1. Papito
Adult (3 years 1 month) · Male · Jack Russell Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 29 mi from Fulshear


DOB 10/1623, weight 16 #
Hey there, everyone! I’m Papito, a black and tan Jackshund (Jack Russell/ Dachshund mix) fella. I was happily situated in my adoptive home until my owners encountered financial difficulties. Unfortunately they had to downsize to a smaller home and couldn’t take me with them. Thank heavens my new foster mom welcomed me with open arms until I can find a new home. I get along great with the visiting grandkids, other small dogs, and even the cats in my foster home, although I’m nervous around large dogs whom I meet on walks.
Read more about Papito
Because my previous household was quiet, when I first arrived in my foster home, I was very fearful and shy because of the robust dog and cat activity. Fortunately, Foster Mom knew that it would take time and patience for me to adjust into my new “digs,” and with her gentle voice and affectionate touch, she has been showing me that I am securely loved, and --voilà! – watching me blossom has been something truly special for her. My prior owners had not trained me well, but Foster Mom is helping me work on my housetraining and crate-training – let’s just say that I’m a work-in-progress.
Now I’m looking for the family who will welcome me into my forever household. If you have a quiet home and a little patience, I think we might be exactly who each of us has been waiting for. Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!
HOPE ID D26-1016-0055
Papito’s $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.

2. Boy
Young (2 years) · Male · Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier / Cairn Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 29 mi from Fulshear


DOB 10/16/24, weight 22 pounds
Hey there, everyone! I’m Boy, a happy, friendly, and calm grey-cream Wheaton/ Cairn Terrier mix fella who weighs exactly in the middle of these two breeds! What a perfect size I am to be devoted to all ages of hoomans in my foster home – adults and grandkids. Plus I get along great with the cats and other small dogs! I’m already crate- and house-trained, which is another bonus.
Read more about Boy
I was happily situated in my adoptive home, along with my little buddy King, until my hooman mom was hospitalized and my elderly hooman dad could not care for the two of us. Thank heavens my new foster mom opened her arms and home to both of us until we can find a new home. If you’re looking for a sweet scruffy terrier who’s just the right size – not to small and not too large – I’m the loving boy made to order for you. Arrange to meet me today, and see if I don’t cause love and laughter to echo throughout your house among you and your kids.

4. Dash
Adult (6 years 5 months) · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (medium coat) · 32 mi from Fulshear


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.

5. Meliyah
Adult (8 years 11 months) · Female · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (medium coat) · 32 mi from Fulshear


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.

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.
Read more about Samu
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.

Adult (5 years 5 months) · Male · Boxer · 5 mi from Fulshear










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.
Read more about Jaxon
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!
MORE DETAILS COMING SOON! UNTIL THEN PLEASE CHECK OUT MY FRIENDS
We transport our dogs up North and out of Texas. We use trusted transport partners to safely deliver them to their families.
Please contact Houston Boxer Rescue (HBR) regarding the transport fee for our dogs.

13. Gigi Grace
Young (5 years) · Female · Dachshund / Cavalier King Charles Spaniel / Mixed (long coat) · 47 mi from Fulshear



Gigi Grace--or Grace, as we call her--can be calm and is always affectionate, once she gets to know you. She is my shadow. She follows me everywhere, and when I sit down, she jumps in my lap. She loves to nap curled up next to me. If she's not on my lap, she is on the floor right next to me. However, she is also very playful, especially lately, since she is now used to us and fully recovered from her surgery (spaying). After breakfast, she likes to play with our other dachshund. She also has a particular toy that she likes. She will shake it and run around with it and play tug-of-war with me. She LOVES to run around the yard.
Read more about Gigi Grace
She tries to get the collie to chase her, and she loves to chase the ball. Grace is pretty much house trained. The only time she's had accidents is when we leave the house for a few hours. I am working on getting her to use the pee pad during those times. It's going well, but she's not 100% perfect yet. Grace does not seem to have any separation anxiety, but she has two other dogs here to hang around with when we're gone. No destructive behaviors (like chewing); no excessive barking. The only time she barks is when someone comes to the house. She is good on the leash and in the car. We have really loved having her with us. She has been really easy to take care of.

