2. Samu
Hi! I'm Samu, I’m a complete gentleman with soulful eyes and a heart way bigger than my wrinkly forehead. I'm looking for my forever family, and I promise I'm worth it.
My résumé:
• Potty trained (nailed it)
• Crate trained (I’m sometimes reluctant, someone has to protect the human beds)
• Great eater. I'll finish my bowl, then politely ask what's on your plate
• Toy enthusiast. Squeaky, fluffy, ropey, I love them all
• Expert snuggler, especially on beds. Yes, I know which pillow is yours.

My social life: My foster brother Jax and I are tug-of-war besties, and we could play all day. I'd probably be happiest in a home with another playful pup to wrestle with. I also met some neighbor kids and was a total gentleman!
Still working on: Leash walking. The world is just SO exciting, and I'm learning that we don't have to sniff all of it at once. A patient human and some practice will help me get there.
If you want a goofy, loving sidekick who will make you laugh, follow you everywhere, and keep your couch warm, I'm your guy.

3. Jaxon
Hi there friend, my name is Jaxon! Are you ready to have a paw-sitively amazing life? Because I am fur-real looking for a couch to call my own!
Honestly, I'm not sure who I love more: other people, or other doggies, but I love meeting new friends, whether they are two-legged or four-legged. I really just cannot wait to meet YOU!
I really love going to the park and getting to play and run with the other pups, but I'm also just as happy to lounge around on the couch with you. I really just want my family around so we can all love each other. I'm still learning what kind of toys I like, but I will be sure to get back on here and update you.

I am really a lover-boy at heart. I am a world champion at wiggling my whole body with excitement. I'll show you the best of my wiggling abilities every single time you walk through the door and say hello to me again! I also show off my wiggling to new friends; did I mention I love meeting new people?
I would really love to be in a home with another dog. I really feel safe and comforted in the presence of a good friend, and possibly future sibling! I also love kids too, so if you have little ones in the family, I am very patient and promise I would be a fantastic brother to them. I have not spent too much time around kitty cats, but I don't have much of a prey drive. I'll let you know soon if I think I'd get along with your kitties.
I am fully house-trained and crate-trained - my crate is my safe and cozy space and I love to go in there to relax. I do need some guidance when walking on a leash, but I don't pull whatsoever!!
Thanks for reading about me so far, and I promise I will be back on here soon with more info for you! I hope I get to meet you and have a chance to show you some of my world class wiggles. If you have any questions so far, please reach out and ask to get in touch with my paw-sitively amazing foster, Riley.
Fur-real though, you're paw-some for taking the time to learn about me! I'm staying paw-sitive and hoping we can be friends fur-ever! HAVE A BOXER-RIFIC DAY!

4. Ursula
Well, hello there! My name is Ursula, and unlike the villain in
The Little Mermaid
, I’m really just a sweet girl looking for my happily-ever-after! I’m a playful Boxer who loves balls, having fun, and entertaining myself with my favorite toys. Fair warning, though: I’m a pretty serious chewer, so durable toys are definitely my love language!
I’ve learned that my crate is my safe space, and I’m potty trained, too! Since I spent time living outdoors before coming into foster care, I’m still learning about this big, exciting world and how to be the best family companion I can be.

I’m not a fan of cats or other dogs, so I’d do best as your one-and-only four-legged friend. With a patient human, consistency, and lots of love, I have so much potential to keep growing and learning.
Are you looking for a sweet, playful, loyal companion to share life’s adventures with? I could be your girl! Please come meet me soon. My forever home is out there, and I’m ready to find it!

