You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.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. donate@yorkierescuehouston.org or, if you prefer: our fundraising platform, Zeffy Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered are available for Foster-to-Adopt only.  A FTA contract is required.   HW+This sweet boy’s story is heartbreaking. Kevin was being surrendered to BARC when we happened to be there picking up Luna. He sat in the back of a pickup truck, confined in a wire crate under the blazing 90° Texas sun. BARC had already reached their daily limit for owner surrenders and it wasn’t even noon yet so they had to turn him away. We couldn’t walk away from him. We told his owners to wait across the street and, as soon as we finished with Luna, we met them there and brought Kevin to safety. Kevin is completely shut down right now. He’s so frightened.  Every trip outside is spent scanning for escape routes. It’s clear he’s never known love, a gentle touch, or kindness. He’s lived his whole life just roaming, surviving, and avoiding danger. He’s learning, slowly, that he’s safe now. That human hands can comfort instead of hurt. And, not surprisingly, he tested heartworm positive, a direct result of long-term neglect. We will help Kevin heal, inside and out. We’ll teach him what love feels like, and show him that he never has to face the world alone again.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 9:08 am

Story
Meet Frankie Joe 🐾 Frankie Joe is a 6-year-old Maltese weighing in at 14 pounds of pure sweetness. This little guy has been through a lot and is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. Because of that, Frankie Joe can be very scared at first and will need a patient, understanding home willing to give him the time and reassurance he deserves. He’s already making progress—he knows how to use the doggie door and is currently working on house training. With consistency and encouragement, he’ll continue to improve and gain confidence. Frankie Joe also gets along well with other dogs, which can really help him feel more secure in his new environment. He has successfully completed heartworm treatment and is on the road to a healthier, happier life. Frankie Joe may be a little shy, but underneath that timid exterior is a sweet soul just waiting to bond with his person. With love, patience, and a calm home, he has the potential to truly blossom into a loyal companion 💚 Adoption fee is:$400 Adoption fees are variable.

Story
Napolean is a sweet and loving senior. We call him Niko, it’s easier and he responds to the nickname. Niko is an uncomplicated dog that would thrive where he is loved and adored. His foster says “he does NOT act like a senior dog” and “he’s one of the nicest dogs she’s I’ve fostered.” The name Napolean suits him because he is brave and thinks he is much bigger than 10 pounds when he plays and cuddles with the foster family’s three large labradors. He also LOVES their senior horse. They pick him up so he can sniff her and he’s happy as can be. He’s also good with children (8 and up) and the groomers. Even though it took the groomer two hours to get out all the mats from overgrown hair, he was a champ. He is heartworm positive. He's had 30 days of Doxycycline and a proheart injection. He needs to be re-tested in June 2026 for heartworm disease. Niko is also neutered, up to date on shots, and microchipped. He is mostly blind but has some visibility. Despite his blindness, he manages to get around in the house on his own. Because he is so brave and willing to explore, he needs supervision when he’s outside so his foster parent accompanies him when he potties and walks around the yard. He doesn’t need a leash, just supervision. He has quite a bit of training down - house trained, crate trained, and walking on leash. His foster says he is super cute and “trots like a prancing pony picking up his little feet up.” He likes to ride along on the front seat of their truck (tethered), popping his head to look around or lying down. He also loves treats and toys. He’s chewed up all the Benebones at his foster home. Because of his senior dog teeth, his kibble needs to be moistened and mixed with soft canned food. Adoption fee is: $200 ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, home check and final contract. The application to adopt can be found at www.camorescue.com Adoption fees are variable.

Story
At just one year old and 11 pounds, Bitty Mateo is a gentle, tender-hearted little terrier mix with the sweetest soul. This tiny survivor came from a hoarding situation, but you’d never know it from the quiet hope and love he carries in his heart. Each day his curious, adventurous side shines a little brighter. As his confidence grows, so does his playful spirit and before long you’ll see the adorable puppy zoomies he loves to break out in around the yard. Bitty enjoys walks and does wonderfully on leash. He’s also a big fan of toys and absolutely loves playing fetch. He thinks car rides are fantastic! With a consistent routine, he’s reliably potty trained. This sweet boy truly shines around other animals and people of any age. Bitty is wonderful with other dogs, cats, and great with kids, making him a lovely addition to a happy, patient family. Bitty is vision impaired due to previous inflammation in his eye or possibly genetics, but it hardly slows him down. He navigates his world beautifully and takes life in stride with quiet bravery. If you’re searching for a cheerful little companion who radiates gratitude and love, Bitty may be your perfect match. With kindness, patience, and maybe a furry sibling by his side, this special little guy will brighten your life more and more each day.
