All applications from 2023 have been purged. 

All dogs listed here are available for adoption from Yorkie Rescue Houston.  Our goal is to ensure our rescued pets go to their forever home and never end up back in the system.  To that end, an application is required on all potential adopters.   Our adoption fee varies by dog.  We accept electronic funds via VENMO or Paypal, or cash only.

Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered are available for Foster-to-Adopt only.  A FTA contract is required.

This poor girl.  Where do we start?  

She was left in the care of a friend when the 'owner' left the country for a week, which turned in to 4 weeks. Then 5 weeks.  Now, it's been 6 Weeks.  This poor dog has been abandoned.  During her time with the sitter, she became ill. The 'owner' refused to authorize medical treatment.  Soon, the illness became life threatening.  Since the sitter didn't have the means to treat major illness, we sponsored her medical care xrays, labs, and 2 E.R. visits... Diagnosis, Pneumonia.  Vodka was sent back to the sitter's home to recover with medicine.  She recovered, and the 'owner' STILL didn't come back.  So, she's been surrendered to us.  Vodka is a delightful little purebred Frenchie.  She's a senior, just looking for some love and warm place to live out her days.

I caught her playing with a toy this morning... picking it up and tossing it in the air.. fetching it, and tossing it again!  What a sweetheart she is.

Only an experienced dog owner with brachycephalic breeds should apply.  Your vet history should verify your experience.  No other apps will be considered.

Public Service Announcement:
Effective Immediately - Due to limited resources, we will now hold FOUND (stray) dogs for 5 days. After that, they will be eligible for ADOPTION.

Please note that we have no shelter where our rescues can be viewed. All of our dogs are in private homes being fostered until they find their forever home. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application.

Please understand,

Yorkie Rescue Houston has no paid staff.  We are all volunteers.  We also have families, jobs and lives outside of rescue.  We do our best to communicate with our potential adopters, but please understand, we simply do not have the resources to contact every applicant personally.   

IF YOUR APPLICATION FOR ADOPTION IS APPROVED, WE WILL CONTACT YOU!

If you fail to provide the information requested (Vet and/or personal reference contact information) YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE DENIED.
