Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston

“Armed with an attitude that she knows how to use;  She’s gonna get there any way she can.  Now she knows what she wants;  No one is gonna stop her.  Nothing’s ever gonna hold her down.  For all the doubters, non-believers and the cynical that once were dreamers, one of these days you’ll open your eyes and realize…..”  I’m Lindsey and I’m a female, white, brown-spotted Schnauzer mix with natural ears and a natural tail.  I’m just over one year old and I weigh about thirteen pounds.  My foster mom says I’m super sweet!  I’m a puppy and I’ve got a lot of puppy energy but I’ve also been developing my forever home skills!  I’m house trained too!  I’ll give you a little cry at the door when I need to go outside.  I don’t really like the crate.  At night, I prefer to be right by you….in the big people bed!  I love to play with other dogs.  I’d probably be best in a home with at least one other four-legged friend.  Mom thinks I’d be good with kids though I haven’t been exposed to them yet.  I’m still a little shy when meeting new people, I scare easily and I really don’t like to be left alone much….but I’m getting better by the day!  Mom has me going to doggy day care one day per week and I really like this type of ‘training’!  It’s helped me a lot!  Thanks mom!  “……And you’ll look back and you won’t believe that girl was me.”  Do you have a forever home for a girl like me - a girl who’s finding herself?  I bet you do!  Ask for me, Lindsey, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350.

“Only as far as I reach can I grow;  Only as far as I seek can I go.  Only as deep as I look can I see;  Only as much as I dream can I be.”  I’m Burk and I’m a male, salt & pepper Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about eight-to-nine years young and I weigh sixteen pounds.  My dream?  I’d love to be a lap dog in a retired person’s home!  I’m good with other dogs but I’d be better as an only four-legged friend!  Like some Schnauzers, I can be a little strong willed!  I’m very sweet and I want nothing more than your hand on my back, giving me a little pet!  I battled heartworms and won - - and now I’m 100% healthy awaiting your forever home!  Come take me away and show me a real ‘dog’s life’!  Ask for me, Burk, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $250

“A high roller even when the chips are down.  ‘Til it’s time for a windfall and not a single minute too soon.  I’ve been too long overdue, now I’m gonna shoot the moon.  I’d bet it all on a good run of bad luck.  Seven come eleven and she could be mine.  Luck be a lady, and I’m gonna find love comin’ on the bottom line!”  I’m Donovan and I’m a male, salt & pepper Schnauzer with cropped ears and a docked tail.  I’m at least five years old and I weigh nineteen pounds.  My bottom line is finding my way into a laid back forever home where we just sit around and look lovingly on each other!  That’s my ‘lady luck’!  I’m crate trained and I’m house trained with a doggy door.  I like watching other dogs but I won’t be interacting with them much.  That takes energy.  And I spent mine rolling dice!   I am quiet in the inside but a bit of a barker on the outside.  I also have a unique adversion to storm drains.  If I see one on my walk, I just stop!  If you walk me in the middle of the street when you see one coming, I seem to do OK.  I don’t need much in the way of a forever home.  You, me, a comfortable couch and a hand on my back!  A treat or two is a plus.  And a couch.  Did I mention that?  Right.  Well, I bet you have that set-up already in place!  So what are you waiting for?  Roll the dice!  And bring me to your bottom line!  Ask for me, Donovan, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

Hey folks - Gentry the Gentleman is my name.  I was just reading the Gentleman’s Quarterly magazine.  Not much in there that would interest your normal dog…..but then I’m no regular dog.  I did learn that Gentlemen prefer blondes.  Actually, I’m not that particular myself.  A loving forever home is all I really want!   Now, though not what a gentleman should do, let’s focus on me for a minute.  I’m a salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about seven years old and I weigh a healthy twenty pounds now thanks to my foster mom.  Excuse me miss, might I partake of your treats?  My foster mom says I’m really sweet.  I’m generally good with other dogs.  I love being brushed and groomed.  Could you pass the hair gel?  I’m also house trained and know how to use the doggie door.  I’m very quiet - as a gentleman should be.  I’ve even learned my leash skills!  Overall, I’m a low key guy.  I love my walks but other than that, it’s relax and love!  At night, I love laying in the big bed right next to you.  I won’t move a muscle so as not to disturb your sleep…..really!  Like a gentleman.  So, if you have enough background, how ’bout we enter into a Gentlemen’s (or Gentlewomen’s) Agreement?  You ask for me, Gentry, on your MSRH application.  I’ll bring my manners to your forever home!  Experienced Schnauzer owners only and no children please.  Adoption Fee:  $350

“No, I would not sleep in this bed of lies.  So toss me out and turn in.  And there will be no rest for these tired eyes.  I’m marking it down to learning, I am.”  And that’s about the size of it.  I had a home and they were supposed to take care of me.  But they didn’t.  And then they just turned me in saying they couldn’t care for me.  As if they had before - I mean, I had heartworms for Pete’s sake!  Hmmf.  Well, I’m in a better place now and I’m going to look forward, not back.  I’m Bartolo and I’m a male, black Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about nine years old and I weigh 18 pounds.  I’ve become quite the handsome man now that my furnishings have returned!  My foster mom says I’m very sweet.  I’m house trained and I’ll stay inside the crate (but honestly, I don’t like it very much).  I like to play with other dogs and I get along with them very well.  I’d like to be with experienced Schnauzer owners and in an all-adult home as young children make me a little nervous.  A great evening for me is cuddling up in your lap.  I love to be held - even if you’re grooming me!  If you’re a home where no lies will be told, then I’d love to be there with you!  Ask for me, Bartolo, on your MSRH application.  Adoption Fee:  $250

