Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston

“Tonight, I need your sweet caress;  Hold me in the darkness!  Tonight, you calm my restlessness;  You relieve my sadness!  So raise your hand to heaven and pray;  That we’ll be back together someday!”  I’d love to be together with you in your loving forever home!  I’m Beaux and I’m a male, salt & pepper Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  Handsome - yes!  And I’ll be even more so when my hair grows back completely!  I’m about three years old and I weigh about fourteen pounds.  My foster mom says I’m super sweet and just the best dog!  I love to be brushed and I’ll jump right in mom’s lap if I think there’s a chance she’ll pet me!  I’m active and I love playing outside.  I play well with other dogs and I play well with little humans too!  I could be a perfect family pet!  I’m crate trained and house trained as well.  I also know how to use a doggy door….and I really use it too because I don’t want to miss a thing going on outside!  I enjoy playing fetch!  I love to play with my toys and, if they are toys that look like squirrels, I like them even better.  Squirrels….it’s a Schnauzer thing!  And another favorite thing - that car!  I love car rides!  Almost as much as I love my walks!  I love sleeping close to my human.  I prefer the big bed but, if it’s too crowded, I’m just as happy in a dog bed in your room.  “As I watch you move, across the moonlit room;  There’s so much tenderness in your loving!”  Let me experience that first hand!  Ask for me, Beaux, on your MSRH adoption application.  Adoption Fee:  $450

“In a dream you are here;  You smile and hold me near.  And in my heart I’ll pretend that you are here again.  Hear me cryin’ out to you!  You said, “Never, never would I leave”.  Here’s a tear from me to you and maybe it will make you hear me.”  I’m Sammy and I’m a male, kind-of salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I think I have a little Yorkie in me.  Dad?  Hello?  Oh well.  I’m less than one year old and I weigh only twelve pounds!  Even though I’m young, I’m already house trained with a doggy door!  I love to ride in the car….you open the door and I’m going to come running!  I get along with other dogs and, being young, I of course love to play!  I have some puppy energy and I can get excited when I’m playing.  I love my walks and I’m pretty good on a leash.  But I also enjoy cuddle time….I get to sleep with my foster parents in their bed with two other Schnauzers!  A nice cuddled up pack!  Mom says I’m super sweet!  “I loved you;  You didn’t feel the same.  Though we’re apart, you’re in my heart.  Give me one more chance to make it real.”  I don’t want or need to look back.  Help me look forward!  Ask for me, Sammy, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“Precious and few are the moments we two can share.  Quiet and blue, like the sky, I’m hung over you.  And if I can’t find my way back home, it just wouldn’t be fair.  Precious and few are the moments we two can share.”  “Baby, it’s you on my mind, your love is so rare.  Being with you is a feeling I just can’t compare.”  I’m Marla and I’m a white, female Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about three years old and I weigh about twelve pounds.  I’ll tell you up front that I’m a bit like the gal that’s hard to get to know….but once you know her, you love her!  I have some trust issues but I’ve come so far since being rescued by MSRH!  I don’t like to be picked up….at least not right away.  But if you have some patience, loyalty will be my biggest strength!  I’m crate trained and house trained with a doggy door.  I also get along well with other dogs.  I could be by myself or in a home with another four legged friend.  I need a little time….but what I really need is you!  Ask for me, Marla, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“I find I spend my time waiting on your call.  How can I tell you, babe, my back’s against the wall.  I need you by my side, to tell me it’s alright.  ‘Cause I don’t think I can take anymore!  Is this love that I’m feeling?  Is this the love that I’ve been searching for?  Is this love or am I dreaming?”  I hope I’m not dreaming!  You….Me….We’re made for each other!  I’m Flynn and I’m a black, male Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a natural tail.  I’m less than one year old and I weigh about fourteen pounds.  I’m a puppy and I still have some puppy energy.  I can jump like a circus act!  Once I even jumped up on an outside window ledge so I could watch my foster mom inside!  But I also have a soft side to me as well!  I love to cuddle in your arms.  You’ll love my soft coat.  MSRH thinks I might have a little bit of poodle in me!  Oh good - a Schnoodle!  I get along very well with other dogs so I can go to a forever home and be your only four-legged friend or be one of the pack!  I’m crate trained and I think I’m house trained too.  Mom says 99%.  Same thing!  I’m super sweet and I know we’ll make a fine pair!  This must be love!  We’re meant for each other!  Ask for me, Flynn, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“I could stay awake just to hear you breathing;  Watch you smile while you are sleeping.  Far away and dreaming, I could spend my life in this sweet surrender!  Every moment spent with you, is a moment I treasure!  I don’t wanna close my eyes, I don’t wanna fall asleep, ’cause I’d miss you…..And I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing!”  If you take me to your forever home, that’s exactly how it’s going to be!  I’m Dozer and I’m a male, salt & pepper Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about six years old and I weigh eighteen pounds.  I’m as sweet as they come….so sayeth my foster mom!  I’m still very playful and I enjoy a good romp in the yard!  I get along with other dogs very well.  I’m crate trained and house trained.  My favorite spot?  Wherever you are!  I don’t want to miss a thing!  And you don’t want to miss out on me!  Ask for me, Dozer, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“I don’t know why I like you - I just do.  I’ve been hearing your heartbeat inside of me;  I keep your photo right beside my bed.  Livin’ in a world of fantasies, I can’t get you out of my head.  I get so emotional, baby;  Every time I think of you!”  My name is Carly and I’m a female, black & white Schnauzer mix with natural ears and a natural tail.  I’m about six years young and I weigh about twenty-four pounds.  I was a mess when I was rescued by MSRH….and I was really sick too.  They showered me with love and, though I’ll need to be on medications from now on (the cost is about $150 per month unfortunately), I’m back to my old self!  I was having some trouble with my house training given how sick I was, but I’m getting the hang of it now that my sickness is behind me.  My foster family is the best…I get so emotional when I think about them!  I love to go on walks with them and I am really interested in squirrels….they have nice tails too!  I like to just sit and watch them in the yard.  Sometimes I hide like they can’t see me!  I don’t play much with toys or even other pets.  I’m not aggressive with other animals, I just, well, ignore them!  I like it best just me and you!  I’m very quiet - I rarely bark - and I think, given my laid back style, I’d do best in an all-adult home.  I’m still a little timid….and I don’t like the dark much.  I love to ride in the car but more than anything, I love cuddle time on the couch.  So if you like to sit….and if you like to make a special needs girl feel special….then I’m the girl for you!  ”I get so emotional, baby!  Ain’t it shocking what love can do?!”  Don’t make me wait any more!  Ask for me, Carly, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $250

