Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston

“When the truth is found to be lies;  And all the joy within you dies!  Don’t you want somebody to love?  Don’t you need somebody to love?  Wouldn’t you love somebody to love?  You better find somebody to love!”  I’m not only looking for someone to love, I am someone to love!  I’m back on my feet and ready to experience real love in your forever home!   I’m Brandi and I’m a female, liver colored Schnauzer with silver furnishings.  I have natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m somewhere around three years old and I weigh about thirteen pounds.  I have beautiful amber colored eyes!  I’m a loving young drama queen who’s just a little possessive of my loving human friends and a tad bit bossy with my four-legged friends!  Gentlemen, please!  Give the girl a little space!  Yea, it’s probably best if I go to a home where I’m your only four-legged friend.  No need for drama when there’s true love around!  I would also like to go to an all-adult home.  I’m house trained and doggy door trained.  There’s no need for a crate (and I don’t care for it much either).  More drama.  I know some basic commands and I’m learning more every day.  I like to travel – so take me wherever you go!  I’ve learned to walk on a leash….but wow, I sure did like it better when people carried me everywhere!  I still like being carried.  But a leash if I must.  Maybe at night, just at night, you can simply carry me to your bed…I’ll be just fine buried underneath the covers!  Or maybe you could carry me more than that!  So….Don’t You Want Somebody To Love?  There’s me and there’s you.  Together we can answer all of those questions!  Show me your love!  Ask for me, Brandi, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“I see you driving ’round town with the girl I love and I’m like, forget you!  I guess the change in my pocket just wasn’t enough;  I’m like, forget you!  And forget her too!  I said, if I was richer, I’d still be with ya.  And although there’s pain in my chest, I still wish you the best….with a Forget You!”  That’s kind of how I feel about my last “forever” home.  Hardly forever….geez, I’m only two years old!  But I’m a guy that looks forward, not back!  I”m Lawson and I’m a male, black & silver Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a natural tail.  I’m about two years old and I weigh seventeen pounds.  My coat is growing and I’m getting better looking by the day!  Look – a beard!!  I’m a good boy – I’m crate trained and I’m house trained too!  Though I’m very playful, I’m a little choosy about which dogs I get along with.  Though I get along OK with my foster siblings, given the choice, my preference is to just play by myself.  A few toys, your arm to wrestle with, a cozy bed…I’m all set!  I love the freedom of a backyard. It’s so much fun!  Watching.  Chasing.  Gazing.  A backyard in a forever home would be the best!  I like my walks and I do pretty well on a leash now.  I still don’t like my harness though.  I love my humans and I would be good with children.  I’ve been tested with some and I did great!  But it should be noted that I can be a little skittish at first with strangers.  It passes quickly enough.  I need a forever home that knows the meaning of the word ‘forever’!  I think it’s you!  So take that next step – ask for me, Lawson, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“I am so into you;  I can’t think of nothing else!  Thinkin’ how it’s gonna be;  Whenever I get you next to me!  It’s gonna be good.  Don’t you know?  From your head to to your toe;  Gonna love you all over!  Over and over!”  I’d like a forever home where someone loves me like that!  I’m Jasmine and I’m a female, silver Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a natural tail.  I’m about two years old and I weigh about twenty-four pounds.  I’m a very fun loving, energetic dog who loves to play but one who also enjoys significant cuddle time on the couch with you giving me a tummy rub!  I just love your attention!  I like all my humans and it doesn’t take me but a few minutes to warm up to guests in the house and then I’ll be snuggling up testing out their hands on my tummy too!  I like playing outside and enjoy watching birds.  I think I might learn to fly one day!  I’ll keep studying them.  I’m good around other dogs and can be in a home with or without another four-legged friend to play with.  I’m quite good at entertaining myself with stuffed toys!  I’m crate trained and I’m house trained when I’m on a regular schedule.  I’m learning my basic commands and am really getting the hang of it!  “Now I stand here helplessly;  Hoping you’ll get into me!  Me into you, you into me!”  I’m waiting and hoping!  Ask for me, Jasmine, on your MSRH adoption application!  Do it today!  Adoption Fee:  $450

“Now I like a woman who loves her freedom;  And I like a woman who can hold her own!  And if you fit that description, baby, come with me!  Take my hand, come with me, baby, to Love Land;  Let me show you how sweet it could be;  Sharing love with me!”  Sharing love.  That would be something nice!  I”m Max and I”m a male, salt & pepper Miniature Schnauzer with cropped ears and a docked tail.  I’m about ten years and I weigh about seventeen pounds.  There are benefits to maturity.  I’m calm but have just enough spunk to make me fun to be around!  I also know my manners and am both crate trained and house trained.  I like being with other dogs and I play well with them but in my forever home, I can be with or without other four-legged friends.  Mostly what I need is someone to care.  Someone to share love with.  Someone I can Float On with!  If I seem like a fit for you, just ask for me, Max, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $150