“…..Thursday, Friday - Happy Days!  Saturday - what a day!  Rockin’ all week with you!  These days are ours - happy and free!  These days are ours - share them with me!”  My name is Fonzie - but you can call me….wait for it….’The Fonz’!   I’m a male, dark salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about five years old and I weigh twenty-one pounds.  I’m crate trained and house trained with a doggy door.  I’m a sweet guy and I just love to have you pet me.  A little more  please…..thank you.  I’m an active five-year old and I just love to run and play!  I think I’d do really well in a home where there was a four-legged playmate for me!  But if you’re active yourself and want to take me on walks or to the dog park, The Fonz could come to your place too!  “Goodbye grey skies, hello blue!  ‘Cause nothin’ can hold me when I hold you!  Feels so right, it can’t be wrong!  Rockin’ and rollin’ all week long!”  These Happy Days are yours and mine!  Ask for me, The Fonz (or Fonzie if you prefer!), on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

The most beautiful of young men was the son of King Sinyras of Cyprus and Myrrha.  The gods turned Myrrha into a tree and, out of its trunk, Adonis was born.  When Aphrodite saw him she fell desperately in love, and when he was killed while hunting a wild boar, she pleaded with Zeus to bring him back.  Zeus agreed but Adonis had to stay in the underworld during winter and be with Aphrodite in the summer thus making the vegetation die in the winter and blossom in the summer.  So - as summer approaches - I am your blossom!  I’m Adonis, a most handsome male, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about six years old and I weigh thirty pounds!  My hair is growing back as you can see in the two pictures on the right and, just as I suspected, the ladies just can’t get enough of me!  But I only have love for a forever home family!  I’m very affectionate and I love to be petted.  I’m bigger than many Schnauzers but that doesn’t stop me from thinking I’m a lap dog!  I’m crate trained but still need help and practice with my house training.  I’m working on it….a handsome man should also be house trained I’m told!  Sometimes I make funny noises to entertain you.  My foster mom says that I know how to ’moo’!  Stop it mom….handsome men don’t moo.  Spring is here and I want to be the blossom that brightens your home!  Ask for me, Adonis - Mr. Handsome - on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“I dreamed a dream in time gone by;  When hope was high and life worth living.  I dreamed that love would never die;  I dreamed that God would be forgiving.  Then I was young and unafraid;  And dreams were made and used and wasted.  There was no ransom to be paid;  No song unsung, no wine untasted.”  Sometimes dreams end and that makes me a little bit afraid and nervous about the future.  But the good news is that new dreams take the place of lost dreams!  And my dream is for a compassionate person or couple to love and nurture me in a forever home!  I’m Torrey and I’m a female, silver & white parti-colored Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about two years old and I weigh sixteen pounds.  I know some basic commands and I’m learning to walk on a leash.  I’m house trained with a doggy door!  I’m a good traveler so if you’re on the go, that’s good by me!  I can be a bit of a runner though so don’t take me anywhere without my leash on.  For that reason, I might be best in a home without small children.  I sometimes - not always - like to play with my Schnauzer friends…but I have a distinct preference for females.  Boys have kooties.  I’d be OK as your only four-legged friend or OK with a friend.  Fine - I’ll tolerate a boy if I have to!  I am a little skittish around new faces but, once I warm up to you, we’ll be inseparable!  Just spend some time with me….and love me.  “And still I dream (they’ll) come to me;  And we’ll live our lives together!”  Let’s start our life together!  Ask for me, Torrey, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“I know a place where no one´s lost.  I know a place where no one cries.  Crying at all is not allowed.  Not in my castle on a cloud.”  My castle on a cloud is in my dreams today but you can make it come true!  I’m Punkin and I’m a female, salt & pepper Schnauzer with cropped ears and a docked tail.  I’m between four and five years old and I weigh sixteen pounds.  I know some of my basic commands and I’m learning how to walk on a leash - I love to walk!  I’m house trained with a doggy door.  No crate needed (and I don’t like it much).  I’m friendly with other dogs and my ideal castle will have a four-legged playmate with me.  I don’t like to play with small, two-legged playmates….so I’m best in an all adult home.  I like to travel to places and I ride well in the car.  At night, my favorite place to bed is in, well, your bed!  “There is a lady all in white.  Holds me and sings a lullaby.  She´s nice to see and she´s soft to touch.  She says: ” Punkin, I love you very much!”  That’s the place I want to be - my castle on a cloud!  Bring me to your castle!  Ask for me, Punkin, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“What is love?  Don’t hurt me, no more.  What is love?  I don’t know why you’re not fair.  I give you my love, but you don’t care.  So what is right
and what is wrong?  Gimme a sign!”  Well, I didn’t like the signs I was getting in my last place but - thanks to MSRH - I’m back on my feet and ready to experience real love in your forever home!   I’m Brandi and I’m a female, chocolate parti-colored Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about eighteen months old and I weigh about thirteen pounds.  I have beautiful amber colored eyes!  I’m used to fending for myself so I can be a little possessive and bossy.  Given just that tad of an attitude, I think I’d probably be best in an adult home or a home with older children.  But I do get along with other dogs too….so whether by myself or with another playmate, I’m going to be OK!  I’m house trained with a doggy door but I don’t care for the crate.  I know some basic commands and I’m learning more every day.  I like to travel - so take me wherever you go!  I’m not sure what that leash thing is they keep trying to attach to me - I’d much prefer you just carry me!  And at night, just carry me to your bed…I’ll be just fine buried underneath the covers!  So, What Is Love?  “I know we’re one - just me and you.”  Show me your love!  Ask for me, Brandi, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450
