Shulman said Schart was driving with a male friend who was supposed to help her on the sometimes dangerous Mexican highways, where people have been stopped by men who demand money.
"He was supposed to be a safety net for her, so she would be safe getting to the border."
Mexican media say the male friend was also shot and sent to hospital for treatment.
"She absolutely loved animals and she would not leave without them, so she decided to buy a vehicle there and drive home with them," said longtime friend Raquel Shulman, adding Schart was going home to look after her ailing mother.
One of the dogs she was taking home, a boxer named Ruby, as well as a cat were picked up by Mexican animal protection officials after the killing.
The three other dogs have not been found but people in Mexico are trying to locate them, said another friend, Claudia Memet.
