Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston

We’re dedicated to adopting out our rescued Schnauzers and are thus committed to responding to your adoption application in a timely fashion.  If you have completed your application and you haven’t heard from anyone within 48 hours, please email us at adoptionform@msrh.org or call us at 713-513-7811.

The adoption application must be filled out prior to contacting MSRH about adopting one of our rescues.  All applications will be held for thirty days.  If MSRH has not been contacted during that time, the application will be deleted.  If you are interested in a specific dog, please let us know within the application.  If you find a new companion and are no longer interested in adopting a schnauzer from MSRH, please let us know that as well!

Volunteers at Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston, Inc. are dedicated to this breed.  We ask many questions of prospective adopters because we want the rescued dogs to find a home that’s just the right match for their specific personality.  Many of our rescues come to us from a less-than-desirable place and we want their next home to be a home for the rest of their lives.  A home visit is usually required.

Please be sure to educate yourself before choosing a dog of any breed.  If you’ve never had a Miniature Schnauzer as a pet before, please read and learn about the breed before deciding if this is the breed for you and your family.  The best decisions are informed decisions!  The “Our Resources” section of the web site contains some information about Miniature Schnauzers.

Our adoption fees generally run between $150 and $450 though there are certainly exceptions.  These fees help cover veterinary services including spay/neuter, shots, heartworm test (and treatment if positive), dental work as required and a microchip.  In short,  those who adopt dogs from MSRH can be assured the dog is healthy and thoroughly vetted.
