Birdie (Humble, TX)

   
Meet Birdie, a 3-year-old, 28 lb fluffy sweetheart. They say an Irish home is filled with warmth, laughter, and love—and our sweet Bridie (pronounced Bry-dee) is looking for exactly that kind of home. This little girl has already had far too many changes in her young life. Bridie and her brother were being given away on Facebook when a rescue stepped in to help them. When that rescue later needed another organization to take over their care, SRT welcomed them in. So Bridie has been passed from place to place, through no fault of her own. With all those changes, she can be understandably shy when she first meets someone new. She needs a little time to figure out where she is and whether the people around her can be trusted. But give this girl a little patience, and the real Bridie begins to appear. And oh, is she worth waiting for. Once Bridie decides you’re one of her people, this shy little girl turns into a big, cuddly teddy bear. She’ll seek you out just to be near you, and she’s always looking for an opportunity to sneak in a few kisses. Once she’s comfortable, she also loves playing with other dogs and letting her silly, happy side come out. Bridie is house trained and kennel trained, although she would like it officially noted that the kennel is not her favorite place. She may lodge a small protest about going inside until you produce a treat. Apparently, Bridie’s principles are negotiable when snacks are involved. Bridie wasn’t particularly happy about the grooming experience, so she will need a patient groomer. After so much change, what Bridie needs now is something wonderfully simple: A person who stays. A home that becomes familiar. And a family she never has to leave again. Give her a little time to feel safe, and we think you’ll discover that underneath all that fur is one incredibly affectionate little girl who has been waiting to belong. Maybe Bridie has finally reached the end of her travels—and her next stop will be home. Complete your application under the Adopt tab and ask for Birdie. Adoption fee: $400

Dieter (Houston, TX

   

Dieter is a 3-year-old, 18 lb. Schnauzer mix. His name may mean “warrior of the people,” but don’t let that impressive name fool you. Our Dieter is much more interested in laps, kisses, friends, and a good old-fashioned case of the zoomies. Dieter and his sister, Bridie, have been on quite a journey together. They were being given away on Facebook when a rescue stepped in to help. Later, that rescue needed another organization to take over their care, and that’s when SRT welcomed Dieter and Bridie into the family. That’s a lot of change for two little dogs who didn’t get to choose any of it. But Dieter seems determined to take it all in stride. This sweetheart has settled beautifully into his foster home. He gets along with all of his foster siblings, is house-trained and kennel-trained, and has quickly discovered one of life’s greatest pleasures: a foster mom with an available lap. He also loves sitting outside on the swing with his foster mom, soaking up the fresh air and enjoying a little quiet time together. He’s the kind of boy who seems perfectly content just being wherever his person happens to be. But don’t mistake that cuddly personality for a couch potato! Every now and then, Dieter’s inner race car makes an appearance and THE ZOOMIES BEGIN and this fluffy little guy can move! One minute he’s beside you, and the next there’s a white blur racing by. Dieter has been through more changes than any dog should have to understand, but somehow he has held onto his wonderfully sweet nature. He’s affectionate, social, playful, and happiest when he’s spending time with the people and dogs around him. His name may belong to a warrior, but Dieter isn’t looking for another battle. He’s looking for a family. A lap. A swing with room for two. And a place where this little warrior can finally put down his shield and know that he’s home for good.  Ask for Dieter when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee: $400

Bronxe (Cypress, TX)

       

Sometimes, a dog doesn’t do anything wrong… life just changes around him.

