Ferris is a 2-year-old, 12 lb Miniature Schnauzer who recently arrived from a shelter. He is a sweet, shy little guy who just needs time to feel safe.

He travels fine in the car and is learning about leash walking.  He just needs patience, love, and someone willing to let him blossom at his own pace!.

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

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.

At just 9 pounds, Woofer is a pint-sized bundle of charm looking for a second chance. 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. Woofer is house, crate and leash trained and enjoys going on walks. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow who wants to be part of your daily life, Woofer may be the perfect match.   We are also continuing to evaluate his house-training progress. Could Woofer be the companion you’ve been searching for? Click the Adopt tab and ask for Woofer! Adoption Fee: $300

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

Hendrix is the perfect playmate, enjoying delightful sessions with other dogs and showering his human friends with sweet kisses and warm cuddles. With his quiet and gentle demeanor, he’s the ideal companion for anyone seeking a furry friend who loves to snuggle and relax.

If you’re looking for a charming, affectionate companion who will fill your life with love, look no further—Hendrix might just be your perfect match! Ready to welcome this little sweetheart into your family? Complete your application under the Adopt tab and be sure to ask for Hendrix. Adoption fee: $300. Your new best friend is waiting! 🐾❤️

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

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. Approved adopters, email SRT@SchnauzerRescueTexas.me  or to get approved, apply under the Adopt tab and ask for Schiatzi

Four-year-old, 10 lb. Kora has had quite a lot happen in a very short amount of time. Somewhere along the way, this precious girl was dumped. And if that wasn’t enough change for one little dog, Kora arrived with a few extra passengers on board. Sadly, Kora was badly dehydrated when rescued and spent some time at the vet getting fluids. She was very lethargic and we believe her poor condition resulted in a bad outcome for her puppies who all passed soon after they were born. She is an incredibly sweet, gentle and quiet girl. With so many changes happening around her, Kora is understandably shy and still trying to figure out whether she is finally somewhere safe. She hasn’t even found a reason to use her voice yet, her foster mom hasn’t heard a single bark from her, even when the other dogs decide there is something important to announce. Soon she will learn that home means you don’t get dropped off somewhere. She now gets to discover soft beds, treats, belly rubs, adventures, and a family who chooses her forever. Kora is still recovering but will soon be ready for adoption once she is spayed. Ask for Kora when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption fee: $400

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 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

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. His coat has now grown back in and he’s no longer scratching. He’s on the right meds to control his allergies. 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. Ask for Galaxy under the Adopt tab when you complete your application. Adoption fee $400
