VSGSR expenses with the numerous rescues has been more than we imagined, although it was well worth the expense - lives were saved and the majority are in wonderful happy homes. Although some are still struggling to learn to cope with "life on the outside," as it were thanks to some wonderful foster homes. So it's time for us to do a little fundraising, and we're doing that with the help of PetSmart.

On February 21, 2010 at Tempe Town Lake, PetSmart Charities will be hosting a PetWalk to raise much needed funds for homeless pets. We would love to have you walk with us, but if you cannot walk with us, a donation would be a wonderful thing :o) We get to keep 100% of our donations. We will later post a direct link to the Petsmart page where you can register and walk with us.

We also will happily accept donations either mailed directly to us or by using paypal. Please use our email address of phxgsrescue@hotmail.com to make a paypal donation. Thank you very much for your support.

Welcome to Our Website

Valley of the Sun Giant Schnauzer Rescue began in 2002 with a cluster of people who connected via the Internet and with the encouragement of the local Miniature Schnauzer Group. Our little group expanded as more Giant Schnauzer owners became involved and gave of their time. We are all interested in educating people about Giant Schnauzers and saving as many Giants as we can. Our dogs are vet checked, micro chipped and fostered to discover their habits. Then we look for suitable homes to match each individual dog.

We are very proud of our group, and we volunteer our time out of love of the breed. VSGSR was incorporated in December 2003 and achieved 501(c)(3) status in April of 2004. Many local rescue groups helped us with the information we needed to put together our paperwork.

VSGSR networks nationwide with other Giant Schnauzer Rescues. We also partner with Maricopa Animal Care and Control as a New Hope partner, and we are members of the Coalition of All Breed Rescue in Arizona (CABRA).

Fundraising efforts include: annual Giant Schnauzer Fun Day, Pets911 events, Ebay auctions and other sales of our artists’ work, and private donations.

Our Mission is to rescue Giant Schnauzers in need, provide medical care when necessary, and find foster care placements where these dogs can begin the process of finding a forever home. Ultimately, we hope to find permanent homes that are best suited to each dog where they may live out their lives in a happy, healthy and loving environment.

We will also educate the public about the Giant Schnauzer breed, the need to spay and neuter dogs and cats, and the proper care, training, and diet for the breed.
