Snoopy’s journey has been anything but easy. Found as an injured stray, he was taken to BARC and placed on “owner hold” because he had a microchip. But no one came for him. His family knew where he was and simply chose not to reclaim him.

When we first met Snoopy, he was matted to the skin, packed with stickers and thorns, and suffering from a bulging eye injury. Even the simple act of being leashed caused him to scream in fear and pain. No precautions were taken to protect his injured eye, and Snoopy—confused, hurting, and alone—scratched at it until it ruptured.

After six long days in the shelter, we were finally able to bring Snoopy into rescue. He went straight to our veterinarian, where it was determined that the eye could not be saved. He has since had surgery and is now beginning his recovery in a safe, quiet place.

We don’t yet know the full story of who Snoopy is beyond his survival, but we do know this: he is brave, resilient, and deserving of a life where he will never again be abandoned or left to suffer. For now, we’ll give him the time, care, and gentle patience he needs to heal—both inside and out.

Snoopy has made a remarkable recovery.  He's a happy bouncy little boy who wants to cuddle.  Can you take him home with you?

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.
