Star 2024-11-44 and Haley 2024-11-45 – Bolded Pair – Schnauzer • Senior and Adult • Females • Small

StarHaleyHaley and StarStar and Haley
Haley and Star are looking for their furever home!

Meet Haley and Star, a bonded pair of miniature schnauzers. Star (white) is 11 years old and Haley (black) is 8 years old! They have been together since Haley was a puppy and are very close.

They are good girls just looking for a quiet, laid back household to spend their days. Haley is sweet, has a little spunk and is very eager to please. Star is a little more reserved but she does her very best to “talk” to you and all you have to do is look at her to earn a very excited tail wag.

They love to look out the window or door and watch the world go by or roam the backyard sniffing their way along every inch, so a fence is preferred. More than anything they just want to be close to and love their person. You will never find two dogs more excited to see you when you come home than these two. They’re so happy they turn in circles!

They are happy following you around the house and being outside but what they love the most is snuggling up next to you. They are definitely couch queens and bed buddies. They will also be your best friends.

Alice 2024-08-34 – Schnauzers • Adult • Female • Small

AliceAliceAlice
Meet Alice, an approximately 5-year-old, 15-lbs. miniature schnauzer with a grey salt-and-pepper coat, docked tail, and altered ears. Alice has been spayed and is up-to-date on all vaccinations and exams and does not have any known history of illness or medical needs. Alice is being fostered in the Columbus, Ohio area.

Alice came to us from a puppy mill where she was a breeding dog. It is apparent that she has had a few litters, but she is in great physical health. She was spayed in July and had a hernia repaired, but didn’t even need a dental at her first vet visit ever!

She is microchipped and housebroken, and has been getting used to the cozy life as a house pet. When she initially came to us, she was very timid and shy, and frightened by most things since everything was new, big, and scary! But in the last 2 months, Alice has gone from hiding in the smallest, most uncomfortable of places in the house and yard to snoozing on the couch and bed, and playing with our dog Rocky. She loves running around the yard playing with toys and has also made friends with the neighbors and their pets too. She has learned quite a bit in the last couple months and has proven herself a quick learner!

She has also become fond of walking on a leash – it only took one try and she got used to the new concept, and gets very excited for our neighborhood walks now. She loves squeaky toys and bones, grabbing them from the basket herself and proudly carrying them around!

Alice can be fearful of new people given her history, but has never shown any aggression. It doesn’t take long for her to warm-up, but she still separates herself when strangers come into her space. Her “safe spot” is in my office by the desk where she can see down the hallway into the kitchen, but has the security of a separate area. She has come a long way but would do best with new parent(s) that will continue to work with her on trust and socialization. She would also do best in a house with other dogs to play with and encourage her. We have not used a crate with her, rather started her in a designated area and slowly expanded that area when away from home.

She would likely do best in a home with adults and older children only, and parent(s) who aren’t gone for long stretches at a time. A fenced in yard would also be required, as mill pups are an inherent flight risk. Plus, running around the yard is her favorite activity, with watching out the living room window a close second! She is a quiet girl until she sees a dog walking by, when she starts wagging and barking. She also sounds off when one of us comes home out of excitement. Alice is a great sleeper, having joined our dog in our bedroom in the first week.

If you think you could be her human(s), we would love to hear from you! A home visit and vet reference check will be required. This special girl has been a pleasure to have in our home, and it is clear that she just wants to be part of a loving family.

Teddy 2023-08-33 – Mixed Breed • Young • Male • Small

TeddyTeddyTeddyTeddy
I am an amazing little boy looking for my special forever home. My name is Teddy, and they say I am about 1 years old.

I was brought into rescue because I was on a busy street and a good person saw me and scooped me up so I didn’t get hurt. I had no idea where I was, and I was so scared.