Meet Bronxe, a handsome 8-year-old, 25-pound Miniature Schnauzer who recently arrived at SRT after some changes in his family  made it necessary for them to surrender him. And while giving up a beloved family member is never easy, Bronxe is now waiting for someone to show him that losing one home doesn’t mean losing his chance at a forever family. Bronxe is already proving what a wonderful companion he can be. He is currently with a foster family and recently got to go to work with his foster mom, where he was a terrific little office mate. He also went to a hunting camp, where there were four other dogs—and Bronxe handled it like a champ! He did perfectly fine around all of them and settled right in. He rides nicely in the car and is good on a leash, making him ready to join his family on adventures and errands. But there is one thing Bronxe wants you to know: he really doesn’t like being left alone. When his people leave, he makes sure everyone knows he’s not happy about it by barking.  Because of that, apartment living definitely isn’t going to work for this sweetheart. He needs a home where his family understands that he wants to be part of the action—not left behind for hours at a time. His former family has also asked that he not be placed with young children, so we’re looking for a home that can give Bronxe the environment where he feels comfortable and secure. At 8 years old, Bronxe wants what so many dogs want: a person or family to love, a comfortable place to call home, and the reassurance that he’s not going to be left behind.  Bronxe can’t understand why his world changed. But he can understand love. He can understand a soft bed. A hand reaching down to scratch his ears. A voice telling him he’s a good boy. A family who takes him along because they genuinely want him there. And, most importantly, the feeling of finally knowing: “This is my home. These are my people. And they’re keeping me.” Bronxe has plenty of love left to give. We just need to find the person who will give him the forever he deserves. Could you be Bronxe’s happily-ever-after? Ask for Bronxe when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee: $300

 

Chewey (Pearland, TX)

Meet Chewey, a 6-year-old, 12 lb Miniature Schnauzer who’s already stolen our hearts. He came into our care because his people didn’t have the time to give him the life he dreams of. He’s house-, crate-, and leash-trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. Chewey loves cuddles, car rides, and being your loyal lap buddy. He’s great with older children and gets along with dogs and even cats. The only thing that makes him a bit nervous is thunder—so a calm, patient home would be perfect. If your family has time for this sweet guy, please consider giving Chewey the forever home he deserves.   He’s wonderfully affectionate, a true little gentleman, and his big heart shines brightest when he’s by your side.  If you can open your home and your heart, ask for Chewey when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee: $300

Theo the Leo (Sugarland, TX)

   

Meet Theo, a sweet 4-year-old golden doodle who weighs in at 49 pounds of pure potential and love. His story is one that tugs at the heartstrings: this fantastic fellow was turned in to us, not because of any fault of his own, but simply due to a lack of time from his previous owners. Despite this heartbreak, Theo remains a beacon of joy and resilience. Theo is a gentle soul who thrives in the company of other dogs and adores children. He’s a pro in the car and is a dream to groom and bathe, making the grooming experience feel like a special spa day rather than a chore. When Theo arrived, we had high hopes of a handsome golden coat, but what we found was a loving friend hiding beneath a sea of painful mats. He may not look his best right now, but beneath this temporary “naked” appearance lies a spirit just waiting to shine. If that wasn’t enough, we discovered that Theo has a broken femur that healed incorrectly. Sadly, it’s too late for corrective surgery—attempting it could cause more harm than good. Yet, remarkably, this doesn’t hold him back. He moves with a surprising grace and calmness that belies his painful past, and his spirit continues to soar. Theo is not just looking for a home; he’s searching for a family—a place where he can pour out the love he’s so ready to give. He’s the kind of dog who will curl up next to you on the couch, the one who will turn your worst days into brighter ones just by being there. Please consider opening your heart and home to Theo. He’s waiting for someone to see past his scars and believe in the beautiful life he has yet to live. Fill out an application today and help us write the next chapter in Theo’s life—one filled with love, care, and endless cuddles. He deserves it, and so do you. Adoption fee: $400

Deena Avery (Hockley, TX)

      

Introducing the adorable Davis Avery—a charming 1-year-old, 10 lb. Schnauzer mix who has already captured hearts despite a rough start. Along with six of her furry friends, Deena was found abandoned in a remote area, but luck smiled upon them when a kindhearted stranger came to the rescue! Deena is currently settling into her new foster home with Schnauzer Rescue, where her wonderful foster dad is excited to update you on her personality as he gets to know her better. What we do know is that this little lady has a gentle soul. Initially a bit shy, Deena takes her time adjusting to new experiences and is learning to trust—sometimes hesitating to take treats from your hand and still figuring out the joys of lap cuddles. But don’t worry; once she’s comfortable, she’ll snuggle up close and drift off to dreamland in your arms. Deena has a curious nature and loves to follow her buddy Imogen around, although she prefers to keep her meals to herself—she’s too polite to fight for her food! This adorable little follower is looking for a patient and loving home that can guide him as she blossoms into the affectionate companion we know she can be.Could you be the special someone DeenaAvery has been waiting for? If you’re interested in bringing this sweet pup into your life, ask for her when you fill out your application under the “Adopt” tab. Adoption fee: $400

