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.

Jasmine came in as an owner surrender.  Her military family is stationed in Germany and Jasmine developed a skin issues.  Her family spend a lot of time, money and heartache trying to discover what the cause was. 

She was losing her hair and developing hot spots.  Mom flew her all the way from Germany to our rescue so we could help her!

Based on her testing, our vet determined she was had a food allergy.  Beef and lamb.

So, salmon it is! :) 

Jasmine started off a slightly anxious girl, jumpy, if you will.  (who wouldn't!?  whole world changed!)   After a long flight and a few days decompression, she is a much happier baby!  She still takes her Fluoxitine, but we will try to wean her off of it.  She is much calmer now.  She's still uncertain as to her 'place' in the pack, preferring her human companions to the doggies.

She's an excellent bed buddy who curls up next to you for a full night's sleep without interruption, and happily goes outside to potty the next morning!

Due to her anxiety, she will do best in a home with older (15+) children or an empty nester.

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.
