YORKIE RESCUE HOUSTON Rescuing Yorkies. Changing Lives. Creating Forever Families. Yorkie Rescue Houston (YRH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue organization serving the Houston, Texas area. EIN 47-5050634. We rescue Yorkshire Terriers and other small dogs who are homeless, abandoned, surrendered, neglected, abused, lost, or otherwise in need of a safe place to land. Our dogs receive the veterinary care, rehabilitation, socialization, and individual attention they need while living in private foster homes. When they are ready, we carefully match them with appropriate permanent homes. We are a foster-based rescue. Our ability to save dogs depends on people willing to open their homes and become foster families. FOSTERS ARE THE BACKBONE OF RESCUE Want to save a dog without making a lifetime commitment? Become a foster. Every dog who enters our rescue needs a safe, loving foster home. Our foster families provide the day-to-day care that allows a rescued dog to recover, decompress, learn, and prepare for adoption. They also help us understand each dog's personality, needs, and ideal forever home. Fostering is temporary—but its impact can last a lifetime. It is so rewarding to see a dog become all they were meant to be! Why do we always need more fosters? Because there is no shortage of dogs that need help! But there is a shortage of willing hearts! There is an endless need for qualified foster families. YOU CAN BE THE NEXT WILLING HEART. DOGS LOOKING FOR FOREVER HOMES The dogs in our rescue are not numbers or kennel occupants. They are individuals with different personalities, histories, medical needs, and requirements for their future homes. Our goal is not simply to find someone willing to take a dog. Our goal is to find the right home for each dog. Visit our available dogs to learn more about the Yorkies currently looking for their forever families. WANT TO ADOPT? Adoption is a commitment to provide a rescued dog with a safe, loving, permanent home. Our adoption process is designed to help us determine whether a particular dog is a good match for your household and whether your household is a good match for that dog. We consider each application individually and carefully review the needs of both the dog and the applicant. RESCUE MEANS MORE THAN FINDING A HOME Many of the dogs who enter rescue need more than a new address. Depending on their circumstances, dogs may need veterinary treatment, vaccinations, testing, parasite prevention, dental care, spay/neuter surgery, nutritional support, rehabilitation, socialization, or time to recover from neglect or abandonment. Our foster-based model allows us to address those needs while providing the security and individual attention that dogs need to move successfully toward adoption. LOCAL RESCUE. LOCAL DOGS. Yorkie Rescue Houston is based in Spring, Texas, and our rescue dogs are located in the Houston area. We do not transport dogs across the country for adoption. Keeping our rescue local allows our volunteers and foster families to work together to provide hands-on care and allows adopters to meet the dogs and participate in our local rescue community. YOU CAN HELP Not everyone can foster or adopt—and that's okay. There are many ways to support rescue. FOSTER ADOPT VOLUNTEER DONATE Every foster, adopter, volunteer, and donor helps make rescue possible. [BECOME A FOSTER] Highlighted Dogs
See all the Dogs!
Surrendered with her Fur-Sister, Ari, this sweet girl can see shadows and movement, but we don't believe she can see much else. She is slowly learning our environment and we believe these girls can be separated. She is becoming more independent and soloing more frequently.
Absolutely NO inground pools or stairs for this girl's forever home.
She does quite well with our doggie door. She is not a fan of men.