“Only you can make this world seem right.  Only you can make the darkness bright.  Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do.  And fill my heart with love for only you.  Only you can make this change in me.  For it’s true, you are my destiny!”  We’re just meant to be – I know it!  I’m Carrie Elizabeth and I’m a female, light brown Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a natural tail.  I’m about five years old and I weigh fourteen pounds.  I was a little shy when I first came to MSRH.  But not any more!  I love my human family and friends….and I’m as friendly as can be!  I love your attention and I want all that I can get!  I’d be great around children.  Your hand on my back is a good thing too!  I’m good with other dogs.  I have lots of energy and I think I really need a home with another four-legged friend.  I like outdoor time and I’m good on a leash.  I’m crate trained and house trained too!  “When you hold my (paw) I understand, the magic that you do.  You’re my dream come true – my one and Only You!”  It’s you, it has to be!  Ask for me, Carrie Elizabeth, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“It’s hard to believe that there’s nobody out there;  It’s hard to believe that I’m all alone.  At least I have her love - the city - she loves me.  Lonely as I am, together we cry.”  I’m Smokey Joe and I’m a male, salt & pepper Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about six years old and I weigh seventeen pounds.  I’m crate trained and house trained.  I pretty much keep to myself but on the rare occasion when I want to have some play time, I like tug of war and running through the garden hose.  That thing is so cool!  My only peculiar thing is that I hate the washer and dryer!  When that thing is running, I’m running for cover!  I would be best in a home where I’m the only four-legged friend.  I want your one-on-one attention and don’t care for other dogs (or children) “invading my space”!  I’m a bit of a singer….and if you start singing, I’m going to sing / howl right along with you!  It’s our special bond!  “I don’t ever wanna feel like I did that day;  Take me to the place I love, take me all the way!”  I don’t want to be “Under The Bridge”.  The place I love and the place I want to be is in your forever home!  So ask for me, Smokey Joe, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $350

“Hey baby I’m talking to you;  Stop yourself and listen!  Some things you can never choose;  Even if you try, yeah!  You’re bangin’ your head again;  Cause somebody won’t let you in!  One chance…one love!  Your chance to let me know!  We can’t go on just running away. Stand up and turn around;  Never let them shoot us down!  Never!”  I love the band Heart…..and I’m looking for a forever home with a big heart!!  I’m Cecil and I’m a white, male Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail.  I’m about ten years old and I weigh a fit and trim nineteen pounds!  I wasn’t well cared for previously but MSRH has helped me get in shape and I’m loving it!  I’m crate trained and go there willingly…..no incentive treat required.  Guess that’s good…..’cause mom says treats are still limited for a bit longer!  I’m also house trained and I know how to use a doggy door!  I’d prefer a home without children as I’m sensitive about being picked up (a little arthritis can sometimes make pickups painful).  I am on a couple different medications.  I get along with other dogs and enjoy playtime but I would do equally well by myself too!  Mom says I have a very sweet disposition and a great personality.  I’d like to bring that to your home!  If you have a soft spot for a nice guy like me, then pick up the phone.  Never say never!  Ask for me, Cecil, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $150

“Everything is beautiful, even when the tears are falling.  I don’t need a miracle to believe!  Even in the crashing down, I can hear redemption calling.  And everything is beautiful to me!  Sweetly, You release me from the weight of what I’ve done.  The trigger trips the hammer, but the bullets never come.  And love, it washes over;  Love, it pulls me closer.  Love, it changes everything!”  Your love would change everything for me!  I’m Macy and I’m a female Cairn Terrier (MSRH originally thought I might have a at least a little Schnauzer in me!) with natural ears and a natural tail.  I’m about nine years young and I weigh twenty-one pounds (I’ve been doing really well….I weighed thirty-five pounds when I came to MSRH….thank you Jenny Craig!).  I’m very sweet and very well behaved.  I am curious around other dogs and get along with them well.  I’m not at all possessive of my food or my toys.  I can share!  I’m pretty laid back.  In fact, on a Sunday afternoon I’ll be on the couch unless it’s time to eat or go out.  But once out, I run and play like a puppy!  Then back to the couch!  I also enjoy walks and am good on a leash.  I’m also a good car rider.  It’s fun at first.  Then the gentle hum lulls me to sleep on the back seat.  I’m a very good watch dog and will work to ensure that your yard is squirrel-free!  I’m crate trained (I even like the crate…..when you put a treat inside!) and I’m also house trained too!  Soon my foster mom is going to let it be my turn to sleep in the big human bed – I can’t wait!  I do not yet care for men.  I have a female foster home and it’s perfect.  I’d like that in a forever home too. I like adults best but kids over age ten are OK too.  I’ve known love since coming to MSRH but now I want the love that only comes when your part of someone’s forever home!  Love – it changes everything!  Do you have that kind of love?  Then ask for me, Macy, on your MSRH adoption application!  Adoption Fee:  $150