Captain Skipper (Montgomery, TX)

       
⚓ All aboard! Meet Captain Skipper! ⚓
Captain Skipper is a handsome 5-year-old, 12-pound Miniature Schnauzer who was rescued from a local shelter and is now enjoying the good life with his foster family. He’s soaking up all the TLC and showing everyone what a sweet little guy he really is! Skipper is settling in beautifully. He sleeps like a champ in his crate with no accidents and appears to be house-trained. He’s also discovering the fun of toys and is beginning to show his playful side. And when playtime is over? This boy is happy to be a little snuggle bug and enjoy some quality time with his people. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, although he can occasionally be a bit vocal with the bigger dogs—especially when he first comes out of his crate. Once he settles in, he does well with his canine friends. Skipper is also a true Schnauzer at heart and has discovered one of his favorite hobbies: squirrel patrol! He definitely thinks chasing squirrels is serious business! Captain Skipper is a sweet boy who is learning, growing in confidence, and enjoying every bit of his second chance. Now he’s ready to find a family who will love him, spoil him, and let him be their favorite little first mate.

Pudding (Houston, TX)

Meet Pudding, a 6-month-old 7 lb. professional wallflower who narrowly escaped a local shelter at the 11th hour. His crime? Being too scared in a loud, overwhelming place. Honestly, after being let down by his original owners, can you really blame the little guy for being cautious about humans? Despite his tough-guy shelter record, Pudding is about as intimidating as a marshmallow. His temporary foster reported that he spent his first night hiding from the world, only to decide the very next day that her lap was actually the safest place on earth. Typical puppy logic. As for his breed? Well… let’s just say the shelter’s description and reality had a spirited disagreement. We were all a bit surprised when Pudding arrived. Whatever ingredients went into making him, the final product is ridiculously cute.
Pudding just needs a patient foster willing to show him that people can be kind, couches are wonderful, and snacks are plentiful. Once he feels safe, this shy little pup starts letting his sweet personality shine and is a cuddle bug. Can you give Pudding the soft landing he deserves? He is kennel trained, hasn’t had an accident and is good with other dogs. Apply to foster or adopt under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee: $600 In this case fostering will have literally saved a life

Dozer (Houston, TX)

                

Meet Dozer, the charming Miniature Doodle (with a sprinkle of Schnauzer charm!) who is ready to steal your heart! At just one year old and weighing in at 20 pounds, this little guy has an inspiring story that showcases his incredible spirit. Dozer’s journey began on a tough note—after being struck by a car, he was found and brought to the shelter in pretty rough shape, unable to even stand. But don’t let that fool you! This brave pup quickly defied the odds. Within a few days, he was finding his footing, taking those first, wobbly steps toward recovery. While X-rays revealed a broken vertebra, the good news is that his spinal cord remained unharmed. Today, Dozer is a playful bundle of joy! He loves romping around with his furry friends and showing off his zoomie skills in the yard. Bath time and grooming? No problem! He’s a champ when it comes to keeping clean. And when it’s time to chill, you can find him napping contentedly on his foster’s lap, soaking up all the love and affection he deserves. Dozer is not just adorable; he’s also an excellent car companion—ready for adventures and new experiences! If you’re looking for a loyal friend with a heart of gold, look no further. Why not take the next step? Apply to foster or adopt this resilient little guy today by visiting the Adopt tab.

