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?

Nessie was found wandering the streets of Houston during bitterly cold weather, and a kind Good Samaritan stepped in just in time to save her. This brave little girl is about eight years old and now weighs a healthy 12 pounds after lots of good meals and love in foster care.

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.

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

She thrives in the company of other pups and enjoys playtime like a pro, showcasing her playful personality.

Not to worry though; with a little more time and guidance, she’ll be a master of the house-training game! Dana isn’t one to bark excessively, making her a calming presence in the home. Although she’s not a fan of being crated, she can settle down with a few gentle “quiet” commands from her human. Just be aware that this little darling is still learning how to enjoy grooming sessions. Combing and nail clipping? Well, let’s just say she prefers to keep her fabulous fur and manicured nails a work-in-progress for now! If you’re an active and loving individual or family ready to provide Dana with the stability and patience she needs, she could be your perfect match!  Could you be the one to give Dana the forever home she deserves?

Meet Pretty Lady, a gentle 2-year-old sweetheart weighing 38 pounds who’s ready to find her forever home! Sadly, when her owner moved, they left her behind—but thanks to some kind-hearted Good Samaritans who fed her and reached out to us, SRT was able to rescue this amazing girl from the streets. Pretty Lady had a rough start, arriving with severe matting that required a full shave-down. But she handled her grooming session like a champ—calm, patient, and absolutely perfect during her bath and on the grooming table. At the vet, she was just as well-behaved, showing off her sweet and cooperative nature. This lovely lady has met several new pups and even a cat, all without a hint of drama—she’s truly a social butterfly! She seems to be house-trained and is overflowing with love and kindness. The only little quirk? She gets car sick, so car rides aren’t her favorite. But beyond that, she’s simply perfect. Pretty Lady is searching for a forever family who will cherish her and never leave her behind again. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this incredible girl, be sure to ask for Pretty Lady when you complete your application under the Adopt tab.  Adoption fee $400

Hogkins is a handsome 7-year-old, 11-pound chocolate Miniature Schnauzer with the sweetest personality. This adorable little guy was found as a stray with no tags, no microchip, and no one searching for him. When he arrived, his skin and coat were in rough shape, but with a bath, good nutrition, and plenty of love, he’s already on the road to becoming the gorgeous boy he was always meant to be. His foster family can’t say enough wonderful things about him. Hogkins is affectionate, playful, and loves everyone he meets. He happily trots up to strangers for pets, snuggles in laps, plays well with other dogs, and is both potty and crate-trained. During the day, he’s especially devoted to his foster’s son, following him around and soaking up every bit of attention. Hogkins does have one little quirk. At night, he can become fearful around adult men. During the daytime, however, he has no issues at all and is happy to seek out affection from everyone. We don’t know what may have happened in his past to cause this nighttime fear, but with patience and understanding, he’s shown what a loving, trusting little companion he truly is. If you’re looking for a loyal cuddle buddy with a heart full of love, Hogkins may be the perfect addition to your family. Ask for Hogkins as your Pup of Interest when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption Fee: $300

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

Ask for Bob Bentley as a pup of interest when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee: $400

But don’t worry; once he’s comfortable, he’ll snuggle up close and drift off to dreamland in your arms. Davis has a curious nature and loves to follow his buddy Imogen around, although he prefers to keep his meals to himself—he’s too polite to fight for his food!

I’m Feta, a 9-year-old, 11 lb Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail. I came all the way from Oklahoma to Houston so Schnauzer Rescue could find me a forever home. My former owner was a breeder who passed, and the family immediately looked for rescue to take me in. I made the trip like a champ and made myself right at home with my foster family. I have a crate if I want some downtime, but that doesn’t happen often. I’m house trained with the doggy door. That leash thing is weird though, and I know I’ll catch on eventually, but for now, I get to go out the door when I need to and come back in. It’s fun. I sometimes do a little skip step on my back leg, but the vet said there’s no point in doing any surgery as it could just make it worse. It doesn’t slow me down at all. I may be nine, but you can teach an old dog new tricks. Ask for Feta when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee $200

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.

During his grooming session, he kept himself entertained by watching the other pups and wagging his tail nonstop.

Jeremy is an approximately 11-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who was found collapsed in a greenbelt, severely matted and malnourished. After no owners could be located, rescue stepped in to give this sweet senior a second chance. Jeremy has since received veterinary care, a dental cleaning, and a cardiology evaluation. Today, he’s healthy enough to focus on what matters most: learning that the world can be a safe place again. Jeremy is a gentle, sensitive soul who takes time to trust. A calm, patient, adult-only home will help him continue building confidence and settle in at his own pace. The wonderful news is that Jeremy has been making remarkable progress in foster care. In just a few weeks, he has gone from hiding in his bed most of the day to exploring the house, playing with toys, following his foster mom around, mastering the stairs, and confidently moving in and out through the sliding glass door. He’s even started joining the resident dog in neighborhood watch duties and reconnecting with his inner Schnauzer. 😄Jeremy is also good with other dogs, house-trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. While Jeremy still needs patience and understanding, we’re seeing more of his sweet, playful personality every day. For the right person, helping him continue this journey will be incredibly rewarding. If you think Jeremy might be the perfect addition to your family, ask for Jeremy when you complete your application under the Adopt tab.

Anita is a 4-year-old, 10-lb Miniature Schnauzer who came out of a hoarding situation. When Anita first arrived at Schnauzer Rescue of Texas, she wasn’t in very good shape, was much too thin and missing hair across the back half of her body, and struggled with anxiety. But what a difference love, good food, and a safe place can make. Anita has made an incredible 180-degree turnaround! She’s gaining weight, her beautiful curly hair is growing back healthy, and her foster mom makes sure she gets some extra-special treats to help put a little more meat on those tiny bones. Best of all, Anita has discovered that she doesn’t have to be anxious anymore. Now she can concentrate on the important things in life, like digging through the toy box, roughhousing with her doggy pals, snuggling next to her foster mom, and being held for some good old-fashioned belly and body rubs. And then there are the squirrels. If your backyard has a squirrel or possum problem, Anita would like to submit her résumé.

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.

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.

She’s happily lived with kids and has always gotten along with other dogs—she grew up with two Schnauzers and a boxer, and she loved them all. Grooming is no trouble for this sweet girl, who enjoys a comfy grooming session and a tidy coat. When Punkin arrived, she was emaciated, but with steady meals and patient care she’s been gaining weight and feeling more like herself every day.

Punkin isn’t just a pet—she’s a loyal friend who will greet you with a wag and an “I’m here for you” sigh after a long day.

Meet this charming 6-year-old Schnauzer mix, weighing in at 42 lbs and ready to find his forever home! With his handsome looks and sweet personality, he’s sure to steal your heart. Although he’s developed a bit of resource guarding when it comes to his food, this loyal boy is neutered, house-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained, making him a well-behaved companion.

Plus, he does wonderfully at the groomer and is up to date on all vaccinations and preventative care. If you’re an approved adopter looking for a steadfast friend, don’t hesitate!

Introducing Atticus Max, a 6-year-old, 30-lb. Schnauzer mix who was surrendered by his owner as she could no longer afford his care. We’ve been told he is house, crate and leash trained and is good with dogs and even cats. As for children, he tends to nip at them, probably trying to get them to play. We’ll say an all adult home for now. He’s been to the vet and is now ready for adoption. His bio will be updated once the foster learns more about him. Ask for Atticus Max when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee: $300

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. Ask for Galaxy under the Adopt tab when you complete your application. Adoption fee $400
