Who We Are
Save A Schnauzer
Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston, Inc. (MSRH), is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization sponsored entirely by donations. We are dedicated to the never-ending, sometimes overwhelming, task of saving the lives of abused, abandoned, and/or unwanted Miniature Schnauzers who have lost their homes through no fault of their own.
We do not operate a shelter. Most of our dogs reside in loving foster homes, until they find their perfect forever home. Others spend time in a veterinary clinic for treatment, if needed, and a few may be kept in boarding where they can get training due to social issues. Many of our dogs come to us healthy. Others are sick or injured. They may come to us from shelters, from the streets, from puppy mills or from owners who cannot, or will not, care for them any longer. In almost all cases, at least in their recent past, they have not felt the security of a loving home.
Our goal is to ensure these fine dogs get healthy, never again face life in a dangerous situation, and instead live in a safe, loving, and secure home for the rest of their lives. Since February 2000, we have orchestrated over 3,000 adoptions.
Please Help US Help Jynx
Jynx is a 7 year old schnauzer that came to us after her owner passed away. Among many other issues, she was very lethargic due to what we discovered was a failing thyroid. After starting thyroid medication, Jynx is a new girl!
On top of her thyroid and skin issues, Jynx underwent a complicated surgery, with several unexpected and costly obstacles. She had a kidney removed that was so damaged it could’ve ruptured at any time, and she ended up having her gallbladder removed. We are hopeful she will be on the road to recovery soon and should live a normal life after all this!
Can you help us cover the $4,000 in veterinary care we have incurred saving Jynx? It’s only with your help that we can provide life saving and life changing care to the schnauzers we rescue.
Just click on the Paw abive to help Jynx. We appreciate anything you can give us!
Featured Pets
Mo Minnie & Jo Jenny
Meet Mo Minnie & Jo Jenny a sweet and inseparable pair, each with their own personality but deeply bonded in heart and spirit. Together, they bring a perfect balance of energy, love, and joy to any home lucky enough to have them. Mo Minnie is the confident explorer of the duo—curious, energetic, and always up for a walk or outdoor adventure. She’s got an independent streak, but don’t be fooled, she lights up the moment her humans return. After recently having her spleen removed, Mo showed just how resilient and brave she is, bouncing back with her happy spirit. While she gets along with other dogs, she mostly keeps to herself—unless it’s her sister, Jo. Jo Jenny, the quieter of the two, is a gentle soul with a playful side. She may be shy at first, but once comfortable, she’s full of energy. Jo is never far from her sister’s side and always wants to be close to her people. Small in size but huge in personality, she’s the snuggler, the shadow, and the sweetheart of the pair. If you’re looking for a perfectly paired set of loving companions who will bring laughter, warmth, and unconditional love to your life, Mo Minnie and Jo Jenny are ready to fill your heart—and your home.
If you are interested in any of our Schnauzers that are ready for adoption, please complete an Adoption Application, and an Adoption Counselor will be in touch with you.

Adoptable Dogs
ADOPTION COUNSELORS NEEDED
Would you enjoy working with our rescues and potential adopters? This volunteer will be speaking with potential adopters and learning what type of Schnauzer they are looking to adopt. This person will also be making phone calls to veterinarians for references and if needed, schedule a Home Visit to a potential adopter that has not previously had dogs. You can also help determine what type of dog will fit their lifestyle best and set up a meeting with the dog and the potential adopter. If you have the time and like meeting new people, we would love to have you join us.
If you are interested, please email Sandra@msrh.org or call (281) 336-1163 and leave a message.
A Rescue with a Heart
Each month MSRH takes in approx. 25 -30 dogs in need of forever homes. They come to us as owner surrenders, strays or directly from various animal shelters. Each rescue is then evaluated and fully vetted. Many are in need of medical support. MSRH treats many dogs each month for heartworms. Treatment is costly, but life saving. We have no shelter. We rely on loving foster homes to provide a nurturing environment until each rescue finds their new family. When we cannot find a foster home, or a new rescue needs some extra training, our rescues may be boarded. Boarding is costly, so we are always in need of foster families. If you are willing to open your home to one of our rescues, please fill out our Foster Application.
Please consider donating to help MSRH defray medical and monthly operating costs. Click on this link to donate. Under Payment Purpose, select Veterinary, Boarding or Unrestricted Donation. Thank you in advance for supporting MSRH. All monies donated benefit rescues in need. With your help we are finding forever homes for more rescues.
