Dolly’s Story

A local street-dog advocate found this precious girl in one of the most neglected parts of town, Sunnyside, a place known for its deep poverty and heartbreaking suffering. Dolly had been left to die. Matted to the skin, swarming with fleas, and starving, she was barely hanging on.

She needed help, and we immediately said yes.

Once Dolly was bathed and shaved, the full extent of her condition became clear. She was severely emaciated, weighing under 10 pounds when she should weigh at least 15. Every bone in her back and hips was visible. We started her on a careful re-feeding plan with high-calorie puppy food and added liver and pro-biotics to boost her nutrition. She received a full veterinary exam, but she was too fragile to receive vaccines at that time.

Dolly is now slowly — but steadily — gaining weight. She’s been dewormed, and once she’s stronger, she’ll be ready for her spay and dental. She is not housebroken yet, but we are actively working on that.

Despite everything she’s endured, Dolly is gentle, loving, and makes the perfect little bed buddy. Her spirit is soft, sweet, and resilient — she just needed someone to care.

Dolly’s journey isn’t finished yet, but she is safe, loved, and finally getting the chance she always deserved.  Can you help this girl become the amazing dog she will be?

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.
