Ziggy needs a caretaker or foster! Won't you consider helping him get a new start?

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.

 

Req. special food for the rest of his life

Ziggy showed up at the Humble Animal Shelter with what can only be described as a HUGE bulge in his scrotal area.  The tumor was removed during his neuter, and it was determined to be cancerous.  The 'cure' is removal!. - Done!

Then, his fostermom observed blood in his urine...back to the vet.  Tests revealed bladder stones and a blockage in his urethra.  After an attempt to push them back into the bladder failed, the only recourse was  a procedure  called Penile Amputation and Urethrostomy. Basically, his penis was removed and his urethra altered to allow him to urinate more like a female.

Ziggy is a happy little pup looking for love.
