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.

Both of Edith's diseased eyes were removed.  She is learning to navigate her small world.

She will NOT go to a home with an inground pool/pond.

Edith came to us from BARC animal shelter.  These notes were on the email from BARC:

Good Afternoon!

The animals below will be humanely euthanized on 7/9/22.

Dogs

A1829815 Edith (DB03) – Geriatric, Possible Cataracts, Possible Diabetes, Dermatitis (possible flea allergy)( PS 7/7)

By law, all stray dogs must be held for 72 hours.  This girl was NOT going to get an extension.  Rescue was her ONLY chance at living.  

We tagged her and took her straight to our vet.  Severely flea infested and as a result, total hair-loss.  Mature cataracts. Toenails over-grown, wounds on her back, legs and belly from itching so much.  This precious girl was probably eager to die.  She was miserable. 

We aim to change that!

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.
