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.

Mona was pulled from the BARC animal shelter with a ruptured eye.  Mona had a microchip, but the owner never registered it and was never notified she needed help!  The shelter allowed us to take her on a 'medical release' with the understanding that if the owner came forward in the 72 hour stray hold, we would relinquish the dog back to the shelter to be reunited with her legal family.  (per policy, we would not be allow to recover any costs associated with her medical care)  We didn't care.  She needed help immediately.  

Fortunately for us, no one ever inquired about her at the shelter and after 72 hours, she became our dog, legally.

Her ruptured eye was removed and she received all her medical care, vaccines, spay, etc....

She is a DELIGHTFUL little girl, looking for a home that DESERVES HER!

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.
