Yorkie Rescue Houston is a recognized 501(c)(3) tax exempt rescue recognized by the IRS as a charitable organization.
EIN # 47-5050634

 Founded in September of 2015 in an effort to help reunite lost and stolen Yorkies and other small dogs with their rightful owners using due diligence, leveraging social media, rescue contacts and advocates in allowing legal owners every opportunity to recover their missing pet.  In the event an owner cannot be located within 5 days, the pets are then put up for adoption.

We are committed to reducing the suffering of Houston's homeless, abandoned, abused, lost, unwanted Yorkies and other small dogs through vaccination, education, spay/neuter, rehabilitation and rehoming.

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.
