Sikey was surrendered after her dad entered a care facility and the remaining family was not interested in keeping her. As soon as her foster mom got her in the car, it was apparent that Sikey had significant bladder issues and was promptly taken to the vet where a stone the size of her bladder was quickly removed. She has recovered and is now house-trained

Sikey is the definition of a Velcro dog. She loves affection, pets, and cuddles from anyone including strangers. She likes to play with her foster sister, stuffed toys, and play tug-of-war. She enjoys running in the yard.

She is vocal if she’s happy, frustrated, or on alert. She does seem to have a bit of trouble reading social cues from other dogs. She’s consistently a good eater and loves her special prescription treats. Sikey is quite smart and learned how to shake just from watching her foster siblings!

If you think you would be the perfect fit for Silkey please fill out the application below.

Hi! My name is Cole and I am a 10 year old, 19lb. miniature schnauzer. I came to SRC through an owner surrender. I was kept in a wired crate for the past 5 years of my life and I was infested with fleas and had a terrible ear infection upon arrival. Thankfully, I was able to see a doctor right away and my immediate issues were cleared up within a week!

My foster mom says that I have the sweetest, most playful demeanor. I LOVE my toys and my favorite time of the day is in the evenings when my foster family throws the toy for me. I love to retrieve and bring it back as many times as I’m able. Who says 10 year olds don’t have energy and love to play?! I can also balance my playfulness with casual snuggling, which I like to do as well. I’m a typical miniature schnauzer in that I love being with my people at all times.

I have a lower back issue which makes me look derpy when I run around but my back doesn’t seem to bother me for the time being. It should be noted that I need to go to a home that either does not have children or has older children who understand that I should not be picked up unless necessary. And when I am picked up, it is done in a way that will be delicate with my back. Currently, I do not try to get on the couch with my foster family and I’m okay with laying in a nice, warm bed at their feet.

Since I spent so much time in a crate, my back legs aren’t as strong as they should be. I am unable to do large sets of stairs, but have gotten better about doing the 3-4 steps to get on and off my back deck to go potty. I would prefer to go to a home that doesn’t have a lot of steps for this reason. When my original bio was posted in the recent past, I was not fully housebroken but GUESS WHAT – now I am!! My foster mom is super proud of me and told me that I am a smart boy who learns quickly.

I enjoy going on walks but I don’t have a ton of energy and therefore, don’t need long walks. I do well on a leash. I am very good about pottying as soon as I am taken outside. What I love most is playing with toys. I don’t require a fenced yard so long as there is enough space inside to play with my toys so I can get exercise that way. Because of my weak back legs, carpet or rugs have been helpful in my play space to keep me from sliding on the hardwood floors.

I’m a great eater and breakfast and dinner are my second favorite parts of the day outside of play time. I eat small kibble. My teeth were cleaned when I came to SRC so I won’t need another dental for a long time.

Because I spent so much time in a crate, I don’t love the crate right away but I do understand that I still need to be in the crate when my foster family is away from home. I go in the crate easily, especially with a treat! At night my foster mom told me I don’t have to be in the crate, so she blocked off a small space next to the bed where I have my own bed. I like this set-up and sleep well through the night.

I’m up-to-date on my vaccines. I was recently neutered, and now I am ready to find my forever family that I can snuggle and play with! Please consider adopting me. I’m being fostered in Cincinnati.

Meet Roameo!
This handsome Schnauzer/Poodle Mix is ready to find his furever family.

Roameo finds SRC after being rescued from the streets as a stray. Posted on several social media sites, he waited for his family during his stray hold, but no one ever came. Lucky for him the right women were watching and helped him to safety and later in to rescue. With how full rescues are, what a lucky break for this kid to get!

Now fully vetted, this 1 & 1/2 year old boy is ready to find a furever family. He is crate trained, house broken, and loves everyone he meets. Roameo is a very active boy so he would do best in an active home, with a fenced yard. Tall fence would be great as his jump is out of this world!

If you think this guy would be a great addition to your family, please fill out the application below.

Huge thank you to Karen and Tonia for helping him find his way to rescue! Roameo is being fostered in Indianapolis, IN.

