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!
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!

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 Dolly, an 8-year-old, 15 lb. Miniature Schnauzer who came to Schnauzer Rescue when her owner died. Sadly, no one in the family was able to keep her. She’s house-crate and leash-trained and is a sweet friendly pup and good with children and other dogs. No vet history was provided for her, so she will be headed to one of the rescue’s vets for exam and whatever else is needed. Stay tuned for updates from her foster.
Meet Ammo, an 8-year-old, 15 lb. Miniature Schnauzer who came to Schnauzer Rescue when his owner died. Sadly, no one in the family was able to keep him. He’s house-crate and leash-trained and is a sweet friendly pup and good with children and other dogs. No vet history was provided for him, so he will be headed to one of the rescue’s vets for exam and whatever else is needed. Stay tuned for updates from his foster.
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
Duncan, is a 2-year-old, 10-lb male, maybe a schnoodle who came from a hoarding situation. This little tyke is very scared and has been with a wonderful foster giving him time to decompress and learn that he is safe. It is going to take some time for him to feel that strangers can be kind. We’ll update as he progresses.
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. 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. She’s always happy to soak up pets, cuddles, and affection, and she’ll gladly snuggle with anyone willing to love on her. She’s also an A+ houseguest! Camila Rose is house-trained, has mastered the doggy door, is crate-trained (although she’d much rather sleep snuggled up with her family), and is learning that leash walks can be pretty fun. 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. Now she’s ready for a family who will take care of her—showering her with love, belly rubs, cozy beds, and all the happiness she’s missed. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with a heart of gold, Camila Rose may be your perfect match.

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
