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.

Romeo has done a 180°.  This little old man decided he wanted to LIVE!

Romeo has been given the 'all clear' by his vet.  His cancerous eye was removed.  He responded well to treatment,  He uses a doggie door. 

He is an AMAZING little dog.. with SO MUCH love to give.... He's stubborn, and strong willed... wanting to discover what's beyond his leash.  He DOES NOT TOLERATE CATS! 

Romeo does have mild luxating patellas, but he doesn't seem to be bothered by that.

Romeo will NOT GOT TO A HOME WITH CHILDREN (as he has a bite history) 

Romeo was found by a good Samaritan in a pet carrier in a field.  He was flea infested and his hematocrit was in the single digits.  The Good Sam dropped him off at a vet clinic nearby and a a vet tech took him home and syringe fed him, administered Sub-Q fluids... but realized he needed more help than she had resources for.  She reached out to us.  We picked him up from her home the next day!  We rushed Romeo to our vet for evaluation.  He continued to decline.  At the end of the day, we transferred him to Blue Pearl ER for a blood transfusion.  He was dying.  The next day, we took him back to our vet for observation.  We brought him home and fed him and gave him meds.  Each day he got stronger.  Each day his will to live grew stronger and stronger.  10 days after he was found, he was strong enough for surgery.  We removed his ruptured eyeball, and gave him a dental.  We are hoping alleviating some of his pain will help him overcome his tendency to bite.  Follow Romeo on our Facebook page.

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.
