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.

Birkin was surrendered by his family when work demanded more time in the office.  His perfect home will be a full time at home parent.  Birkin has separation anxiety and needs a stable calm home environment.  He get's along with other dogs, but prefers to be your only baby.  He wants to sleep in bed with you.

Birkin is reported to have had seizures.  He has not had any in our care yet, and our vet doesn't want to start him on meds until we have a better understanding of their triggers (if any) and severity.  His labs were pretty good, with only the T4 being out of range.  We have authorized a thyroid panel for insight.

Birkin likes toys and will play fetch and enjoys short walks.

Birkin is looking for his forever home.  A home that, will never abandon him or decide he not important!  There is a possibility that seizure prevention meds may be in his future.  We just don't know yet.

So, if that's a deal breaker for you, do not apply.

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.