Linny Winnie (Katy, TX)

       

Linny Winnie is a delightful 6-month-old schnauzer mix weighing in at 17 lbs! This sweet girl is ready to find her forever home. Unfortunately, it seems she and her sibling are having a bit of a sibling rivalry, which can happen when you have two alpha personalities in one litter. But don’t let that stop you from getting to know this gem! Here’s the good news. Linny Winnie is already house trained, crate trained, and leash trained—making her the perfect companion for any family. Plus, she gets along well with other dogs, so she’s ready to make new furry friends! While she hasn’t yet met any cats, her easy-going, independent, and relaxed nature means she might just adapt with a little time. Linny Winnie is the type of pup who enjoys her alone time as well, so she’s a great choice for those who work or have busy schedules. If you’re an approved foster or adopter and want to bring this sweet girl into your life, please email us at SRT@SchnauzerRescueTexas.me. Otherwise apply under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee: $600

Badger (Houston, TX)

                

Meet Badger, one of our adorable Woodland Five: Bramble, Briar, Birch and Clover. He’s 4 months old, about 15 pounds, and already proving that life with Badger is probably never going to be boring. Badger and his four siblings didn’t have the beginning they deserved. They were found locked together in a kennel that someone had left on the side of the street in the hot sun. But those difficult beginnings haven’t taken away this little guy’s spirit. Now that he’s safe with SRT, Badger is busy doing what puppies are supposed to do: playing, exploring, wrestling with his doggy friends, collecting treasures from the backyard, getting lots of love, and napping hard after all that important puppy business. He’s playful and affectionate and gets along with all the other dogs in his foster home. Badger is kennel trained and still working on house training. He also experienced his very first haircut and appears to have survived. Badger will need a family ready for all the fun that comes with raising a puppy: continued house training, playtime, patience, and plenty of affection. If you’re looking for a loving little guy with a big personality, a playful spirit, and his own unique approach to home decorating, Badger may just be your boy.

Shandi (Houston, TX)

A Letter From Shandi to My Future Family

Hi! My name is Shandi, and I’m writing because I think you might be the people I’ve been waiting for.  I’m 6 months old and only 6 pounds, so I’m a tiny little girl. I’m a bit skinny right now, but don’t worry. My foster mom has taken this situation very seriously, and I’m happily accepting all the extra treats required to plump me up! I should probably tell you that I can be a little shy when we first meet. I just need some time to figure out that I’m safe and that you’re one of my people. Once I do, though, you might notice something funny… Wherever you go, there I am. Walking into another room? I’ll come too. Sitting down? I’ll be nearby. Wondering where Shandi is? You probably just need to look beside you. I really love being close to my person. I’m happiest when I know you’re there. I have lots of foster brothers and sisters, and I get along well with my doggie friends. I’m also already house trained and kennel trained. I can sleep in my kennel at night, although between you and me, it isn’t exactly my first choice. Right now, my kennel stays right beside my foster mom at night because being close to her makes me feel safe. Maybe someday, when I know I’m really home, we can negotiate my sleeping arrangements. Did I mention how portable I am? At only six pounds, I can even fit into one of those little dog carrier pouches! So if you’re looking for a tiny companion who would be perfectly happy tagging along on your adventures, I may be your girl. Mostly, though, I’m just a sweet little dog looking for someone I can trust, follow around, snuggle close to, and call my family. I may be tiny, but I have a whole lot of love waiting for the right people. Could that be you? Love, Shandi — Future Professional Sidekick & Treat Quality-Control Specialist. Ask for Shandi when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoptio fee: $600

Odin (New Braunfels, TX)

       
Say hello to Odin, a charming 5-year-old Miniature Schnauzer weighing in at 25 lbs of pure personality! Unfortunately, this lovable little guy is looking for a new forever home due to a family disagreement about who’s really in charge — him or the other dog. Odin is not just any schnauzer; he’s a captivating mix of stubbornness, goofiness, and unwavering loyalty. This playful pup is neutered, and he’s mastered the art of house, crate, and leash training! While he’s protective of his loved ones (typical schnauzer behavior!), he thrives on affection and loves being the baby of the family. With him, you can expect cuddles, silly antics, and a devoted companion who will fill your days with joy! Odin is a champ at the vet and groomers, impressing everyone with his calm demeanor. He does need a little TLC, as his vaccines are overdue, and he hasn’t been on heartworm prevention for over a year. Let’s keep our paws crossed that he’s still heartworm negative! Ideal for an adult-only home as the only dog, Odin is ready to shine in a loving environment where he can be the center of attention. If you’re interested in fostering this charming little guy and helping him on his journey to health and happiness, we’d love to hear from you! Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for Odin.