Meet 6 year old Ralphie! Several weeks ago, Ralphie had a pending adoption that did not work out. He is still searching for his furever fit!

This handsome boy is a very loved owner surrender. It was an emotional surrender and the family has kept in touch, but they know it’s in his best interest he find a home with less stimulation. Ralphie does have anxiety with new situations or new people. He needs a family patient and willing to help him work through it.
Ralphie’s initial meet and bark can be a bit intimidating. If you can get past the shrill barking, you have a love bug on your hands! He is the absolute sweetest boy!

Ralphie was also an only dog. We now know he LOVES other pups to play with. He has become very smitten with another foster Lucy. He will play with everyone, but he plays and grooms her!

Ralphie is utd on all vaccines, neutered, chipped and now looking for his furever home. He walks well on a leash (he will pull) but will at times have an accident if you’re not paying attention to his queues of needing to go out. He would do best in a fenced yard environment.

He loves his toys, hanging out on the couch, and sleeping with his person! He also loves window watching. We consider him our neighborhood watch!

We are looking for a family to fit all HIS needs. If we weren’t a foster family with many of our own pups as well as fosters,  Ralphie would be staying with us.

If you think Ralphie sounds like the perfect fit for your family please submit your application, Ralphie and I will take a look.
He is fostered in Miamisburg, Ohio.

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.

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!

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.
If you think you are the perfect family for Jingles, please fill out an application.

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 had her follow up visit yesterday with the Animal Eye Institute, and her check up was PERFECT!

Lottie is down to 2 eye drops twice a day for the next two months. Her vision is fantastic. If all goes well, we’ll be moving to one eyedrop once a day for the remainder of her life. She is looking for her furever home!

Lottie 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.

How is this little girl still available??
Maple is estimated to be about 3-years-old and is a Cavapoo. This little girl is such a sweet, smart, lovable pup who just wants to be around you taking it all in and learning as much as she can.

Maple is a puppy mill survivor who is up to date on shots, spayed, and microchipped. She is crate trained. She has come along way from when she first arrived at her foster home. Since being at her foster home, she has learned to sit before she eats and receives treats. She has also learned she loves a good dog bed and is now able to hold going potty overnight as long as she is let out right before bed time. She is good during the day as long as she can be let out a few times during the day.

She is on a special food but you don’t need a prescription for it. When she first arrived, it was evident she was eating anything and everything she could get too. Her belly was very upset. It took us 4 months to figure it out with lots of trips to the vet and multiple special diets and meds. The food she is on is Royal Canin Digestive Care and we get it from PetSmart for $59.99 for a 17 lb. bag. This is what we use for treats as well.

Maple loves running around outside with her foster brothers and sisters and is loves all dog toys. She does love a good chew toy too. She is still a bit skittish around people and loud noises so a fenced yard is an absolute must. Maple loves being around other pups so a forever home with at least one other pup is needed. She is great with cats. Doesn’t even give them a piece of mind. She will need someone who will be patient and continue to work with her and reassure her everything is ok and its ok to be a pup.

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

Hi everyone, I’m Oscar. I’m almost three years old. I’m a very sweet boy, I love to try to get the old men in my foster home to play with me, but they’re not very interested.

I’d love to have a playmate and my foster mom says I must have a fenced in yard so I can run and work off some of my energy. I love to cuddle with my foster mom and give kisses to all. I really like people and am a good boy – most of the time. I get really scared at the vet and groomer; I don’t try to bite or anything, but my doctor says I flail (whatever that means), so I have to take some drugs to calm me down a bit, and I get groomed at the vet. I’d love to find my forever home soon!

From mom:  Oscar is quite the character. He’s house and crate trained, neutered, chipped and is current on his vaccines and heartworm meds. Oscar must have a fenced yard, he walks and potties fine on a leash, but he really needs to let off some energy (or he will let it off in the house!). Oscar came from a bad situation, and gets scared at the vet and groomer. I have groomed him a couple times (clean ups), but for a full groom, he is sedated at the vet. I have tried the mobile groomer (he does get carsick), but the clippers and scissors freak him out, and the groomers (we’ve tried a couple), are worried he’ll injure himself trying to get away.

