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.

Surrendered by her owner to BARC animal shelter to be killed because they didn't want to seek medical care for her after watching her be hit by a car.

We immediately pulled this little girl into rescue and a quick trip to the vet with xrays reveals no broken bones.  Some minor soreness and a broken heart was all she was suffering with.  They said her name was Casanova.  We decided she would never hear that name again.  Cassie still suffers from emotional trauma.  She feels safe in her crate.  She seeks it and desires it.  She till tolerate love and attention, but is terrified of someone taking her from her crate.  She is in the home of an experienced foster who is helping her overcome her PTSD.  She still screams occasionally, but recovers once she realizes she's safe.

Foster notes:

she's definitely not good at sleeping w people.. she's too hyper and starts walking around etc.. she always look for her crate.. once she gets there, that's when she growls at the world.. you take her outside, she is all friendly and nice and don't growl or anything at all.. her "bites" and growls aren't dangerous.. she also goes on her own to potty if there is a doggy door.. she is weirdly trained.. she goes outside if she has access outside.. if not, she will go in front of the door. She's better alone.. she get along w other dogs if set loose but she doesn't like to play or anything. She's a loner.. her cries is just how she is.. she seems like she will not stop.. she randomly cries but is mostly because she wants to go potty or wants to see a person she can growl to from her crate.. outside of it, she stops or doesn't do it at all.. lol she's something else!

She doesn't like to be taken outside and left alone outside for potty.. she will cry.. if she goes on her own, she doesn't.. she just goes and get back on her safe place.. she is all about safe place.. That's the only place she gets cranky.. she don't want anyone near it.

nothing wrong with her.. her new owner needs to understand she cries like she's been murdered but she does it to get the owners attention.. her murder cry is just her crying

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.