When I arrived at my foster home, they took me to the doctors to get a check up and found out I am a special boy. They had taken me to a specialist to ensure I would be ok. It was found that I have something called a neurological disorder. The doctor said I was probably born this way, but I don’t know any different. I just know that I love everyone! Because of this issue I can not see very well but I am a very smart boy and learn my surroundings. I have even learned to go up the stairs (outside on their deck) during the day at my fosters house. Nighttime I have a harder time, so my foster mom helps me. I haven’t mastered going down because I get quite scared I will fall. I am good boy and go potty outside as long as you keep me on schedule I can follow.

I do wish to have a friend to play with. I love to play with my foster sisters and brothers. I would prefer a smaller friend to play with as big friends scare me. Don’t let my age fool you though. I love to snuggle with my foster mom and dad. Whenever they are sitting and relaxing, I prefer to be doing that with them.

Do you have a special place for me to continue to learn? If so, please fill out an application and my foster mom will be in contact with you.

Bella 2022-10-28 – Pittie Mix • Adult • Female • Medium

BellaBellaBella
Meet Bella!
She is an extra sweet 8 year old Pittie Mix. This girl was being rehomed with another dog in our foster. The previous rescue backed out and the morning she was to enter. There was no way we were leaving this sweet girl with nowhere to go. This is the sweetest girl. She will be greatly missed.


Bella is up-to-date on all her vaccines, neutered, heartworm negative, and on prevention.

Bella loves her foster brothers and sisters. She loves laying out on the patio on squirrel patrol. She enjoys toys and treats.

Bella thinks she is a lap dog. She loves to snuggle and be around her humans. She will lay on the couch or in her big plushy dog bed near you. She is a very loyal companion. Bella is medium to low energy. She is a quiet girl, and rarely barks. She loves to go on car rides.

She is housebroken. She doesn’t like a crate, thankfully she doesn’t need one. She loves her big plush cushy bed in the family room.

This super sweet girl will definitely be missed. She loves everyone who visits and is kind to all the dogs. She is deserving of finding a home with people who will always love and care for her.

If you think this sweet girl is for you, please fill out an application. She is being fostered in Beavercreek, Ohio.

Sinbad 2023-03-13 – Schnauzer • Senior • Male • Small

SinbadSinbadSinbadSinbad
Hi, my name is Sinbad.

I’m a very sweet boy who is in rescue with my brother Jaxon. Although my foster mom doesn’t think it is absolutely necessary, it would be nice if we could be adopted together. Both of my owners passed away recently, so I’m looking for a new family to love.

I’m 13 years old and really healthy for my age. I weigh 21 lbs. (so am kind of a bruiser), have had all those pokey things called shots, I just had my teeth cleaned (I have 8 teeth left!!), am neutered and microchipped, and I do great at the vets and the groomer. Everyone talked about what a good boy I am.

I’m crate trained (but don’t really like my crate if I don’t have to be in it), like to talk to you (a lot), and am good with the other kids in my foster home. I absolutely LOVE to run, so if I could have a fenced in yard, that would make me so very happy. I don’t know about cats or other critters, but my foster mom thinks I’d probably chase them. I’m pretty quick for an old guy.

She makes me stay on a leash when I’m outside, since I’d make a break for it otherwise. My leash manners are a little iffy, but I’m working on them. I love to be with you and would be your best snuggle bunny if I came to live with you!

I’m being fostered in Michigan and can’t wait to meet you!

Puddles 2024-01-02 – Schnauzer Mix • Young • Female • Small

PuddlesPuddlesPuddlesPuddles
Meet Puddles!
A happy, energetic, one year old Parti Schnauzer mix, with maybe a splash of Maltese.


Puddles was surrendered by her rescuer who found her alone on the streets. Not being able to find her original owner, she reached out to SRC for help. Now fully vetted she is ready to find a family with no children, to do life with.

Her absolute favorites are cuddles, couch hangs were she can get a lot of pets, and playing. Puddles loves her toys and loves playing fetch. She also loves Laying in her yard and running as fast as she can around it, so for this reason her foster mom says a fenced yard is what she would enjoy most.

Puddles is a girl who knows what she wants. She loves her things and her person all to herself, so would do best being the only dog. This cute girl coexists well with other dogs, but has taught the others, her things are hers! She would do best in a home with no other dogs, and no children or children visiting.

