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!
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. She is very, VERY pregnant, and her puppies are expected to make their grand entrance any day now! Right now, Kora is taking life slowly—and with a belly that big, we really can’t blame her. 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. For now, Kora’s only job is to rest, feel safe, eat well, and get ready to be a mama. Once her puppies arrive, she’ll have the very important job of raising them until they’re big enough to start lives of their own. And then it will finally be Kora’s turn. Her turn to be someone’s baby instead of taking care of babies. Her turn to learn that home means you don’t get left behind. Her turn to discover soft beds, treats, belly rubs, adventures, and a family who chooses her forever. Kora isn’t ready for adoption just yet, but we wanted you to meet her now. Follow along as this sweet mama welcomes her babies and begins the next chapter of her own story. We have a feeling you’re going to want to stick around for this one.
From a life of neglect to a second chance at happiness… meet sweet Nessa.
Introducing Nessa, a beautiful 3-year-old, 18-pound Schnauzer mix who has just been rescued from a local shelter—and this little girl has already stolen hearts! Nessa was brought into the shelter along with 40 other dogs rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation. We can only imagine what life must have been like for this sweet girl before rescue. She didn’t get the care, attention, or love that every dog deserves. But somehow, through it all, Nessa hasn’t let her past define her. This girl is simply happy. She is playful, curious, and wonderfully friendly. She’s doing great meeting the other pups and seems genuinely thrilled to discover all the wonderful things that come with being rescued. She rides beautifully in the car and was an absolute champ for her grooming session. It’s almost as if she knows that her life is changing—and she’s ready to embrace every bit of it! Sadly, Nessa did test positive for heartworm disease, something that is unfortunately common in dogs who haven’t received proper preventative care. But that’s just one more hurdle she has to cross on her journey to a better life. Her heartworm treatment is underway, and SRT will make sure she gets the care she needs. Nessa isn’t available for adoption just yet, but we’re looking forward to watching this sweet girl continue to blossom. She is expected to be ready for her forever home near the end of October. After everything Nessa has been through, we want her next chapter to be completely different. No more overcrowded conditions. No more being overlooked. No more wondering if anyone cares. Just a soft bed, a loving family, a full bowl, toys to play with, and the security of knowing she is finally home. Nessa has spent the first three years of her life simply surviving. Now it’s time for her to learn what it means to be loved. If you’re looking for a sweet, happy girl to add to your family, keep an eye out for Nessa. Her forever family may be reading this right now.
Introducing the delightful Senetor, a charming 10-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who tips the scales at a manageable 21 lbs of pure love! This sweet soul was discovered as a stray by a compassionate Good Samaritan, who couldn’t resist fostering him while he prepares for his forever home. Senetor is more than just a friendly pup; he’s got a personality that’s as bright as his sparkling eyes! Intelligent and attentive, he has mastered the art of communication and will gently nudge your knee, letting you know it’s time for some affection. And if you’re wondering where the treats are? Just wait for him to sit patiently by the door, his favorite spot, tail wagging, ready for a tasty reward! When he’s not waiting for his next treat or asking for head scratches, you’ll find Senetor basking in the warm sunlight, stretched out comfortably on his cozy dog bed. He’s not just a pretty face—this well-mannered gentleman is completely house-trained and enjoys car rides, making him the perfect companion for a weekend adventure! Although Senetor has faced challenges—he recently tested positive for heartworm disease—he’s receiving the care he needs and is projected to be available for adoption in early November. Are you ready to open your heart and home to this wonderful pup? Senetor can’t wait to find a loving family that will appreciate his gentle spirit and loving nature. Stay tuned for more updates on this sweet boy, and get ready to welcome him into your life!
Hendrix, is a 6-year-old, 8 lb Miniature Poodle who somehow ended up at a shelter. This sweet little guy enjoys playing with other dogs and getting lots of cuddles from his foster. He also loves to give kisses. He’s very quiet and gentle. Unfortunately, like so many others, he tested positive for heartworm disease. He will be going through treatment and should be available for adoption by the end of October. Stay tuned for updates.
Meet Momo, a 3-year-old, 18 lb Schnauzer mix who was rescued from a shelter. He was brought to the shelter after he was hit by a vehicle with extensive injuries to his pelvis and left back leg, along with lots of road rash. Even though his injuries were quite painful, he’s been nothing but sweet and gentle. Unfortunately, the left back leg was so badly damaged that it couldn’t be saved. He had surgery on 6/23/26 for the amputation and to repair the broken pelvis. Momo will be recovering for the next 6-8 weeks while his pelvis injury heals. Sadly, he also tested positive for heartworm disease, so he will need to go through that treatment too. Poor guy has been through a lot. His surgery was a little over $5K, and he still needs to be neutered and to go through the heartworm treatment. Any donations for his vet bills are greatly appreciated.
Samie, is a 3-year-old, 11 lb Miniature Poodle mix who was just pulled from a shelter in immediate need for veterinary care. Based on his numerous large puncture wounds and a left hip dislocation, the medical staff believe he was attacked by another animal. He was also covered in fleas and ticks. A volunteer alerted us to his urgent need to rescue him from the shelter so he could receive the care he needed. The volunteer picked him up and took him to the ER clinic where he spent the afternoon and evening. He is also anemic, probably due to all of the ticks and is on medication to treat the tick borne disease. He has since been completely shaved down to clean and repair his lacertations and to remove all of the ticks. His vet bill is being finalized now, but is approximately $1600. Any donations are tax deductible per IRS regulations as SRT is a 501C3 non-profit corporation. ZELLE & VENMO can be sent using SRT@SchnauzerRescueTexas.me
Meet Smooth Velvet, a 3-year-old, 32 lb. Doodle who was found on the streets. This girl was so badly matted, the only option was a complete shave down. There was no microchip under all of those mats or a collar and tag and no luck finding her owner. She’s now been to the vet and has her vaccines and sadly is heartworm positive. She will need to go through treatment and will need a foster while she recovers. She was very patient while being shaved down and is good with other pups. Apply under the Adopt tab to foster this girl. Her adoption fee will be $400 when she’s ready in about October.
Camila Rose is a beautiful 3-year-old, 10-pound Miniature Schnauzer who has officially retired from motherhood and is finally getting the chance to enjoy life as someone’s beloved companion.

She rides beautifully in the car, is wonderful for grooming, and takes life’s adventures in stride. Her foster reports that she gets along beautifully with her three foster sisters and has recently discovered the joy of toys—especially the squeaky ones! Watching her learn how to simply be a carefree dog has been a heartwarming experience. Camila Rose has spent the first part of her life taking care of others.
