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.

Found dog.  Horrible skin infection.  bilateral ear infections.  Surrendered to our rescue.  Imagine our surprise to find this dog is CHIPPED .  That means he is NOT a street dog, but rather, he's an OWNED Dog... and in this deplorable condition.

We reached out to the chip company to report 'We have this dog!' and here, now, 10 days later... the owners have FAILED to respond  They are NOT LOOKING for this boy.  He is in the loving care of a great medical foster who will give him his medicated baths, and treat his painful skin all the while loving him and showing him that not all humans are awful.

He will learn that his is loved and wanted.  He will then find his REAL forever family.

This boy does NOT like to be crated.  His forever home should plan to allow him to sleep in a bed with his human or at least in the same room in a doggie bed on the floor - not a kennel.

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.
