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.

Deena was found running loose in Pasadena, TX.  The finder reached out to us for help.  We didn't have any place to put  her, so we put her in boarding at our vet for the weekend.  When we went to pick her up from the vet, they told us she was microchipped!! WAIT!  WHAT??

O! M! G!

Great, let's contact the chip company and let them know we have this girl!!

Chip company provided owners name and phone number.  

We texted the phone number, and told the lady we had her dog.  She didn't even know the dog was missing!!  She had given the dog to a family member last year when she became unable to care for her.  Apparently the family member was unable to care for her as well.

We asked her if she'd like to surrender her to us, and she agreed!

Now this girl will get the care she needs and deserves!

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.