Dak (Houston, TX)

       

Dak is a sweet 9-year-old, 41-lb Labradoodle who has had his whole world turned upside down in the blink of an eye.  He lost his beloved dad suddenly—and within just a few days, he also lost the home and pup siblings he knew and loved. Sadly, no one in the family was able to take him in. Dak is understandably grieving, but underneath that sadness is an absolute love bug who deserves the chance to feel safe and loved again. His dad took wonderful care of him, and it shows. Dak is house-trained, comfortable in a kennel, walks nicely on a leash, and is a great car rider. What Dak needs now is a quiet, patient family who understands that he may need a little time to decompress and adjust. He prefers being your one and only. At 9 years old, Dak isn’t looking for a wild adventure. He’s looking for something much more important: a soft place to land, a family to trust, and a forever home where he can be loved for the rest of his life. Please don’t overlook the older pups. They have so much love left to give, and Dak is ready to give all of his to someone who will give him a second chance. Could you be the family Dak has been waiting for? Approved adopters, send an email to SRT@SchnauzerRescueTexas.me if interested. Or apply to Adopt on the website. Adoption fee $200

Chance (McKinney, TX)

       

Chance is a handsome 7-year-old, 12-pound white Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears, a docked tail, and a heart that’s waiting for the right person to unlock it. After his owner, a breeder, passed away, Chance came to Schnauzer Rescue Texas for a fresh start. Now he’s looking for a very special adopter who understands that the greatest rewards often come with a little patience. Chance is a quiet, affectionate boy who forms deep bonds with the people he trusts. Once you’ve earned his heart, he’ll happily follow you from room to room, settle beside you on the couch, or curl up nearby while you go about your day. His loyalty is unwavering, and the connection he forms with his person is truly something special. Because of his past, Chance takes time to trust new people. He can be fearful, particularly around men, and has shown fear-based reactivity when he feels threatened or overwhelmed. He has also been protective of his space and the people he loves, and may react to unfamiliar dogs or people if introductions are rushed. His foster family has been working hard to help him build confidence through slow, positive experiences, and he has already made encouraging progress. However, Chance will need an adopter who understands that trust can’t be rushed. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he will continue to gain confidence and feel secure in his new home. Chance isn’t looking for an active lifestyle. Due to some weakness in his back legs, he’s much happier relaxing than going on long walks. He prefers spending time in a securely fenced backyard where he can explore at his own pace and then return inside for a cozy nap. He’s the definition of a couch companion. He would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with an experienced adopter who is willing to continue helping him learn that the world is a safe place. He may do best as the only dog, although careful, gradual introductions to another calm dog could be successful. Chance is also continuing to work on his house training and developing a consistent daily routine. Like many dogs coming from breeding environments, he’s learning what life as a cherished family member is all about. Chance isn’t the right dog for every family—but for the right person, he will be an incredibly loyal, devoted companion. If you believe in giving shy dogs the time they need to blossom, you’ll discover a loving little soul who simply wants to feel safe and loved. Sometimes the most meaningful relationships are the ones we earn. Could Chance be yours? Ask for Chance as your Pup of Interest when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption Fee: $300

Mylo (Spring, TX)

          