This cutie is the total package! Utd on vaccines, spayed, housebroken, chipped, & crate trained. If she sounds like the perfect fit for your family grab that application and get approved to meet her.

Henry 2024-03-07 and Helen 2024-03-08 – Bolded Pair-Schnauzer/Terrier Mix and Schnauzer • Adult • Male/Female • Small

Helen and HenryHelenHenryHelenHenry
Meet the dynamic duo of Henry and Helen! These sweet pups are puppy mill survivors. They were found alone in an abandoned house, and we’d like them to stay together.

Henry is approx. 7-8 years old, 12 lbs. schnauzer/terrier mix (maybe some Beagle?). He LOVES his person and constantly will follow you around the house. His favorite activities include snuggling, napping, and hanging outside. He is house trained, does OK on a leash, and rarely makes a noise. You may hear him whine a little bit if he doesn’t know where you are. While out of the house, he is either left out or in the office with the door closed. He is trusted and doesn’t use a crate. He can do stairs and jump off/on the bed and couch.

Helen is approx. 9-10 years old, about 10 lbs. and a schnauzer mix (with the fluffiest tail and floppy ears). This lady is an angel. She is mostly blind and partially deaf but gets around well. This does not stop her so don’t let it stop you! Helen loves lounging in the sun, napping, and generally being the sweetest pup in the land. This gal is low maintenance and does not bark at all. She isn’t leashed train so a fenced in yard is required. She does need picked up to put on bed and couch. You just kind of pick her up, put her where you want her, and she’s good to go. She is house trained and like Henry is either left out or put in the office while her foster parents are out.

Both dogs do well in the car, at the groomer, and at the vet. They do have sensitive tummies and take a probiotic but are healthy. Both Henry and Helen eat casually when they are hungry but do like treats. Both spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, and on flea/heartworm preventative. They have been around children as young as 2, not tested with cats, and get along with other dogs. If you are looking for quiet, chill dogs that are full of love and sweetness then this is the pair for you!

JinglesJinglesJingles
Meet 8 year old Jingles, Your Sweet New Companion!!

Jingles is a loving and gentle soul seeking a special home that can accommodate his needs as a diabetic pup.

Diagnosed just this year, Jingles hadn’t been fed a proper diet and his weight became out of control. Now with no table food, prescription food, insulin injections twice daily he is doing phenomenal. His care is all about routine. He takes his daily injections like a champ and he’s down 10 lbs. since entering rescue.

Jingles loves to run and play with is foster brothers and sisters so a home with back yard is a must as well as another pup. He will walk on a leash, but does require some training as he does pull. He is completely house broken, and crate trained. Even though this sweet boy is crate trained he does love to sleep in the bedroom with you on a doggie bed at night. He is up to date on all vaccines, prevention, chipped, a dental, and neutered.

Lottie 2024-06-25 – Schnauzer • Senior • Female • Small

LottieLottieLottieLottie
Meet Lottie!

This beautiful 10 year old retired mill mom has finally hit the good life, and is now ready to find her furever home. Lottie entered rescue very shut down and fearful of everything. It is evident that the hands that held and fed her before, were not the friendliest. They also never helped her with the most basic vet care.

Lottie now only seeing shadows because of cataracts, spent her younger days staring out of a cage watching her pups be taken from her litter by litter. When she was no longer able to meet the breeders need, she was loaded up and dumped at a shelter.

Lucky for this girl, SRC saw her and fell in love!

Fast forward 2 months and ohhh what a character we have. Now fully vetted and with a much needed spay, hernia repair, & dental completed, she is loving life. Her favorite time of the day, meal time!

Lottie has done absolutely fabulous with her housebreaking. Lottie doesn’t understand how to tell you she needs to go out, but as long as she’s out every 5 hours or so, she will be without issues.

She loves couch time, cushy blankets, treats, and her person. She tends to stay very close... like on top of your feet. You have to be mindful of her. She would not be good for a person with a fall history.

