Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston
The rescue with a heart as big as Texas
Who We Are
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 Pet(s)
"Blitzen"
&
"Gracie Sue"
If you are at home and need some companions, these two cuties are just what you might be looking for. If you have a cozy spot for them to lay by you, they will do just that.
Gracie gets extremely excited when her foster comes home from work and is always excited for mealtime. She is really good with children and other dogs. She is not a loud barker and seldom barks at all. She likes to go for walks. She is a little slower but can still walk for over 30 minutes which is doing good for her age.
Blitzen is an old man but a sweetheart. He likes to lay with his sister in their big dog bed. He is a little slower and has a hard time getting around, so he really does his business outside and then is back in his bed.
Neither of these pups jump on the furniture and are just nice to be around.
If you are interested in any of our Schnauzers that are ready for adoption, please complete an Adoption Application, and an Adoption Counselor will be in touch with 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.
Please consider donating to help MSRH defray medical and monthly operating costs. Click on this link to donate. Under Payment Purpose, select Veterinary, Boarding or Unrestricted Donation. Thank you in advance for supporting MSRH. All monies donated benefit rescues in need. With your help we are finding forever homes for more rescues.
