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 Zelle, or cash only.

Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered are available for Foster-to-Adopt only.  A FTA contract is required.

This senior boy was surrendered to BARC — without even a name. His elderly owners could no longer care for him due to their own health concerns, but sadly, they didn’t love him enough to leave him with the one thing that was truly his - his name.

We decided he deserved a strong, dignified name, so we called him Logan.

He decided his name was CUJO.

And we promised him that from now on, his life would be filled with the love and respect he should’ve always known.

Cujo came to us in desperate need of a dental, which we’ve taken care of. Now he’s feeling much better and ready to find a home that truly deserves him. 

Regardless of his past, we hope future is bright.

*************************

Cujo has been in the loving care of an experienced foster and has learned how to appreciate being loved.  However, he will still BITE if he's 'forced' to do something he doesn't want to do.... like 'move' or 'go back'  

ONLY EXPERIENCED DOG HANDLERS should apply for Cujo

He is a fear biter.  for this reason he absolutely will NOT go to a home with children or GRANDCHILDREN!  Don't even ask.

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.