Lottie is crate trained but doesn’t require a crate as long as steps are blocked off. She would do best in a home with another dog.

Lottie deserves the world and we’re going to see to it she gets it! If you think this perfect little girl would make a great addition to your family. Please fill out the application below. Fostered in Miamisburg, Ohio.

Maple 2024-08-35 – Cavapoo • Young • Female • Small

MapleMapleMaple
Meet Maple, an 18-pound female Cavapoo mill survivor who recently found sanctuary with SRC.

Maple is estimated to be 2-3 years old and is up to date on shots, spayed, and microchipped. Her shyness and cautious nature will require a gentle touch and a patient heart. Initially fearful around new humans, Maple needs time to get to know the people in her life, but her true, loving nature shines through once she feels safe.

Maple finds great comfort in the company of other dogs. Having a furry companion in her future home will be essential for her well-being and happiness. With time and patience, Maple will warm up and reveal her amazing sweet personality.

This sweet girl needs an understanding adopter who will give her the space and time to grow into a brave dog she is meant to be. She absolutely requires a fence and a home with older children.

If you are interested in Maple, please fill out an application.
Maple is being fostered in Brookville, OH.

Toby 2024-09-38 – Schnauzer • Senior • Male • Small

TobyTobyToby
My name is Toby and I’m a little 15 pounds Parti-Schnauzer with a lot of love to give to my special human(s). I am 11 years old, but when I get the zoomies and grab my fluffy stuffed animal and wrestle, you’ll think I’m much younger!

Most of my life I have been with other dogs and just recently, a cat and a guinea pig. My human mommy recently passed, and my human daddy moved to another state. There were 3 dogs in our home, but he could only take one of us. Therefore, I’m waiting for my new family to come along. My other brother has already found a home.

I walk well on a leash, but I really like to stop and investigate my surroundings. New sights and sounds are curious to me. I may bark a little upon seeing another dog or person, but I settle soon. I haven’t been around children very much. I get nervous easily, but I am never aggressive. I’m not used to being around a lot of people or activities so a smaller household may be best for me.

I started out having some accidents in my foster home. After I learned where the “potty door” was and how to get the attention of my foster parents, I have not had any issues since. I’m a good boy and just want to be with my humans. In fact, the song “Me and My Shadow” is very appropriate for me.

I love food and the vet suggested I lose some weight. Taking walks and watching how much and what I eat helped me to get close to my preferred size. No more mid-night snacks!

Let me warn you, I snore; just a little. I also talk. It reminds my foster mother of a little piglet. She says I have the wrong name. I have conversations with her sometimes.

I usually need to be let out to potty around every 4 hours. Having someone working from home or retired would be a perfect match. When I am left home alone, I will cry or bark. I have separation anxiety. That should improve once I have a solid place to call home and know they will return. I can be trusted not to tear anything up when my family is away from home.

I am updated on all my shots and flea/heart meds. I’m neutered and have had my teeth cleaned. I’m also crate trained. But I prefer to be right by your side, both morning and night. I sleep in a dog bed on the floor next to my foster parents’ bed. I really just want to be in bed next to them. I’m a cuddler!

Rex 2024-10-41 – Schnauzer • Young • Male • Small

RexRexRex
Meet Rex!
Rex is a handsome 2 year old Schnauzer surrendered by his family when they could no longer care for him. Now fully vetted and housebroken, he is looking for his perfect fit.


Rex is a sweet guy who loves toys, and play and his foster family. He is playful and loves all toys. He can get a little too assertive playing tug of war if the other dog won’t let him win. He loves to be with his people and loves to lay on our laps.

When he is ready for bed he will curl up on the couch until we put him in his crate for the night. He loves to go on walks and does well on leash or harness. He is still reactive to others who come up to us on walks or visitors.

He will need a patient owner willing to continue to work with him on his manners. He currently does not have a fenced yard, but sure would love to have one.

If you think Rex would make a great addition to your family, please fill out the application below. He is being fostered in Springfield, Ohio.