14. Knox Oath
Young (1 year) · Male · Dachshund (short coat) · 43 mi from Fulshear





Meet Knox Oath!
At just 1 year old and 14 pounds, Knox Oath is a bundle of energy, curiosity, and playful puppy charm! This busy boy wants to know what you’re doing at all times, and if you’re touching something, you can bet he’ll have his nose right there to investigate. Getting dressed can be an adventure with Knox around!
Knox LOVES, loves, loves to play, especially with squeaky toys! He also enjoys running the fence with the neighbor dogs in the backyard and would do well with a playful canine companion who can help him burn off some of that energy.
Read more about Knox Oath
Knox seems to be house-trained, with just one accident on his first day, and he has already learned to use the doggie door. He was pretty wound up during his first few nights, but he’s beginning to settle into his new routine. With consistency, patience, and continued training, this smart boy should keep making progress.
Knox has occasionally shown some food or toy guarding, growling when he feels the need to protect something. While he has not bitten, this is something his future family will need to take seriously and work on through positive-reinforcement training and appropriate management.
Knox is looking for an active family ready for fun, games, and the commitment to help him learn his manners. He has plenty of energy to spare, a curious nose that never quits, and lots of playful personality packed into his 16-pound body. And when playtime is over? He’s happy to be a lap dog, too!
If you’re looking for a lively little sidekick who will keep you smiling and keep you on your toes, Knox Oath might just be your perfect match!

17. Sailor
Adult (5 years 11 months) · Male · Yellow Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 29 mi from Fulshear








Meet Sailor!
Sailor is an approximately 6-year-old Lab mix with a big personality, a love of adventure, and an even bigger love for his people. He’s looking for a home where he can be someone’s loyal companion, adventure buddy, and couch potato—all rolled into one.
Sailor absolutely lights up when he realizes he’s going for a walk, a car ride, or an outdoor adventure. He gets adorably excited at first, then settles right down once he’s on leash or in the car. He would be an amazing match for someone who enjoys hiking, exploring, or spending time near the water.
Read more about Sailor
And water is definitely Sailor’s happy place. He LOVES swimming, playing fetch in a pool or lake, and enthusiastically “attacking” the spray from a garden hose. He does great on a pontoon boat and would probably take well to paddleboarding or canoeing with a little training. On trails, he has excellent recall off leash and loves getting out to explore.
For all his adventurous energy, Sailor is just as happy relaxing at home. He loves being near his people and curling up on the couch. He is crate trained and willingly goes into his kennel—often choosing to rest there on his own. He also rides calmly in the car, including on long trips.
Sailor has had three weeks of professional sleep-away training and knows a great list of commands, including heel, sit, stay, down, place, kennel, here, “leave me alone,” and more. He walks nicely on leash and is very food motivated. His all-time favorite treat is hard-boiled egg yolk; he can hear the little “tap tap” of an egg on the counter from practically anywhere in the house and will come running! He also has excellent house manners and does not chew things that aren’t his toys.
Sailor would thrive best as the only pet in the home. Cats are far too intriguing and, in his opinion, clearly meant to be chased. He has done well with some smaller dogs, particularly more submissive females. On walks, he is generally easy to redirect around other reactive dogs, although he may respond if another dog surprises or challenges him through a fence.
Most of all, Sailor loves being part of his family. He wants to be included, whether that means heading out for an adventure or hanging out together at home. He would do best in an adults-only household or a home with older teenagers.
Sailor’s current family loves him deeply and is heartbroken to be looking for a new home for him. Before they adopted him, Sailor had spent about two years living in a kennel. Sailor is comfortable with affection from adults—even big hugs—but he is uneasy about being touched by young children, likely because of something in his life before he joined the family.
Because their children understandably want to love on him, his family has made the difficult decision that Sailor deserves a home where everyone can feel comfortable and where he can truly thrive.
Sailor has already been through a lot, and he has so much love, fun, companionship, and adventure left to give. In the right home—one without young children and preferably without other pets—he is going to make someone an incredibly devoted best friend.
Please share and help us find Sailor the home he deserves.

