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.

Surrendered to this rescue when she was found injured, She suffered 'blunt force trauma' (suspected to have been kicked or hit by car)

She was in such bad shape, finder suggested she was close to 8 years old.  When our vet examined her, she aged closer to 5 yr old.

She was examined and xrays revealed a mangled left hip. She needed FHO surgery.  Quick trip to Dr. Hanson (Nederland) and back to rehab.  We noticed she was still not using that back leg, and took her back for another exam/xray.  

She needed a revision.  Another quick trip over to Nederland and back home.  We sent her to Dr. Molly for cold laser therapy (x3) and that seemed to help.

She's still not fully walking on that leg, but is gradually using it.  

Peony's forever home should not have stairs or an inground pool.

She gets along with other small dogs and comfortable around older (11+) kids.

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.
