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. Our dogs reside in loving foster homes, until they find their perfect forever home. 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 Rescue
Minnie
This cute little senior gal is Minnie. And, that name really fits her, as she is a tiny lady.
Minnie is 12 years old and only weighs about 11 pounds, is salt and pepper in color with natural ears and a docked tail.
Where she came from she did not have a lot of time with humans, but she loves other dogs. After she gets to know you, she will love being held, and she loves laying in her very own bed at her foster home.
If you are interested, please fill out an Adoption Application asking for Minnie and an Adoption Counselor can arrange a meeting.
Adoptable Dogs
Please visit our For Adoption page for detailed descriptions for each dog and to view all of our dogs available for adoption. Please note: Effective January 1, 2020, MSRH is required to charge 8.25% sales tax on all adoption fees and merchandise sales.
A Rescue with a Heart
Each month MSRH takes in approx. 25 dogs in need of forever homes. They come to us as owner surrenders, strays or directly from the 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, our rescues are 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.
MSRH maintains ~45+ in rescue each month. These are dogs in foster homes, undergoing treatment in veterinary clinics and boarded at our partner kennels.
