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.

Hi, I am Trudy….I’d like to tell you about myself so you can really fall in love with me!  I am a bit of a loaner, until I’m not.  I spend most of the day happily by myself, but if my foster mom sits down for even a moment I like to remind her how much I love her by letting her pet me.  Sometimes she tries to stop, but I take her hand and put it back in pet position until I think I have given her just the right amount of affection.  Also, at night we watch TV on her bed with my foster dad (he is a sucker for my affection) and my foster sister (we mostly just ignore each other unless it is time for dinner, then we band together to let the humans know).  When the clock hits 9:00pm my body tells me it is bed time. I am such a good girl, I climb and put myself to bed so quiet sometimes they don’t even know I am gone for a while.  Then when the clocks turns 7am I climb back on the bed to let everyone know it is time to wake up (mostly because I can’t open the back door by myself and it is my potty time).  I am certain that if I didn’t let the humans know at exactly 9:00am that it was breakfast time they would for sure forget to feed us!  My foster mom says if I was human I would be an engineer because I am quirky and like to stay on a routine just like my foster dad.  I will also take you on daily walks, but I will let you decide what time we go on those, as long as it is between 4pm & 6pm (Totally flexible).  I am able to stay on my routine because the only time I bark is when it is time for the humans to take care of me so they know If I bark I mean business….they just have to look at the clock and they figure out what the bark means, it is very effective!  I leave all the barking at the mailman, delivery people, wind, etc to my foster sister, it pretty annoying if you ask me (or anyone else)!  

I forgot to tell you, last week these two tiny human boys came over to visit for 4 days.  The big one (4) played with me and I liked it.  The little one that can stand on two feet, but walks better on 4 (he may be part dog) tried to play with me, but I just ignored him until he went away.  My mom said that I was such a good girl and I could teach my foster sister some manners, but I’d rather just ignore her too.

Th last thing you should know because my mom says it is super cute and who doesn’t like a cute Yorkie is that my tongue hangs out of my mouth 95 percent of the time and I prefer to eat off of a plate rather than a bowl.  My mom says it isn’t my fault my tongue is just too long for my mouth and it makes me cute and unique.  The bowl thing is just my preference so I have my own special silicone plate I get to use!

I really like it here at my foster home, but I would really like to have a human to cater to me, I mean love me as much as I will love them!!!  

Trudy takes daily medication called incurin that just gets put in her food in the morning.  this is said to help with hormone caused incontinence.   She is also on daily eye drops.  Trudy received a full workup including a 'senior panel' upon her RE-Intake.

We believe she may have some peripheral vision loss in one eye.

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.
