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!

Philly (Spring, TX)

I’m Philly, a female black and white Miniature Schnauzer who is about six years old and weighs about fourteen pounds with natural ears and a docked tail. I was rescued from a shelter and needed out because I couldn’t stand on my back lets. Turns out the vet thinks I was hit by a car as I have a broken pelvis. I’m on crate rest for a few weeks and will get some new x-rays in a few weeks to see how I’m healing. I’m a sweet friendly girl who is fine with other pups. I’m not really a fan of the crate and tend to make my displeasure known. As soon as I’m released by the vet, I’ll be ready for adoption.

Hashtag (Spring,TX)

       

I’m Hashtag, a female salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer who is about three years old and weighs about seventeen years with natural ears and tail. I was living in Houston with 20 other pups and 7 cats. Our owner died and we were desperately in need for new homes. SRT collected six of us and took us straight to the vet. We were all a little dirty and definitely needed to see the vet to get our vaccines and to be fixed and treated for any issues. I’m with a wonderful foster family who are giving me lots of TLC. As you can imagine, I’m a little shy and skittish but my foster says I’m sweet, quiet and snuggly. So far I’ve had no accidents in the house and I know how to use a dog door.  Unfortunately I tested positive for heartworm disease and will need to go through treatment so I won’t be ready for adoption until April.  Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for me, Hashtag, as a pup of interest. My adoption fee is $400

 

** Adoption Pending ** Matt now Frank (Houston, TX)

I’m Frank a terrier mix who is about three years old and weighs about thirteen pounds with natural ears and tail. My name is Jill and I get along well with other dogs and I like to sleep curled up next to the cat. I’m a total snuggler and just want to be close to another animal or human. I do great on a leash, I’m quiet without a lot of barking  and super friendly to strangers. I’m house trained and crate trained, but no need for that. My foster family are going to adopt me once I finish my heartworm treatment. Yay!

** Adoption Pending ** Kizzy (Spring, TX)

I’m Kizzy, a female salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer who is about two years old and weighs about seventeen pounds with natural ears and a docked tail. I was found on the streets and was a bit rough. No one could find my owners so they turned to SRT to help find me a forever home. I’m friendly with other pups, good car rider and was good with my grooming (except I didn’t like the clippers around my face). I’m crate and leash trained and my house training is being evaluated. Unfortunately I tested positive for heartworm disease so it will be a few months before I’m ready for adoption. When I’m ready, my foster is adopting me.

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.

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. Click the Adopt tab, complete your application and ask for me, Bessie, as a pup of interest. My adoption fee is $200
