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.

Punkin was surrendered to our rescue by a good samaritan.  She was found by a resident who wanted the 'dog catcher' to come get her.  The neighbor wasn't having it!  She had seen the girl wandering the neighborhood for a couple of weeks and took the time to gain her trust.  She was finally able to pick her up and realized how sick the baby was.  Besides the massive mammary tumor on her side, she had bi-lateral ear infections, skin infection, and her mouth was a mess. She needed a lot of help.  We got her groomed, started ear meds, had surgery and removed the tumor, spayed her, and got her a badly needed dental.

She is healing nicely.

We named her Punkin.

She is shy at first, but after she trusts you, will seek loves and pets.

Punkin gets along with other dogs, but barks at my kitty

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.