Hello there! I’m Mylo, an adorable three-year-old male Miniature Poodle, tipping the scales at a petite twelve pounds. With my soft fur, bright eyes, and wagging tail, I’m ready to capture your heart. I found myself at SRT after some changes in my previous family’s life made it impossible for them to keep me. While I had little humans in my life and I did just fine with them, I tend to get a bit nervous when I’m grabbed unexpectedly. So, I think I’d do best in a home without young kids who might startle me. Now a little bit about grooming. When I arrived at SRT, I was a bit of a mess—badly matted and in need of some serious TLC. The “professional” groomer thought I needed sedation to get through it, but my amazing SRT volunteer stepped up and helped me get all cleaned up. It wasn’t the most fun I’ve ever had (hello, muzzle), but now I can see clearly, and I feel so much better! Seems grooming will always be an issue with me, but my foster mom can get me through it with some medication to help keep me calm. It’s just that those clippers are so scary. I’m a social guy who enjoys playing with pups and making sure the perimeter of the yard is safe. I’m house-, crate-, and leash-trained. Actually, my crate is my safe place, and when I’m not patrolling the yard, that’s where you can find me. Ready to bring a little joy and warmth into your life? Click the Adopt tab, fill out your application, and ask for me, Mylo! My adoption fee is $400

Alexandria (Houston, TX)

   

Alexandria is a sweet, gentle girl with a calm and loving personality. She was rescued from a Houston shelter in need of immediate medical attention. She had surgery to remove bladder stones and has made a full recovery. She’s about eleven years old and weighs about twenty-three pounds.  She enjoys her daily walks, always happy and well-behaved—she’s never had an accident in the house! Whether snoozing in her cozy crate or relaxing on the couch, she loves her downtime. She’s a mostly quiet girl, but she’ll let you know when she’s ready to go out by giving a little bark. She does not react to other dogs on walks; she’s very easygoing and confident. While Alexandria isn’t clingy, she thrives on gentle petting and affection. She’s been through a lot and is still adjusting to her new life, making her a special, resilient soul. A little mischievous at times, she can be quick to dash out an open door.  She’s a wonderful, low-key companion looking for her forever home! Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for Alexandria as a pup of interest. Her adoption fee is $200

This adorable 7-year-old Miniature Poodle mix found himself surrendered to a crowded shelter, but he hasn’t let that dim his happy spirit. Woofer is a friendly little guy who gets along well with other dogs and loves being around people. During his grooming session, he kept himself entertained by watching the other pups and wagging his tail nonstop. His cheerful personality is hard to resist! This sweet boy enjoys staying close to his human and thrives on companionship. Because he becomes vocal when left alone, he would do best in a home rather than an apartment setting.

She’s a friendly, affectionate little girl who gets along beautifully with other dogs and enjoys making new friends.

Roisin (Houston, TX)

       

Meet Roisin, a year-old, 16 lb. adorable female who was picked up as a stray. First things first: Róisín is pronounced “Ro-sheen.” Her name is Irish for little rose, which seemed just perfect for this small, red, scruffy girl.  Her foster mom loves choosing unique names for her special pups, and this little redhead definitely needed a name as special as she is! While she may technically be a year old, nobody has told Róisín that she isn’t still a puppy! She is playful, curious, and has recently taken up interior decorating. Her specialty? Removing every toy from the toy box and carefully distributing them throughout the house. Apparently, Róisín believes a toy in every room really pulls the whole place together.  This sweet girl enjoys playing and romping with other dogs and would be happy to have a canine buddy in her new home, but another dog isn’t a requirement. She can also enjoy being the center of her family’s attention. Róisín is house- and kennel-trained and knows how to use a doggy door. Her foster mom still takes her outside regularly, which helps reinforce those good potty habits and prevents accidents. Róisín also does very well in the car. With her curious nature, she could make a wonderful little travel companion for someone who wants a pup to join them on outings, road trips, and new adventures. Of course, after all that playing, exploring, decorating, and traveling, there’s nothing wrong with settling in for some love and attention from her people. Róisín is a happy little redhead with plenty of puppy spirit, a touch of mischief, and a whole lot of personality. Our little Irish Rose is ready to bloom in a home of her very own. Could it be yours?  Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for Roisin. Adoption fee $400

** My New Family ** Boggie (Cypress, TX)

              

