Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston

(click image to enlarge)
Hello,

My name is Maggie Jane. I am a precious S/P Schnauzer girl with natural ears and a docked tail. I am 10 months old, my birthday is June 6, 2007 and I weigh 16 pounds.

There are three words that best describe me … SWEET, LOVING and GENTLE. I have lots of puppy energy, am full of curiosity and just a real loving sweetheart. I am at a perfect age for training and am learning the basic commands of sit and stay. I can walk on a leash and am almost housetrained.

I am NOT crated and never want to be; I love sleeping in the big bed with my foster mom, I am a great cuddlier.

I like playing with my Schnauzers friends so it would be nice to have a 4-legged companion to keep me company. I love my squeaky toys and also enjoy riding in the car.

If you are an experienced pet owner with time and patience, remember I am still a puppy, than please ask for me when filling out the adoption application. No children under 10 years please.

Love,

Maggie

Think you have seen the cutest little 5 year old male Schnauzer there is? Well, you don’t know Jack.

Jack was found around the end of February, 2008. All in all, he was in pretty good shape. He has had his teeth cleaned, been groomed, been neutered and has the microchip.

He plays with our other two miniatures and gets along great with them. He is very loving and likes to sit on the couch at night after dinner and take naps.

He has started learning tricks and can now “sit”, “turn around”, “stand up” and we’re almost “shaking hands”.

He is the sweetest little guy. When we got Jack, he was a ball of fur and underweight. He now weighs about 18 lbs and stands about 15 inches high. He is a very light gray and has had his ears and tail cropped. He looks “distinguished” and is very much a “gentleman” around our 2 mini girls.

Come take a look at this little guy – He’s a keeper!

MOLLY SUE AND SHASTA MARIE

The old adage that good things come in small packages is certainly true when it comes to these wonderful, little girls. And little they are! Molly Sue who is around two years old weighs only 7.5 pounds, and Shasta Marie who is not quite one year old weighs about 9 pounds. They are almost small enough to carry in a lady’s purse. However they do not know they are small. They are feisty and fun, and they love to play with each other and with their toys. Their adopters won’t have to house break them as they have already mastered that and Shasta uses the doggie door full speed. Molly is not as fast going through the door but she has mastered it. The vet has spayed them and given them a clean bill of health so they are ready for their next adventures. They must be adopted together. No children under 10 years.

Fritz is a beautiful white male mini with cropped ears and tail. His
manners are impeccable. He came to rescue when one of his owners died
and the other went to assisted living. Fritz was frightened and
confused by these events when he arrived at his foster home. But
after a couple of weeks he has mastered the dogie door, likes to play
with toys and tolerates the other minis in his foster home. Since he
was an only child for 10 years, he would be best as an only dog or
with another docile companion. He walks well on the leash likes to
ride in the car and will lay on your lap to watch a movie. He is
really looking forward to finding his forever home.

Hi!! My name is Don and I was one year old on March 6th of this year. I am a black neutered male and I weigh almost 13 pounds. I have had all my shots and have been micro chipped.

I am looking for a very loving home as I love to play. I can walk on a leash and I am crate trained. I have not learned how to use the doggy door at my foster home, but I am sure that my foster mom plans on teaching me!!!! I seem to be house trained, but have not been at my foster home long enough to really know.

I don’t bark alot but I do have a voice!! I am getting along with the other fosters at my home and am ready for my own home. If you would like a very sweet, cuddly boy, please ask for me on your application.

This is Shakespeare and Coco. They have to be adopted together. Shakespeare was born on 2/15/07 and weighs 16.2 pounds and has been neutered. Coco was born on 2/26/05 and weighs 9.4 pounds and has been spayed. Both have been micro chipped. They are very sweet and would like to find a very loving home where they will be together and give you lots of kisses. Coco is a yorkie poo and Shakespeare is a Schnauzer. We are working on the house training and they do not know how to use a doggy door yet. They are also working on using a leash. If you are interested in seeing Coco and Shakespeare, please ask for them on your application.

Stanley is a 1 year old black male with natural ears and a docked tail. He weighs about 15 lbs. If you are interested in meeting him, ask for him on your application. Full biography and picture to follow.

We are so happy to have Rex Morgan Harris as part of our family. Our daughter, Alli, has had a Miniature Schnauzer for eight years, so our son, Mark, wanted one of his own also.
Rex sleeps with Mark every night. This is a picture of Rex’s first night in his new home.
Thank you so much for rescuing him. We are very happy to have Rex, and he sure seems happy to be here!

Travis, Kim, Alli & Mark Harris

My name is Pepper. I am originally from Dallas, but oh, so glad to be in Houston. I am around 8 years old, but act much younger. My previous owner had me for 6 years. I have been neutered, given all my shots and micro chipped. I am house trained and know how to use the doggy door. I love to play and get along with my other fosters. I am looking for just that right home!!! I am a little over weight, but my foster mom is working on that. We go for a walk every day and I think she said that we are walking a mile (whatever that is). If you want a really sweet guy who will be your very loyal companion, please ask for Pepper when you fill out the application.
