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!
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’s scheduled for surgery 6/23/26 for the amputation and to repair the broken pelvis. Momo will need a foster after his surgery so that he can recover.
Meet Gio, a 7-year-old, 18 lb. black and white 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.
Camila Rose, 3 yrs., 12 lb.s is completing her mom duties by this weekend. Sadly she tested positive for heartworm disease, so it will be a few months before she is ready for adoption.
Aristotle is a 1-year-old, female standard schnauzer mix who is about 33 lbs. She is shy meeting new people, but allowed handling and to be given her vaccines. Aristotle has a foster in Corpus Christi and her bio will be updated once we know more about her.
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 Tessi 💕
Tessi is a 10-year old, twenty pound white Miniature Schnauzer who is a sweet, gentle little lady. She asks for very little and gives a lot of quiet companionship in return.

She’s quiet, well-mannered, and seems content with the simple things—comfort, safety, and a little love.

Fenway was traveling the rough streets of Houston until a Good Samaritan saved him from being hit by a car at a very busy intersection. He was not traveling with his papers, or collar and tag, and did not have a microchip. He’s headed to the vet for an exam, vaccines, and heartworm testing. So far, his foster knows he is kid-friendly, even with toddlers, and loves to play with other pups. He’s even good with the cat. He has a playful, loving personality. Once we know more about any health conditions, we’ll update his bio. Stay tuned for updates.
Livy is a brave and sweet 3-year-old terrier weighing just 18 lbs, who’s had a tough start to life living on the streets. Every day, a kind-hearted Good Samaritan spotted her while heading to work and couldn’t bear the thought of her getting hurt in the busy area. After patiently gaining her trust with food and water, they finally caught Livy and brought her safely to Schnauzer Rescue Texas. Since arriving, Livy has been to the vet and, as expected, was diagnosed with heartworm disease and some skin issues from flea infestations and life outdoors. But don’t worry—she’s had several refreshing baths and is now sparkling clean! She’s started on medication for both her skin and heartworms, and she’s on the road to recovery with a full treatment plan ahead. Livy is a little shy at first but absolutely melts when you give her belly rubs—her favorite! She gets along well with other dogs and seems to be crate trained, making her a wonderful companion in the making. Livy will be ready for adoption around the beginning of July, and she can’t wait to find a loving home where she can feel safe, cherished, and part of the family. Stay tuned for this sweet girl’s next chapter—and if you think you could be the perfect match for Livy, keep an eye out for updates!

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
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.
Meet Panda – The Little Fighter with the Biggest Heart! 🐼 Panda is a darling gray and white parti-colored Miniature Schnauzer who’s about four years old and weighs just eight pounds — the perfect little bundle of love!

Thanks to expert care, the right medication, and Panda’s own strong will, she’s made a miraculous recovery!