Meet Boggie, a charming 4-year-old schnauzer mix who’s ready to steal your heart! Weighing in at a delightful 18 lbs, this little guy has quite the story. Picture this: Boggie wandered into a random garage, snuggled up, and decided it was the perfect place to crash for the night! Luckily, his finder recognized his adorable personality and reached out to us to bring him into rescue. When Boggie arrived at SRT, he didn’t have any papers, collar, tags, or a microchip, and unfortunately, we haven’t been able to locate his previous family. However, this sweet pup’s past is behind him and he’s ready for a fresh start! While he may have arrived a bit worse for wear, with matted fur and some pesky fleas, he’s since transformed into a fluffy bundle of love. Boggie has shown himself to be a friendly companion, getting along wonderfully with other dogs and even little humans. He’s a charismatic character who comes when called, but watch out: he might have a flair for escaping, so a secure fenced yard is a must. This little rascal is a pro when it comes to bath time and grooming—he actually enjoys it! Playtime with his toys and snuggles with his favorite humans are his specialties. However, he isn’t a fan of crates, and we’re still fine-tuning his potty training. With his lovable personality, humor, and undeniable charm, Boggie is looking for a forever home where he can frolic, play, and cuddle to his heart’s content. Are you ready to welcome this pint-sized bundle of joy into your life? Click the Adopt tab, and ask for Boggie when you complete your application. Adoptio fee: $400

Currently in search of a new forever home, Bo has a heart full of love and enough smarts to keep you on your toes. Bo’s previous owners realized that his high prey drive makes him too curious around their feline friend. But don’t worry—this playful boy is neutered, house-trained, and crate-trained! He’s also up-to-date on all his vaccines. If there are kids around, Bo is all in for fun! Although he tends to play-bite, with some guidance and training, he’ll learn to channel his energy in positive ways. While he may be wary and reactive towards other dogs on a leash, he turns into a social butterfly at the dog park, thriving in the presence of his furry friends. Bo is not just a pet; he’s a bundle of joy waiting for the right person to help him thrive.

Schiatzi (Haslet, TX)

Meet Schiatzi, a very handsome 11-year-old, 26-pound black-and-white Miniature Schnauzer with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. He’s playful, happy, and ready to enjoy his golden years with a loving family. Years ago his family added another dog, which means Schiatzi gets along well with canine friends, though their presence can trigger a marking tendency in new spaces. With a patient, experienced home, Schiatzi is a charming indoors buddy who is house- and crate-trained and settles nicely into a calm routine. He isn’t currently around children and, although he used to chase cats, he’s not interested in doing that anymore. He can be a little scared at the vet and at the groomer, but with gentle handling he does fine and relaxes once he trusts you. Above all, Schiatzi loves attention, belly rubs, and the comforting ritual of a daily routine followed by cozy cuddle time. Schiatzi deserves a retirement home where he’s cherished and treasured every day. If you’re an adult, dog-savvy home ready to provide steady love and patience, Schiatzi could be the perfect companion.

Woofus (Houston, TX)

       

Looking for a playful, affectionate shadow who will happily follow you from room to room? Meet Woofus a year old, 30 lb. schnauzer mix. This handsome, non-shedding boy is the definition of a Velcro dog. He has the perfect mix of puppy fun and devotion. Whether you’re playing in the yard, going for a walk, or relaxing on the couch, Woofus wants nothing more than to be by your feet. A few weeks ago, Woofus was found wandering the streets, unkept, hungry, and clearly unsure of where he belonged. Based on the way he still braces himself when cars pass, it’s easy to imagine how frightened and alone he must have felt. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan brought him to safety, and when no owner came forward, rescue stepped in to give him the fresh start he deserved. Now healthy, groomed, safe, and ready for his forever family, Woofus is making up for lost time with plenty of tail wags, cuddles, and unconditional love. All he needs is a foster or permanent home where he can finally feel secure and cherished. He would do well in a home with another dog that wants to play. Woofus is looking for a furever family or foster to shower him with attention. Ask for Woofus when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee $400

** Adoption Pending ** Briar (Houston, TX)

 

