Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston
The rescue with a heart as big as Texas
For Adoption
If you are interested in adopting one of our rescues, please fill out the Adoption Form and mention which dog(s) you are interested in and we will contact you as soon as possible.
All of these dogs have been completely vetted, which includes spay/neuter, yearly shots, heartworm test, and if heartworm positive, they have been treated to kill the worms. If their teeth need cleaning, we have done that also. We get them healthy and ready for their new forever home.
Adoption Guidelines Note: A dog that is 2 years of age and under must be adopted into a home where there is another young dog. Adopters 75+ must adopt a dog 5 years old or older. Please keep this in mind when submitting an application or asking your adoption counselor about a dog.

Maverick is fully house-trained, sleeps peacefully in his crate, and gets along beautifully with kids, dogs and cats.If you’re looking for a sweet, low-maintenance companion with endless affection and loyal devotion, Maverick is ready to bring his gentle charm into your heart and home.

Mort McNatt
Here comes Mort McNatt who is a 2 year old, male, black/silver, Miniature Schnauzer mix. He weighs about 15 lbs and has natural ears and tail. Mort is very well behaved and is not a barker. The only time he barks is when he’s happy and that’s maybe for a few seconds. He is potty trained and will only go outside. He has a set schedule at his foster home which is around 6/7 AM. He likes to poop on his afternoon walk. He is good with children that know how to act around a dog. He loves affection and likes to give affection. He’s very calm and will just lay by your side or feet. Mort does well on his leash and is learning his commands now as well. For a 2-year-old he’s not high energy. He does play well with other dogs and is protective of his person but once corrected and shown it’s ok he does fine. He also loves playing fetch and squeaky toys.
Adoption Fee $550
Kimchi
Kimchi is a 3-year-old salt-and-pepper Schnauzer and the ultimate velcro dog! He weighs 20 pounds and has natural ears and a docked tail. Kimchi is a loyal sidekick with one goal in life: to be wherever you are. Kimchi has settled in beautifully with his foster dog siblings and loves having canine friends to romp with. An active boy, he enjoys his daily walks, zooming around the yard, and playing with other dogs. Once he's gotten his exercise, he's content to settle nearby and keep you company. Because he bonds strongly with his people, he does not like to be left home for long periods. He would do best in a home with a flexible schedule where someone is around most of the day. If you're looking for a loyal companion, a walking buddy, a couch snuggler, and a best friend, Kimchi is your guy.

Max Ransom
Max Ransom is a 4-year-old black-and-silver Schnauzer. He weighs 15 pounds. He has natural ears and a docked tail. His favorite place is curled up in your arms, completely melted into a lap-lump. He loves his people and simply wants to love and be loved.
Max’s first four years left him living in survival mode, so he’s highly alert, vocal, and can become fixated when triggered. He’s still learning appropriate social skills with other dogs and can chase smaller animals.
He needs an experienced handler familiar with reactive dogs, a house with a yard and lots of structure. Ideally he would be in a home that has larger, confident dogs and no cats.

Gigi Cleo
Hi! I’m Gigi, a 5-year-old Miniature Schnauzer with a big personality packed into my 10-pound frame! I’m spayed, house-trained, crate-trained, and know my basic commands, especially when treats are involved! I love playing with my toys, snuggling beside my favorite person, and being your loyal little shadow. I’d thrive as your one and only dog since I prefer not to share my humans. I tend to bond most closely with women but will warm up to patient, kind men. I’m a typical talkative Schnauzer with plenty of opinions! If you’re looking for a playful, devoted companion who loves cuddles and one-on-one attention, I could be your perfect match.

With his adorable natural ears, docked tail, and gentle, friendly personality, Tank is an easy boy to fall in love with. He’s house-trained, loves people, and has that wonderful “just happy to be with you” kind of nature.

Livi Anders
Livi Anders is a 4-year-old, 13-pound salt-and-pepper bundle of playful energy. She has natural ears and a cropped tail. Livi is smart, loving and house-trained. She is friendly with people and other dogs, but she is very energetic and eager to play, which could be an issue with very young children. She will happily play by herself with toys, but she really wants a willing playmate to chase and play tug-of-war with. When she’s not busy playing, she is perfectly happy curled up in your lap and getting some attention.
She has the classic Schnauzer bark and likes to use it. She recently underwent bladder stone surgery and will likely need to remain on a prescription food.
Adoption Fee $450
Miles Robinson
Hi, I am Miles! I am a 13-pound silver-and-black Schnauzer with natural ears and a docked tail. I am 1.5 years old, and learning that life can be full of love! I enjoy other dogs, don’t mind cats (especially playful ones!), walk nicely on a leash, ride well in the car, and sleep quietly in my crate—though I’d love a cozy bed someday. I’ve just completed my potty training! Tiny humans make me a little nervous, so I’d do best with teens or adults. I love cuddles, giving kisses, and being close to my people. My foster family will miss me dearly and hopes my forever home is filled with patience, love, and lots of snuggles.
Adoption Fee $550
Gertie Jo
This is Gerti Jo. She is a silver Schnauzer who weighs 17 pounds. She has natural ears and a docked tail. She is 3-years-old. She loves slow walks, cozy naps, and pretending your lap belongs to her.

