All applications from 2023 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 Paypal, or cash only.

Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered are available for Foster-to-Adopt only.  A FTA contract is required.

Lexi was surrendered when her family experienced a break up.  She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES children.  (over 5 please)

She's quite the diva, who prefers to potty in the warmth and comfort of the home (on a pee pad) instead of being forced outside.  (TAKE HER ANYWAY!)  She does experience 'excited incontinence' and will leak a little tee-tee in anticipation of being picked up.

She is initially fearful of adults, but warms up once she trusts.

She was NEVER fearful or mistrustful of the foster's 7 year old. (boy child)

Lexi's ideal home will have a full time STAY AT HOME parent with at least 1 (school aged) child (5-9ish?), A fenced yard and a willing 'walker'  

Lexi wants to sleep in the bed with your child.  If that's a deal breaker for you, it's a deal breaker for us.  THIS IS WHAT SHE NEEDS.

Lexi does NOT like the crate.  Her family must not plan to crate her as a matter of routine. She's been well loved and vetted.  No medical concerns.  Her reaction to cats is UNKNOWN.

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.
