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!
Welcome, Hope, a seven-month-old, seven-pound male Miniature Schnauzer. Hope came to SRT from a breeder when he was diagnosed with a liver shunt. He had a CT scan, which confirmed the liver shunt. The cost of this test is$1800. He had surgery on 2/9/26 to repair the shunt, which was $2,300. Unfortunately, his incision opened, and he had to go to the emergency vet on 2/14 to be restitched at a cost of $2099. He will go back to the vet in a few weeks to have another bile acid test run to see how his liver is adjusting. He’s been doing great, though and acting like a puppy–zoomies are a favorite thing and playing with other pups. Hope is house and crate-trained and is great being bathed and groomed. Donations for his care are appreciated via ZELLE (Schnauzer & Friends Rescue) or VENMO (Schnauzer Rescue of Texas) using SRT@SchauzerRescueTexas.me
Meet Little Bodie 🤍 — a tiny soul with a big heart. Bodie was found as a stray, and although he does have a microchip, every effort to reunite him with his owner—including phone calls and even a home visit—sadly led nowhere. Bodie is a toy poodle weighing a whopping three pounds and is estimated to be somewhere between six and ten years old. His microchip lists him as six, while the vet believes he may be closer to ten. He has mature cataracts and will be seeing an ophthalmologist once his overall health improves. The good news is that he is heartworm negative. Currently, Bodie is being treated for anemia, and once that’s resolved, he will be neutered. Despite everything he’s been through, he’s an absolute sweetheart. He does wonderfully with other dogs, is great during grooming, and lives for cuddling with his human. This adorable little fluff ball just wants warmth, comfort, and love. Bodie deserves a soft place to land and a forever home filled with patience and affection. His bio will be updated as his health continues to improve—but one thing is already certain: he’s incredibly special.
Mayson just joined SRT after he was found on the streets, and no owner could be found. He’s been to the vet, has all of his vaccines and has been neutered. Unfortunately, this two-year-old, twenty-four-pound boy tested positive for heartworm disease. He scored a great foster family while he goes through treatment. He’s been great with their dog and is a friendly pup. We’ll update his health status as he goes through treatment.

Meet the adorable Chispita (aka Kiki), a delightful little girl with a heart of gold! This one-year-old sweetheart weighs just twelve pounds and is believed to be a shih tzu mix. Sadly, Chispita was left behind at a groomer, never to be reclaimed. Chispita is a gentle and quiet girl who gets along wonderfully with other pups. She absolutely loves being groomed and pampered, showing her appreciation with wagging tails and sweet smiles. Although she’s a bit shy at first, she warms up quickly and has a kind, non-aggressive spirit. This little lady is also a perfect car companion, and she behaves beautifully at the vet’s office! is a loving, gentle soul who thrives on being around her people and other dogs. She can be a bit of a Houdini at first, so a secure yard and proper ID are important until she settles in and feels safe. Once she’s comfortable, KiKi becomes a true Velcro dog—always wanting to be close and soak up affection. She’s house-trained, very quiet, and easy to walk, making her an easy addition to the right home. KiKi absolutely loves belly rubs and would likely do best in a home with another dog to help her feel confident and happy. Unfortunately, Chispita has tested positive for heartworm disease, which means she will need to undergo treatment. But don’t worry—she’s a fighter, and with a little love and care, she’ll surely bounce back! Chespita will be ready for her forever home around mid-February. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion to brighten your days, keep an eye out for this precious girl! Your heart (and home) will be fuller with Chispita in it!
