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 easygoing Lyle, an 8-year-old, 22 lb Terrier who was pick up by a Good Samaritan after seeing him get dumped. This boy is very sweet and is good with other dogs and seems to enjoy doing a little yoga. He is crate trained and just recently arrived to SRT so we are still learning about him. He did fine at his vet visit. Not surprising at all, he tested positive for heartworm disease. As more is learned about him, we’ll update his bio. He should be ready for adoption in early December.

Not surprising at all, she tested positive for heartworm disease. After she is spayed and gets her dental she will start heartworm treatment.

Meet the sweet and tender Rylee, a fragile little Poodle who, at just 5 to 7 years old, weighs a mere 7 emaciated pounds. This tiny soul was discovered lying alone in the street, barely clinging to life, before a compassionate Good Samaritan brought her to a local shelter. It was there that the unfortunate truth was revealed—the reality of her suffering was far worse than anyone could have imagined. Rylee is facing a battle for her life, grappling with multiple pelvic fractures likely caused by a vehicle that carelessly left her for dead. Her tiny body was matted and caked with dirt, her skin riddled with fleas, and teeming with intestinal parasites. As if that weren’t enough, she is also suffering from heartworm disease, a heart-wrenching indication of neglect and abandonment. After being rescued, Rylee received some much-needed love on the grooming table, where the knots and mats that had become her prison were gently removed. She had a soothing bath that helped wash away some of her suffering, preparing her for the medical care she so desperately needs. A devoted volunteer then transported her from Spring to Nederland, so Dr. Hanson could examine her fragile little body. Rylee is scheduled for surgery on Monday—a crucial step toward her recovery, and Dr. Hanson is hopeful that she can heal without suffering long-term issues. However, her surgery comes with a hefty price tag of $2,500, and that’s just the beginning. Afterward, Rylee will need to undergo spaying, dental work, and heartworm treatment, all essential to give her the chance at the happy life she so deserves. This tiny warrior needs us now more than ever, and your kindness can make a world of difference. Every donation, no matter how small, will bring Rylee one step closer to healing and a brighter future filled with love and warmth. Please consider supporting her journey; together, we can help Rylee reclaim her life. Thank you for your compassion!
Donations can be made using ZELLE or VENMO at SRT@SchnauzerRescueTexas.me or under the HELP US tab on the website.
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.
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.
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.