Meet Briar, one of our adorable Woodland Five: Bramble, Badger, Birch, and Clover. He’s 4 months old, about 15 pounds, and already proving that life with Briar is probably never going to be boring. He and his four siblings didn’t have the beginning they deserved. They were found locked together in a kennel someone had left on the side of the street in the hot sun. But those difficult beginnings haven’t taken away this little guy’s spirit. Now that he’s safe with SRT, Briar is busy doing what puppies are supposed to do: playing, exploring, wrestling with his doggy friends, collecting treasures from the backyard, getting lots of love, and napping hard after all that important puppy business. He’s playful and affectionate and gets along with all the other dogs in his foster home. Briar is kennel trained and still working on house training. He also experienced his very first haircut and appears to have survived. He will need a family ready for all the fun that comes with raising a puppy: continued house training, playtime, patience, and plenty of affection. If you’re looking for a loving little guy with a big personality and a playful spirit, Briar may just be your boy.

** Adoption Pending ** Galaxy (Houston, TX)

      

Galaxy is a handsome 17-month-old, 12-pound white Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears, a docked tail, and the sweetest personality you could ask for. While he’s still a young pup, life has already thrown him a few challenges. Galaxy struggles with allergies that have affected his skin and coat. Wanting him to receive the specialized care he needs, his family made the difficult decision to surrender him to Schnauzer Rescue Texas. Now, he’s on the path to feeling better and is looking for a loving foster home where he can heal while we help him become the happy, healthy dog he deserves to be. His foster reports that Galaxy is an absolute sweetheart. He’s gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully patient with children. He loves playing with other dogs and has a submissive, easygoing personality that makes him a great canine companion. Whether it’s a trip to the groomer, a visit to the veterinarian, or a ride in the car, Galaxy takes it all in stride like a champ. He hasn’t been around cats, so we can’t say for certain how he’d react, but based on his calm, submissive nature, we think he has the potential to do well with a proper introduction. Right now, Galaxy needs a foster family willing to give him a safe place to recover while his allergies are treated and his beautiful white coat returns to its full glory. In return, you’ll have the privilege of helping a truly deserving young dog get the fresh start he’s been waiting for. Could you be the one to help Galaxy shine again? If you’re interested in fostering Galaxy, please complete a foster application with Schnauzer Rescue Texas. Your kindness could make all the difference in his journey to a happy, healthy future.

Fergie (Rhome TX)

           

How many times can a little dog’s heart be broken before she finally gets to stay?  Meet Fergie, a beautiful 2-year-old, 17-pound Miniature Schnauzer mix whose young life has already been filled with far more goodbyes than any dog should ever have to endure. Fergie was only 2 months old when she was first surrendered to a shelter. Imagine being just a tiny puppy and already wondering where your family went. Someone adopted her from the shelter—not to keep her, but with the intention of finding her a forever home. Eventually, that forever home seemed to arrive. But once her family realized just how much work, patience, and training a young puppy requires, Fergie was surrendered again. Then, finally, she found a family who welcomed her into their home. She has been with them for more than a year, long enough to believe that perhaps this was it. Her family. Her home. Her forever.
But sometimes life changes in ways no one expects. Sadly, her family’s circumstances have changed, and Fergie now needs to find a new home. Her owner is absolutely heartbroken to have to make this decision. This isn’t because Fergie did something wrong. She is simply a loving little dog who has been caught in circumstances beyond her control. And that’s what makes Fergie’s story so heartbreaking. Yet despite all the changes, all the uncertainty, and all the people who have come and gone, Fergie is still a sweet, loving girl who wants nothing more than to be loved and included. She is wonderful with other dogs and is house and leash trained. She has also done well with a pre-teen in one of her previous homes. She deserves something very simple: a family that understands that “forever” really means forever. A family willing to give her the patience, security, and unconditional love she has been searching for since she was just a tiny puppy. Maybe you can be the one to finally show Fergie that she doesn’t have to say goodbye again. Ask for Fergie when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption Fee: $400