5. Bella Rose
Est DOB: 1/24/24
Weight: 11lbs
Bella
Rose is the perfect pint-sized companion with a heart full of love.
Bella
came into rescue with her puppies, while the transition was scary at first,
Bella
has truly blossomed during her nearly three weeks in foster care and is showing everyone what a sweet, loving little girl she is. When
Bella
first arrived, she was unsure of her new surroundings and needed a few days to decompress but was soon interacting with people and other pets.
New people can still make her a little nervous at first, but her curiosity and loving nature quickly win out and within a few minutes she moves in for pets and affection.
Bella
Read more about Bella Rose
loves attention and is happiest when she's close to her people. Whether she's soaking up cuddles, accepting treats for a job well done, or perfecting her lap dog skills, she wants to be part of the family. She has an adorable habit of hopping into your lap, turning around, and sitting back against you like a small child settling into their favorite chair. It's impossible not to smile when she does it!
She's food-motivated, eager to bond with those she trusts, and has a medium energy level.
Bella
tends to take her cues from the activity around her, happily joining in when it's playtime and settling down when it's time to relax. She sleeps quietly in her kennel at night and is comfortable being crated when her foster family is away.
Like many dogs who have experienced change,
Bella
still has a few things she's working on. Leashes can be a little scary, and car rides make her nervous, but she's making steady progress with gentle encouragement and patience. She is occasionally curious about toys, though she hasn't quite figured out how to play with them yet. We think she's saving that discovery for her future family to enjoy.
Bella
currently lives in a foster home with several other small dogs and enjoys their company. She seems to do well with most dogs and would likely thrive in a home with another friendly canine companion to help her continue building confidence. She has done well with children as young as 9 years old, though she'll appreciate a family willing to give her a little time to settle in and feel secure. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily curl up in your lap, lean back against you for snuggles, and remind you every day how rewarding a second chance can be,
Bella
Rose may be the perfect addition to your family.
Please consider making this adorable girl a member of your family. As we are a foster based rescue, we do require a completed application to be submitted before we arrange a meet. This can be found on our website at

7. Carrieann
Looking for a professional coach potato/snuggle parter? Look no further! Hello, my name is Carrieann! I found myself at the shelter and I am sure I had owners, but no one came forward to claim me! I'm so thankful that the rescue pulled me because I am so small and everything was scary. I am still cautious but I love people and would love to find a nice, quiet home where I can be a couch potato. I love to snuggle and will gladly pay you in love and kisses. I am in a home with other dogs and cats. I get along with them well, unless I need a little quiet time and then I prefer alone time. I already raised my kids and I think I deserve a little peace and quiet.

9. Sheamus
Hi, I'm Sheamus! ❤️ I'm a sweet, loving young boy searching for the forever family I've been dreaming of. My favorite things are snuggling in laps, playing with toys, and happily chewing on a bully stick. I am shy at first, but I'm happiest when I'm close to my people and love soaking up all the attention and affection I can get. I'm also a smart pup! I'm doing really well with my house training and just need a patient, loving family to help me keep building on what I've learned. I can do well with other dogs with proper introductions and a little guidance, but I'd also be perfectly happy as your one and only best friend. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a gentle heart and lots of love to give, I can't wait to meet you. Maybe my forever home is with you!

19. Dash
Dash (originally named 'BESO' by CAP) was pulled from CAP after he showed 'kennel cough' symptoms. Since there are so many unvaccinated/young dogs in the shelter, it was not safe for anyone to leave him there. ALL of our dogs are fully vaccinated against kennel cough, so bringing him into our care was safe. He went straight to our vet, where they told us he showed NO sign of kennel cough. (Probably just the irritation of the trachea from his trach tube during his neuter surgery!) This little boy is a delight.

20. Meliyah
Meet Meliyah—a tiny girl with a big love for lap time!
This sweet Yorkie mix weighs just 6.24 pounds and is happiest cuddling with her people. Her previous owner describes her as affectionate, playful, gentle, and eager to please. She enjoys comfy dog beds, couch time, and making sure you know when someone is at the door!
Read more about Meliyah
Meliyah is reported to be house-trained, leash-trained, and a good car passenger. She gets along with other dogs, but she would also enjoy being the center of someone’s world. She needs a home without cats or toddlers. Her former owner reported that she growled or snapped when a toddler handled her roughly, so gentle handling and respect for her small size are essential.
Her family surrendered her out of concern for her safety after rough toddler interactions and another dog’s food aggression toward her. Now she’s looking for a home where she can relax, feel secure, and soak up the affection she loves.
Since coming into rescue, Meliyah has been spayed and received a dental cleaning, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. She tested negative for heartworms.
Have room in your heart—and on your lap—for Meliyah? Apply to adopt through Yorkie Rescue Houston!
She is on a 'sensitive stomach' food and owner reports success with that.

Adopting a dog in Brazos Country
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