He has been boarded several times and does very well. He loves people and is very friendly and social with other dogs (he drives the old men here crazy). No idea with cats (he might give chase) but I don’t think he’d know what to do if he caught one. He loves to look at the deer that come in the yard. I think he’d be great with older kids (10+), I’d be worried he might knock smaller kids over though. He’s very athletic and can jump and climb, so any fence needs to be an appropriate height.

He loves his food and especially his cookies. He doesn’t really have any interest in toys, I’m not sure he understands what they are. I think Oscar would do best with a doggie buddy who can show him the ropes. He’s good inside (unless energy!) and doesn’t chew or get into things he shouldn’t.

Oscar’s adoption fee is only $350. He is fostered in Michigan, so is enjoying the snow. Oscar needs someone to work with him and have patience while he’s settling in and getting used to a new home. I also think training would be helpful (he loves to be busy, so redirecting him would be a great thing). Oscar just needs love and the ability to sleep on the couch.

If you think you’d be a great fit please fill out the application to start the process.

Meet Bentley, 14-lb all-white miniature schnauzer who is currently being fostered in the Columbus, Ohio area.

Bentley came from a home where his human could no longer take care of him due to health issues. He has vet records from birth through his most recent visit in January. He will be 14 years old in April, but it’s hard to tell sometimes since he is a fan of running around the house and yard! He came to us a little underweight, but his healthy appetite has him being active and learning new things every day. In less than 2 weeks he learned how to jingle the bells on the backdoor to go outside since does need to be let out frequently. So, a family with someone who is home regularly would be best.

Bentley loves spending time in the yard even when it’s cold and snowy, does well in the car, and on a leash. But because of Bentley’s age (and the soreness that comes with it!), he is not a fan of being picked up, and prefers to sleep in a dog bed rather than a human bed. He has no issues jumping onto the couch, but the bed is a little too high. Bentley’s teeth are in good condition and he didn’t need a dental when he came to us. He does have some hearing and vision loss but responds to bells/dings and louder speaking.

Bentley would be best in an adult-only household, as he has his particularities with being picked up (harnesses are the best way for him) and is easily frightened since his hearing isn’t what it used to be. He is fine with other dogs, and untested with cats; but I assume he would do just fine with them. Bentley doesn’t use a crate and roams free when we are away from home.

If you think you could be his human(s), we would love to hear from you! A home visit and vet reference check will be required. Bentley is neutered up-to-date on all vaccinations and exams and does not have any known history of illness or medical needs.

My name is Zach and I am a 4-year old Standard Poodle weighing 20 lbs. I was found by the dog warden as a stray. I was so lucky that Schnauzer Rescue Cincinnati took me under their wing so now I am looking for my forever home.

My foster family have five other dogs that I get along great with except they are all seniors. I am young and love to run and play and they don’t understand that.

I am current on all vaccines, neutered, had a dental and a microchip. I have already learned the doggie doors and hope my new home will have one too as well as a physical fenced yard. I can jump, so the fence must be four feet or a privacy fence. When in the house, I am a cuddle bug with my person. I know steps and basic commands. Some dogs may like crates; but I don’t.

Fill out an application if you think I just might be your next family member and we can talk more. Thank you!

My name is Jax and I am a 4-year old male Schnauzer who weighs 20 lbs. I was adopted as a puppy and have only had one owner. Recently, the health of my owner has declined and she had no choice but to surrender me to rescue.

Since then I have been placed in a foster home with five other rescue boys and girls. I have had a physical, had my teeth checked and made current on all vaccines.

I also am neutered and have a microchip. I absolutely love using the dog doors and hope to have one in my forever home. I get along great with all the other dogs but sometimes love just hanging out with my foster mom no matter what she is doing. I am quiet, rarely bark and know my house manners.

My favorite thing to do is fetch... especially balls. You throw... I go! Plus, I return them too! Besides a dog door, my foster mom wants me to have a physical fenced yard as I came from the city so really appreciate how much fun the yard is as I love to run! In my dreams, I am a Greyhound!

If you want to find out more about me, please complete an application and we will be in touch. Thank you for reading my story!
