and microchipping for added safety and identification.
Can I return the puppy if it doesn’t work out?
Yes, we understand that life circumstances can sometimes change. If you find that your adoption isn’t working out, please contact us as soon as possible so we can discuss the situation. We are committed to the lifelong well-being of our puppies and will work with you to find the best solution, which may include the puppy returning to us. While we are always here to help, adoption fees are non-refundable. Our priority is ensuring every puppy remains safe, loved, and properly cared for.

After adoption, we provide ongoing support to help you with any questions or concerns. You can reach out to us for advice on training, health, and care. We want to ensure that you and your puppy have a happy and fulfilling life together, and we are here to assist you every step of the way.
