If you want to FOSTER ONLY please review our FOSTER CONTRACT BEFORE submitting your foster application.  

 Currently, Meet& Greets are held the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month at PetSmart in Spring.  One-off's are arranged by appointment only.  Please be considerate of our volunteers' time.  Do not schedule a meet/greet unless your intention is to adopt. 

Before you bring a new dog into your home, please do some research on successful introduction methods.

Here's an example of one

Walter
Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (medium coat)

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.
