It’s All Fun & Games Til Someone Ends Up In A Cone!

This section is dedicated to our Schnauzers who need a little time to heal before they are ready for adoption.  But we want you to know who they are, keep you updated on their progress and, if you can, have you help us to help them by making a donation to help cover their medical expenses!  Check out our ‘Store’ or ‘Help Us’ section to learn how!

Espresso (Houston, TX)

        

I’m Espresso a male black Miniature Schnauzer who is about three years old and weighs about fifteen pounds with natural ears and a docked tail. I was involved in a traffic accident — it wasn’t my fault, although I guess I shouldn’t have been on the streets. I was saved in the nick of time from the shelter who were going to kill me because I had a cold.  I’ve had some major orthopedic surgery to repair some broken bones in my pelvis and femur. I’ve recovered far beyond expectations now enjoying walks and hopping up on the couch. My foster mom says I’m a delightful little companion who gets along well with other dogs and is adapting well to the cat in the home. I love to sleep near my humans and am always ready for a cozy snuggle session on the couch. I quickly learned the routines of my foster family, am fully house trained, and walk wonderfully on a leash. I’ve been through a lot but  sometimes nip when frightened when being picked up. My foster mom can explain better and is recommending me for a home without small children. Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for me, Espresso, as a pup of interest. My adoption fee is $400

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

   

I’m Fang, a male black and white Miniature Schnauzer mix who is about a year old and weighs about ten pounds with natural ears and tail. I was surrendered by my family because of a move and I was so scared at first with the change. Now, I’m doing fine with my foster and even got a bath and a haircut. I have some hair loss due to flea dermatitis but I’ve had prevention now and am headed to the vet for my vaccines and heartworm testing. Once my health status is known, my bio will be updated. I’m fine with other pups  and was fine being groomed. Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for me, Fang, as a pup of interest. My adoption fee is $400

Kuro (Montgomery, TX)

           

I’m Kuro, a male black and grey Miniature Schnauzer who is about two years old and weighs about thirteen pounds with natural ears and tail. I was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter. They contacted SRT and asked them to get me out of there. I’ve been to the vet and am limping a bit on my front leg, but appears to be nothing serious. What is serious though is the heartworm disease. I’ll be going thru treatment so won’t be available for adoption until late January. So far my new friends know that I’m very good around other pups, am affectionate, a good car rider and good at both the vet and the groomers. I even appear to be house trained, but they need a little more time to give me my certificate. Stay tuned for updates as I get closer to being ready for my forever home.

LBJ (Houston, TX)

   

I’m LBJ, a male black and silver Miniature Schnauzer who is about five years old and weighs about nine pounds with natural ears and a docked tail. I was surrendered to SRT because my owner died and no one in the family was able to take care of me. I’ll be going t the vet for my vaccines and for my snip surgery. In the meantime, I’m looking for a foster or my forever home. I’m a friendly little guy who gets along with other pups. The same family surrendered three other pups to SRT, but we don’t have to be adopted together. I have just been diagnosed with two luxating patellas and will have surgery  on the first leg on December 4th. My second surgery will be six weeks after that. Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for me, LBJ, as a pup of interest. My adoption fee is $300

Beanie Baby (Spring, TX)

       

I’m Beanie Baby, a female salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer who is about a year old and weighs about six pounds with natural ears and tail. Yes, that’s right, I weigh six pounds and not because I want to be the next Twiggy. I’ve been dealing with some GI issues for quite some time and my former owner contacted SRT to help me. They didn’t have the money to take me to the vet and I was sick for about a month and lost weight I couldn’t afford to lose. SRT’s vets were treating all my symptoms, but I wasn’t improving so they paid for a GI panel which was a very expensive test.  The results showed I have a viral infection called Circovirus and two secondary bacterial infections. I’ve been getting supportive treatments for about six weeks to help correct any imbalances in my immune system. The bacterial infections were Clostridium perfringens which can cause diarrhea in dogs. The severity of the diarrhea can range from mild to life-threatening.  And Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin that causes gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. I’m improving, but it is definitely slow going.  My foster mom thinks I’m adorable and I love to snooze in her lap in the evenings. I’m perfectly fine with other dogs. Seems I’m good being groomed, but it was difficult since I’m mostly skin and bones. I’m working on gaining weight. Stay tuned for updates.

Chato (San Antonio, TX)

          

I’m Chato a male white Miniature Poodle who is about nine months old and weighs about eighteen pounds with natural ears and tail. I came up from Laredo and am with a nice foster who has a few pups and we all get along great. I’m a nervous little guy though and new people do scare me. I’m in boarding at Pup Pup & Away getting lots of attention and even some training.  Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for me, Chato, as a pup of interest. My adoption fee is $400

Kenlie (LaPorte, TX)

       

I’m Kenlie a black female Miniature Schnauzer who is about four years old and weighs about fifteen pounds with natural ears and tail. I was just rescued from a local shelter and am with a temporary foster. I’m a friendly girl who does well with other pups, riding in the car and being groomed. Unfortunately I tested positive for heartworms so will have to go through treatment and won’t be available for adoption until November.  As more is learned about me, my bio will be updated. Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for me, Kenlie. My adoption fee is $400

Bessie (Pearland, TX)

         
I’m Bessie, a female salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer mix (probably shih tau or Lhasa apso) who is about thirteen years old and weighs about eighteen pounds with natural ears and tail.  I was found on the streets by another rescue who contacted SRT to help me. My foster said that I’m so sweet and easy.  I’ve been to the vet and they have confirmed that I’m a healthy senior girl. I’m scheduled for a dental and spay soon and will be ready for my new home. In the meantime, I need a foster home. You can see that I’m all packed and ready to go. I love the outdoors, am very friendly, good with other dogs and cats. That’s my feline friend Winnie at the bottom of the picture. I’m house trained and kennel trained and easy to groom and good at the vet. My coat is in horrible shape, but now that I’m with SRT and getting good food and being kept clean, it will be nice and shiny again soon.
