All applications from 2024 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.

UPDATE 11/5/19 ************* Ryder's foster mom says he is the sweetest dog and so eager to please his human. He is crate trained but definitely prefers to sleep with you and roam around while you’re gone. He’s not a chewer and just sleeps in his bed until you get back home. He does much better when he gets to roam free because he is so chill. Ryder needs to be the only dog in a home as he tends to not do so well with other dogs near his human. He does just fine in an apartment, but he definitely prefers to have a yard that he can just hangout in and sunbathe. Ryder is potty trained, knows how to sit, stay, lay down, and picks up on things pretty quick. He loves to be next to his human and constantly give you love. He’s the best cuddle bug and loves the attention just as much. Ryder is very cautious with new people and will bark when he first sees them, but once he warms he is just fine. He takes some time to adjust to new situations and people, but lots of patience and love goes a long way with him. He would be a great addition to a loving home. He has not been around kids so how he reacts is unknown. It's now time to find him his forever home! ****************

This gorgeous 'parti-boy' was 'found' 2 months ago by a citizen who surrendered him to BARC when she suddenly discovered she was 'allergic' to this poodle/Silky mix. Ryder has been treated for HW.... he is as healthy as we can get him.. now, he needs a forever home. Please apply to take this boy home.... he bonds with his caregiver and doesn't like to share!!

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.