“Whenever I call you “Friend”, I begin to think I understand.  Anywhere we are, you and I have always been, ‘ever and ‘ever!  I see myself within your eyes, and that’s all I need to show me why;  Everything I do always takes me home to you!  And now I know my life has given me more than memories;  Day by day, we can see in every moment there’s a reason to carry on.”  I’m Lilly and I was in a loving forever home but my owner died and the family asked MSRH to help them find a new forever home where I’ll be loved just like I was in my first!  That’s a different tale than most here at MSRH - but that’s the truth!  My owner was elderly so I’ve been used to a pretty quiet and calm environment.  I’m a white, female Miniature Schnauzer who is about seven years old and weighs twenty-three pounds.  I’ve got natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m house trained and crate trained too.  I get along with other dogs - and children too - but, given my background, I’d prefer to be your only four-legged friend.  Just us adults!  I’d just love to be with a retired couple who can spend maximum time with me!  I’m a good traveler and I’m even better at snuggling up on the couch to watch TV!  Don’t you think I’ll be perfect for you?!  I want to call you friend!  Ask for me, Lilly, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $250

“I get that foggy feeling, when I’m feeling down.  But it’s hard to keep believing, I’ll even come out even;  While the rain beats your hope in the ground.  And tonight, it’s really coming down!  But there will always be tomorrow;  And I’ll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine!  And I’ll put this cloud behind me - that’s how the Man designed me!”  I’m No Stranger To The Rain!  I’m Jasper (pictures on top) and this is my pal Teddy.  We’ve grown up together and it would be fun to stay together but we like other dogs too….so as long as we have a playmate in our new forever home, we’ll be just fine!  I’m a male, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail. I’m just under four years old and I weigh eighteen pounds.  Teddy is a male, black Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  He’s about five years old and he weighs fifteen pounds.  I’m the more energetic of us and I love to play outside and chase squirrels or wrestle with Teddy.  Teddy’s more of a lap-dog and likes humans more than most other dogs.  But we both like a good rub and our foster mom says we’re both calm and relaxed.  We’re both crate trained.  We’re both house trained but Teddy is the more trustworthy of us…..but it’s only an issue if you leave me alone for very long periods of time!  And we know you’re not going to do that!  We can both be snuggle bunnies and we’re looking for a home where there’s nothing but sunshine!  Can you bring a couple good boys out from the rain?  Whether together or separate, we know there is a forever home for one or both of us!  Ask for us - Jasper & Teddy - on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350 each or $600 for both.

“It was nothing at all, like anything I had felt before.  And it was nothing at all, and I thought no, it’s so much more!  No one else has ever made me feel this way.  When I asked you how you did it, you just say,  ‘It was nothing at all’.”  That’s how I felt when I was rescued by MSRH!  Wow - what a difference!  And I bet that’s how I feel when you pick me up and take me to your forever home!  I’m Tiki and I’m a male, salt & pepper Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about four years old and I weigh fourteen pounds.  I love to play and I get along very well with other dogs.  I also like being cuddled and especially like hugs from my human!  I’ll give you kisses and then just look at you with my adoring eyes!  My foster mom says I’m a really good boy and any home would be lucky to have me!  Oh, it was nothing at all!!  Ask for me, Tiki, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“Just when I thought I’d had enough;  All my tears were shed.  No promise left unbroken;  There were no painful words unsaid.  You came along and showed me how to leave it all behind.  You opened up my heart again and then much to my surprise,  I found love.”   That Bonnie Rait song always comes to mind when I think about my situation.  I was an owner surrender.  It hurts.  I’m looking for a master but I don’t like all the games of competing for affection.  I’m independent and I know I can be a bit of a pistol when I’m not in my ideal environment.  You can see it in my piercing eyes.  But what’s behind that look is a girl who needs to be loved.  By you and only you.  No spouse, no kids, no other pets…..just me and you.  That’s when I’m happiest.  That’s when I’m at my best.  I’m Bonnie and I’m a female, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural (stand-up) ears and a docked tail.  I’m about ten years old and I weigh a trim fifteen pounds.  As the other Bonnie would say, “When did the choices get so hard?  With so much more at stake.  Life gets mighty precious when there’s less of it to waste.”  Give me a chance.  I need you - and I’ll love you back - all in the ‘Nick of Time’.  Ask for me, Bonnie, on your MSRH application.  Adoption Fee:  $150
