It’s Sad To Lose A Friend

This section is dedicated to Schnauzers who have reached the Rainbow Bridge.  We will post a picture and one paragraph story for SRT adopters free of charge.  We will post the same for SRT friends who make a small donation to the organization.  Check out our ‘Store’ or ‘Help Us’ section to learn how to contribute.

Zeus / Gunnar

     

In September 2019 we adopted a Schnauzer named Zeus. We renamed him Gunnar and he was one of the best anyone could have. I say was because he passed away this morning very unexpectedly. My wife and I are heartbroken. He was a joy and blessing to have even for the short time we had him. Thank you all for allowing us a beautiful boy and thanks for all that you do. RIP Gunnar

Brinkley

     

Brinkley’s owner passed away and no one in the family was able to care for this fifteen year old pup in and let him live out his life. Fortunately a wonderful foster family stepped in to let him live out his days. He passed peacefully after almost six months in rescue. RIP Brinkley

Baloo

   

Baloo was rescued from a shelter and after seeing the SRT vet, he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He was so fortunate to have a wonderful foster family give him the best quality of life for the last eighteen months of his life. RIP sweet Baloo

Borys

        

Borys was rescued in July of 2022 and was diagnosed at that time as being in kidney failure. He had such a wonderful foster home who took excellent care of him until his diseased progressed. We’re so thankful for fosters willing to help the ones most in need. RIP Borys

Lucinda

Sadly Lucinda had several strokes and did not have a quality of life. While we only had her a short time, she had a wonderful loving foster home. RIP Lucinda

Jace

        

Jace was rescued from a shelter in Houston and had lots of medical issues with an enlarged heart and some spinal issues due to aging. A sweet boy and we tried everything to make him comfortable. His heart wasn’t strong enough though and we said goodby to him. RIP Sweet Jace

Moriah

       

We had to say goodby to Moriah as her cancer was back with a vengeance. She was the sweetest girl and we were so sad to lose her. RIP Moriah

Pepper

       

Pepper was rescued from the Houston Humane Society where her family had taken her to be put down. She was lucky to have been able to spend her last eight months with a wonder foster who gave her lots of love and TLC until it was her time to go to the rainbow bridge. RIP Pepper

Elana

   

Sadly we lost Elana after valiant attempts at the emergency vet to save her. Poor care and lack of heartworm prevention played a huge role in her health condition. She definitely deserved better. RIP Sweet Elana.

Luna Lu

   

Sweet Luna was rescued from a shelter after her family surrendered her. Once SRT rescued her, it was discovered she had some serious medical issues for which she was being treated. She was with a wonderful family who took excellent care of her and gave her lots of love. Today her kidneys failed her completely and the vet recommended euthanasia to end her suffering. RIP Luna

** My New Family ** Milo – formerly Captain

        

It’s with a very heavy heart that I have to tell you Milo crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. He just couldn’t beat the tumor and went into respiratory distress to the point that nothing could be done. He had a great couple of last months with all the treats he could eat. We came to love him but know that he’s able to run without having breathing issues. Thanks for trusting us with him!  RIP Milo

Beck

            

Beck was adopted in December 2020 after he was rescued from the streets. He caught a ride from Houston to his home in Lafayette, LA. His owners let us know he recently passed due to kidney failure. They said he was such a joy for them. They said they felt lucky to have him and he loved us and our other Mini Schnauzer “Toby”, and we loved him with all our hearts. Even with all his medical problems and costs to go with it (LOL) he was a gift from God. RIP Beck

Patience

                    

Patience was rescued in 2019 with lots of health issues, including cataracts. It took about eight months to get her healthy and her foster family adopted her.  She had a great five years with them and even though we did surgery on her eyes, she ended up losing both in 2020 but she was a firecracker and adapted to life. They tried the halo to help her navigate, but she preferred to do her own thing. She was well loved and had the best years of her life with her adopted family and recently passed at thirteen years old. RIP Patience.
