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.

Rolly is a happy, playful young boy. He is coming out of his shell as he learns to trust. He is slowly starting to get along with other dogs, but much prefers to be one-on-one with his human. We have started him on pain management and he has become a much happier little guy, so his new forever home should continue this treatment.

Rolly was 'confiscated' by BARC on 3/22.  BARC noted: "Rolly was involved in a bite case on 3-21-23.  The victim, a juvenile, attempted to get in the kennel with Rolly.  The result was the victim was bitten on the face.  The bite is described as major and the victim went to the hospital for the bite to be cleaned, there is no other treatment documented. Rolly has been timid but friendly with the shelter staff."

It is our FIRM belief this family was negligent.  Not the dog, not the child.  THE PARENT!

Because of his past, we believe that Rolly is best suited for a home without young kids.

Rolly's ideal home will have no other pets, no children (under 15), and would be best as a 'solo act/only dog' who gets lots of your attention.

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.
