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 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 came from a backyard breeder and was definitely neglected. Sadly, she has tested positive for heartworm disease, so she will need to go through treatment and won’t be available for adoption until mid July. Despite all of that, she has a calm, peaceful demeanor and is the kind of pup who’s simply happy being near you without demanding constant attention. If you’re looking for an easygoing companion who enjoys a cozy spot and a calm home, Tessi may be your girl. She’s quiet, well-mannered, and seems content with the simple things—comfort, safety, and a little love. Tessi would be a wonderful fit for someone wanting a lower-maintenance companion with a tender soul. Her sweet spirit shines right through it. She deserves a soft landing with someone who sees how special she is and wants to help her feel her very best. Click the Adopt tab, complete your application asking for Tessie. Adoption fee $200
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 Karlie – A Brave Little Fighter Ready for a Fresh Start!
Say hello to sweet Karlie, an 8-pound bundle of courage with a story that will tug at your heartstrings. This little girl was left to roam the streets, and tragically, she was hit by a car. Did her previous owners rush her to the vet? Sadly, no. They waited two long weeks before surrendering her to a shelter — where her future took a hopeful turn. When rescue stepped in, they found Karlie unable to walk on her back right leg. Time had passed, and her bones were healing—but not the way they should. Without hesitation, SRT whisked her off to an orthopedic surgeon who performed surgery, implanting a plate and pins to set her leg right. Now, just two weeks post-surgery, Karlie is already showing amazing progress! She’s eager to play and keep up with the other pups, but she still has six more weeks of healing ahead. Though she’s a busy little girl with lots of energy, she also loves snuggling up close with her humans. Karlie is looking for a loving foster home where she can rest, recover, and get all the care she needs until she’s ready for adoption. Could you be the special someone to help this brave girl on her road to recovery? Click the adopt tab to foster/adopt Karlie. 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
Welcome Mochi a black and white Miniature Poodle mix who is about six years old and weighs about thirteen pounds. This boy was surrender to a shelter as his family couldn’t afford his care–which included heartworm prevention. Poor guy has heartworm disease and will need to go through treatment. He’s a sweet pup who does fine with other dogs, is good being picked up and bathed and is crate trained. He’s with a temporary foster while SRT looks for someone who can keep him through his treatment. He has been neutered and is up to date on his vaccines. He will be ready for adoption in mid-May.
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.
