MSRH Adoption Form

Adoption Application
After submitting this form to adopt a miniature schnauzer from MSRH, we will do our best to find a mini that matches your lifestyle and preferences so that you and your new best friend will live happily-ever-after! We are very proud of our success rate in matching adoptable minis to families.

We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving miniature schnauzers which have fallen on hard times, been surrendered to animal control or abandoned. Many of these schnauzers have physical problems which our partner veterinarians assist us in correcting. All of our adoptable minis have been given a wellness exam, spayed / neutered, given annual shots, tested for heartworms (and treated, if necessary), tested and treated for other parasites and micro-chipped.

We work with our foster dogs to get them ready to go to a new home. Our goal is to help get them healthy, happy and adjusted to a home environment.

Our adoption fees cover not only routine care, but also allows us to treat minis which require extraordinary care.

Thank you for your interest in Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston.
