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.

This sweet boy’s story is heartbreaking. Kevin was being surrendered to BARC when we happened to be there picking up Luna. He sat in the back of a pickup truck, confined in a wire crate under the blazing 90° Texas sun.

BARC had already reached their daily limit for owner surrenders and it wasn’t even noon yet so they had to turn him away. We couldn’t walk away from him. We told his owners to wait across the street and, as soon as we finished with Luna, we met them there and brought Kevin to safety.

Kevin is completely shut down right now. He’s so frightened.  Every trip outside is spent scanning for escape routes. It’s clear he’s never known love, a gentle touch, or kindness. He’s lived his whole life just roaming, surviving, and avoiding danger.

He’s learning, slowly, that he’s safe now. That human hands can comfort instead of hurt. And, not surprisingly, he tested heartworm positive, a direct result of long-term neglect.

We will help Kevin heal, inside and out. We’ll teach him what love feels like, and show him that he never has to face the world alone again.

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.
