Who We Are
Save A Schnauzer
Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston, Inc. (MSRH), is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization sponsored entirely by donations. We are dedicated to the never-ending, sometimes overwhelming, task of saving the lives of abused, abandoned, and/or unwanted Miniature Schnauzers who have lost their homes through no fault of their own.
We do not operate a shelter. Most of our dogs reside in loving foster homes, until they find their perfect forever home. Others spend time in a veterinary clinic for treatment, if needed, and a few may be kept in boarding where they can get training due to social issues. Many of our dogs come to us healthy. Others are sick or injured. They may come to us from shelters, from the streets, from puppy mills or from owners who cannot, or will not, care for them any longer. In almost all cases, at least in their recent past, they have not felt the security of a loving home.
Our goal is to ensure these fine dogs get healthy, never again face life in a dangerous situation, and instead live in a safe, loving, and secure home for the rest of their lives. Since February 2000, we have orchestrated over 3,000 adoptions.

Featured Pets
" Prestley Davis"
"Ambrosius"
These two little Miniature Schnauzers are very special. They are alike as they both have had seizures due to Epilepsy. MSRH could not feature one without the other. Both are perfect and they just need homes that will let them show their humans just how special they can be!
Prestley’s foster states that he has the sweetest demeanor yet. He loves to cuddle and get belly rubs. He loves children, even youngsters that are as young as 2 or 3 years old. He also loves riding in the car and running around in the backyard, hopping around like a little white bunny! He is not much of a barker, even when the doorbell rings, or someone new comes to visit. Not to mention, he doesn't mind sleeping in his crate. Of course, snuggling in bed with his human is even better.
Why hasn't this adorable 11 mo. old, white Miniature Schnauzer been snapped up you ask? Well, little Prestley had seizures when he first came into MSRH. He was diagnosed with Epilepsy and is on meds which cost about $40 monthly. With the medicine he has not had another seizure and is living life like a pro!
Ambrosius is a chill 3-year-old young guy as long as he is in a calm, non-chaotic home environment. He loves exploring in the backyard. He also loves following his foster around and is the perfect fit for your lap. He doesn’t play much with toys and just likes being around his human. He would be great in a home with another dog if the other dog is a little older (no high energy pups for him).
He does love his food, so if you do have another dog, they would need to be separated at feeding time. Ambrosius does crave attention, so he would be perfect for a retired owner or someone who works from home. He does great when he is left for 3-4 hours, but really needs someone home, so he doesn’t become anxious. He also loves finding the right spot to do his business outside, so a big backyard would be his dream come true!
Ambrosius is also on meds for seizures and has not had one since taking the medication. He simply has a great personality, and his playfulness is finally coming out. He previously experienced some anxiety when left alone and is now off those meds and is simply ready for a family to call his own. If you want to add a precious white Schnauzer to your family and let him give you all the love you can handle, Ambrosius may be just the right one for you.
Adoptable Dogs
ADOPTION COUNSELORS NEEDED
Would you enjoy working with our rescues and potential adopters? This volunteer will be speaking with potential adopters and learning what type of Schnauzer they are looking to adopt. This person will also be making phone calls to veterinarians for references and if needed, schedule a Home Visit to a potential adopter that has not previously had dogs. You can also help determine what type of dog will fit their lifestyle best and set up a meeting with the dog and the potential adopter. If you have the time and like meeting new people, we would love to have you join us.
If you are interested, please email Sandra@msrh.org or call (281) 336-1163 and leave a message.
A Rescue with a Heart
Each month MSRH takes in approx. 25 -30 dogs in need of forever homes. They come to us as owner surrenders, strays or directly from various animal shelters. Each rescue is then evaluated and fully vetted. Many are in need of medical support. MSRH treats many dogs each month for heartworms. Treatment is costly, but life saving. We have no shelter. We rely on loving foster homes to provide a nurturing environment until each rescue finds their new family. When we cannot find a foster home, or a new rescue needs some extra training, our rescues may be boarded. Boarding is costly, so we are always in need of foster families. If you are willing to open your home to one of our rescues, please fill out our Foster Application.