Lola Jean
Lola Jean is a 9-year-old salt-and-pepper Schnauzer who believes every day is made for fun! She has natural ears and natural tail and weighs 11 pounds. She loves playing with other dogs, learning new things (especially if kibble is involved!), and being close to her people. She’s come so far since joining rescue, and her sweet, resilient spirit shines through every day. To keep her feeling her best, she’ll need to stay on a prescription urinary diet and see her veterinarian every six months. She’d love a home with another playful pup, and while she’s still perfecting her table manners, we think she’s already pretty close to perfect.

After the fun is over, he’s happiest curled up beside his favorite people for snuggles.
Charlie is house trained but prefers a home where he doesn’t have to spend time in a crate or be left alone for long. He’s wonderful with older children, enjoys other dogs (though he likes to be the boss), and will thrive with an active family willing to provide love, exercise, companionship, and continued training.

Pepper Potts
This cutie is Pepper, a 3-year-old, 13-pound, female, dark grey and white Miniature Schnauzer with natural ears and tail. She is all puppy, with bouncy ears and a good amount of mischief. Pepper’s ideal home includes a play mate (a friend who will engage, not just tolerate and not be aggravated), a tidy home (the fewer opportunities to chew, the better). She needs patient parents and the ability to do rehab to strengthen her leg. We believe she was hit by a car. Pepper has had FHO (hip) surgery and she is working on regaining strength in that leg. Pepper wants to be in an active home, do not apply if you’re looking for a lazy lap dog. She is house trained and doggy door trained and walks well on leash.
*7/30 Update: Pepper has mast cell cancer and requires lymph node removal surgery and chemotherapy.
Adoption Fee $450
Katie Kylie
Katie Kylie is an 8-year-old chocolate Schnauzer mix. She weighs 3.5 pounds. She has natural ears and a docked tail. She is a tiny girl with a big personality who absolutely loves being held and close to her people. She would do best in a quiet adult home without children or frequent young visitors. Katie can be feisty when startled and may nip out of fear, but since she has no teeth, she cannot cause injury. Once she feels safe and secure, this behavior decreases significantly. She is crate trained, relatively quiet, and gets along well with other dogs. Leash walking is still a work in progress, as new sights and sounds can be intimidating. Katie thrives with patience, consistency, and plenty of cuddles

Double the love, double the cuddles! Princess and QT (“Cutie”) are an adorable bonded pair looking for a forever home together. Princess (7½ lbs) is the confident big sister, while sweet little QT (7 lbs) takes a minute to warm up to new people before becoming your devoted shadow.
These two are happiest together - and happiest with you! They follow their people everywhere, sleep cuddled up in the same bed, and come running with the cutest little pitter-patter when you pat your leg. They’re calm, affectionate, food-motivated, great on walks, wonderful car riders, and love spending time outside (just keep an eye on them, they’re enthusiastic diggers!). They aren’t interested in toys because they’re far too busy loving their people. If you’re looking for two tiny companions with huge hearts, Princess and QT are ready to steal yours. *No small children

Ricardo Pepi
This sweet black and silver Miniature Schnauzer named Ricardo Pepi is 18 months old, weighs about 16 pounds, and is ready to find the patient, loving family he’s been waiting for. He’s an active, playful boy who loves walks, dog toys, and spending time with his people. He would thrive in an active home and would especially love having another playful dog to romp around with. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, isn’t bothered by cats, and does great with children.
Like many rescue dogs, he’s still building confidence. He forms a strong bond with his person but can be cautious around men and unfamiliar visitors in the home. With patience, consistency, and positive experiences, he’s becoming more confident every day and continues to come out of his shell. He’s also working on his house training and currently wears belly bands indoors while he learns. The good news is that he’s excellent in his crate, sleeping soundly through the night and relaxing comfortably while his family is away.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion and are willing to give this deserving young boy the time and understanding he needs, you’ll be rewarded with a devoted best friend who is sure to blossom in the right home.

Rex is already house-trained, gets along well with other dogs, and absolutely loves settling in with a good chewy toy. He’s playful, friendly, affectionate, and still young enough to grow right alongside his forever family. Rex is ready for adventures, playtime, snuggles — and a person to call his own.

Duchess Alexandra
Duchess is a sweet, affectionate girl with a lovable diva streak who’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion. She’s smart, already knows basic commands and is fully housebroken once she settles into her surroundings. She enjoys playing with other dogs, but can get a bit overstimulated when excitement is high, and she may be cautious at first in new environments or around “mysterious” items like rustling clothes or big trash bags. Duchess is a total champ at the vet, has done well on car rides, and is working on her leash manners with regular walks.
Duchess is looking for a patient, loving home that appreciates a vocal, funny, cuddly dog and will give her time to adjust. Once she feels safe and loved, she’ll reward you with loyalty, laughter, and endless tail wags
