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.

**update**

Wrigley is also known as 'The destroyer of anything fluffy'

He delights in rendering all soft and fluffy items flat and unusable! no Toy or bed is safe.

Also, this boy is stubborn and not responsive to kissy invites to 'go outside'.

Wrigley was surrendered by his family with a small 'tumor' on his back.  He had become 'bitey'.  (I would too, if allowed to suffer the pain of being MATTED TO THE SKIN!)

We took him from the shelter and he went straight to our vet. It wasn't a tumor.  THEY were cysts.  He had 5 large cysts that had been allowed to grow unchecked.  He was badly matted and required sedation grooming.  While  he was under, he also got a badly needed dental!  All 5 cysts were removed and he is healing nicely.

Wrigley is a bit of a loner, preferring to chill in a quiet room.  He gets along with other dogs, but does not seem to enjoy their company, he does not engage in play or other activities.  We believe he will do best with an experienced dog owner with no other dogs in the home.

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.
