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. After lovingly raising her puppies, it’s now Camila Rose’s turn to be spoiled. She’ll be starting heartworm treatment soon and is expected to be ready for adoption in early September. In the meantime, she’s busy showing her foster family what an incredible little dog she is. The best way to describe Camila Rose? An absolute love bug! She has a calm, easygoing personality and simply loves everyone she meets. Whether it’s people or dogs of any size, Camila Rose makes friends wherever she goes.

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.

Tiny in size but enormous in spirit, Zuch is an adorable 8-month-old, 5-pound black-and-white parti Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears, a docked tail, and the heart of a true fighter. Zuch’s story could have ended in tragedy. After being thrown down a flight of stairs and then accidentally landed on by a child, this tiny puppy suffered two broken front legs. Because the extensive orthopedic surgery he needed was beyond what his owners could afford, they asked their veterinarian to euthanize him. Thankfully, the veterinary team knew this little boy deserved a chance. They contacted Schnauzer Rescue Texas, and everything changed. Zuch underwent complex surgery on July 14, where orthopedic specialists repaired both front legs using plates and pins. Now he’s resting comfortably and beginning the next phase of his journey—healing. His recovery is expected to take about five weeks, after which he’ll be ready to find the forever family he’s always deserved. Even after everything he’s been through, Zuch hasn’t let his difficult past define him. He’s a happy, loving little guy who simply wants to be close to his people. He gets along well with other dogs, handled grooming like a champ, and impressed everyone at both veterinary hospitals with his sweet, trusting nature. If all continues to go as planned, Zuch should be ready for adoption around mid-August. We know his perfect family is out there—one that will give him the love, safety, and lifetime of happiness he has always deserved. Sometimes the smallest dogs have the biggest hearts, and Zuch is living proof. Ask for Zuch as your Pup of Interest when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Adoption Fee: $600
Rayna is a beautiful 3-year-old, 11-pound white Miniature Schnauzer who is ready to begin the next chapter of her life. After being surrendered by a breeder, she arrived with two precious little surprises—her 3-week-old puppies! Rayna proved to be an incredible mom, giving her babies all the love and care they needed until they were ready to spread their own wings. Her puppies, Reena and Remo, are now available for adoption under their own listings. Now it’s finally Rayna’s turn to be the one cared for. This sweet girl is as loving as they come. She adores cuddling with her people and is happiest when she’s close by, soaking up affection and enjoying the comfort of a loving home. Unfortunately, Rayna tested positive for heartworm disease and will need to complete treatment before she can be adopted. The treatment process typically takes 2–3 months, during which she’ll need a calm, caring foster home where she can rest, recover, and continue learning what it’s like to be a cherished family member. Could you be the one to help Rayna on her journey to a healthy, happy future? Fostering truly saves lives, and for Rayna, it will mean everything. If you’re interested in fostering Rayna, please complete a foster application with Schnauzer Rescue Texas. She can’t wait to start this next chapter with someone who will show her just how loved she really is.
Meet Gio, a 7-year-old, 18 lb. black and tan Miniature Schnauzer mix who was pulled from a totally overcrowded shelter where he was just terrified. Luckily, he has a nice foster mom who went and picked him up from the shelter and is getting to know him. In just a few days, she’s found that he is house-trained, treat-oriented, good on the leash, and he sleeps through the night in his crate. She has yet to hear him bark. He likes being brushed and follows everyone with a wagging tail. He loves to chase the squirrels, a typical schnauzer prey drive. He was kennelled with another dog at the shelter and did great and was happy to have a companion pup. Unfortunately, like so many in the Houston area, he tested positive for heartworm disease, so it will be several months before he’s ready for adoption.
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 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 hs been through a lot. His surgery was a little over $5K and he still needs to be neutered and to go thru the heartworm treatment. Any donations for his vet bills are greatly appreciated.
Meet little Sadie, a 3-year-old, underweight at 6 lb. Yorkshire Terrier who was found on the streets of Houston. How this little one survived is a miracle. Sadly she tested positive for heartworm disease and will go through treatment to get rid of those nasty worms. In the meantime, she’s with a wonderful foster family getting lots of TLC. She’s a little shy and tends to find a nice comfy dog bed or rest inside the crate with the open door. She’s a bit nervous around the other pups. She’s learning the world can be a safe place. She should be ready for adoption around the end of July
Meet Zoey, a sweet 1-year-old, 10-pound salt-and-pepper Miniature Schnauzer with a big personality! Zoey was surrendered by her family, but she’s ready to find a new home where she can truly shine. This affectionate little girl absolutely adores kids (even though her former owner’s child threw her off a bunkbed to another child breaking her leg. Her leg has healed now thankfully. No more tossing her around! Zoey does have a strong streak—she’s a resource guarder who prefers to keep her toys and food all to herself. Because of this, she needs an experienced dog owner who understands how to create a safe and balanced environment for everyone in the home. She’s both house and crate-trained and is thriving with her foster family, who have other pups and children. While she’s calm and cooperative at the vet, grooming can be a bit scary for her—those clippers make her nervous! With patience and gentle guidance, she’s learning to feel more comfortable. Zoey is looking for a confident, loving person who knows what it means to be the alpha in the home and can help her blossom into the best version of herself. If you think you’re the perfect match for this spirited sweetheart, be sure to ask for Zoey when you complete your application under the Adopt tab. Her adoption fee is $400.

Meet Dozer – A Brave Little Fighter Looking for a Healing Haven!
Say hello to Dozer, a handsome cream and apricot Miniature Poodle mix (with maybe a dash of Schnauzer!) who’s about one year old and weighs around 18 pounds. Dozer’s journey hasn’t been easy—he was found after being hit by a car, and when he arrived at the shelter, he couldn’t even stand. But this resilient boy didn’t give up! After just a few days, he was able to stand and take a few wobbly steps. X-rays showed that Dozer has a broken vertebra, but thankfully, his spinal cord wasn’t affected. He’s now on strict crate rest for about six weeks to let his back heal properly. Depending on how he progresses, he might need surgery to remove some bone fragments, but for now, he’s focused on recovery. When SRT rescued him, Dozer was extremely matted and in desperate need of some TLC. He spent hours on the grooming table getting all those mats carefully removed and enjoyed a much-needed bath. Through it all, Dozer was the sweetest, most patient pup—calm, compliant, and full of gentle spirit. Dozer has met several other dogs and gets along well with them. Right now, he’s looking for a special foster home where he can rest comfortably, take it easy, but still get gentle walks to keep his muscles strong during recovery. Could you be the kind heart to help Dozer heal and thrive? If you have a calm space and lots of love to give, Dozer would be forever grateful! Apply to foster/adopt Dozer under the Adopt tab. When ready, his adoption fee is $400