18. Woody Scout
Young (4 years 1 month) · Male · Dachshund (long coat) · 43 mi from Fulshear





Meet Woody!
Woody is a handsome 4-year-old, 15-pound red long-haired Dachshund who has already been through more than any dog should. He came to the shelter as a stray, sadly dragging his feet and struggling to walk normally. He spent almost a month waiting for someone to come for him, and thankfully, Dachshund Rescue of Houston did!
Woody is now safe and resting comfortably in a loving foster home. He can walk, although he still has a funny gait, so for now he is enjoying some well-deserved Kennel rest to give his body the time it needs to heal completely.
Read more about Woody Scout
Despite everything he has been through, Woody hasn't let it dampen his spirits. He is a fun, friendly, affectionate boy who loves nothing more than being close to his people. He is a wonderful lap dog and especially enjoys being cuddled and rocked like a baby.
Woody is housetrained, crate trained, leash trained, and does well in the car. He is playful and goofy, but also obedient, intelligent, eager to please, gentle, and even-tempered. He enjoys attention and affection and seems to have a naturally sweet disposition. We believe Woody could be a wonderful addition to a home with children, older adults, and other friendly dogs.
For now, Woody's job is simple: rest, heal, get healthy, and enjoy being loved. Once his body catches up with his happy spirit, we think this special boy is going to make someone an absolutely wonderful companion.
Woody has waited long enough for someone to choose him. Now he just needs a family who will give him the love and patience he deserves.

Est. DOB 8/19/25, wt. 58 lbs
Meet Hershey! Hershey is a beautiful young American Staffordshire Terrier girl with a big smile, a big heart, and a whole lot of personality! She is incredibly sweet, smart, playful, and loyal—and she is ready to be someone’s best friend. Hershey is an affectionate and loyal girl who loves being close to her person. She wants to be part of the action, whether that means playing, running around, showing off her toys, or simply hanging out with the person she loves.
Read more about Hershey &-wags
Hershey is SMART! She knows commands including sit, stay, come here, shake, “get your bone,” and “get your toy.” She loves to play, play-wrestle, run (and she is FAST!), and have a blast with her favorite stuffed toys. She is also housetrained. When Hershey first came to us, she was very nervous, and it appeared that she may have been dumped. But as soon as she realized she was safe, her personality quickly came shining through. And what a personality it is!
Because of what appears to be some trauma in her past, we do have concerns about Hershey living with other animals or being around children, so she would do best in a home where those things aren't part of the picture. We think she deserves a person who can give her the attention, structure, and love she clearly craves.
Hershey is such a beautiful, intelligent, fun, and playful girl. She has an amazing smile, a goofy side, and so much love to give. Her rough start doesn't define her—the happy, silly, loving dog she is today does. Hershey is ready to find her person and start the next chapter of her life

Hey there, everyone! I’m Spring, a very sweet, calm, and very friendly Carolina Dog with four white paws and vest. Although a DNA test would reveal my heritage, I look like the ancient breed of Carolina Dog because of my large, upright ears, “fishhook” tail, and foxy-looking snout. Do you think I look like an Australian dingo?
A Good Samaritan saw me and my buddy Briar wandering for days in Spring Branch. That's why she named me Spring! She finally started feeding me until she could rescue and deliver me to my wonderful Foster Mom. I was so relieved to be in a safe haven because the hardscrabble life is no place for me.
Read more about Spring
Foster Mom assumes that I was someone’s lost or abandoned pet because I’m great with kids as well as the resident cats and I’m already housetrained. With my engaging disposition, it's no surprise that I’m ecstatic when I see her!
Now I’m ready to bring my winsome personality and relaxed tranquility to bless my forever family. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise that we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant that we meet!

Adult (3 months 27 days) · Female · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (medium coat) · 32 mi from Fulshear


Meet Muffin!
Date of Birth: June 7, 2026
Muffin is one of Cookie’s precious puppies, and this tiny little sweetheart is already impossible to resist.
With her beautiful smoky coat, soulful little eyes, and an expression that seems to say she is taking in absolutely everything around her, Muffin is a total heart-stealer. She is growing, exploring, playing, and learning more about the world every day.
Read more about Muffin
Muffin is still a young puppy, so her adult personality is continuing to develop. Her forever family should be prepared to continue all the important work that comes with raising a puppy, including house-training, socialization, basic manners, appropriate exercise, and plenty of patience.
Muffin isn’t just looking for someone who wants an adorable puppy today. She needs a family committed to loving and caring for the wonderful adult dog she will become.
If you have been waiting for a tiny best friend to grow up alongside you, Muffin may be the one.
PUPPY NOTE: Puppies are adorable, but they are also a commitment. They require house-training, continued socialization, supervision, training, appropriate exercise, and patience while they learn how to become great family members. Please consider whether your schedule and lifestyle are appropriate for raising a young puppy before applying.

22. Duke
Adult (4 months 3 days) · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (medium coat) · 32 mi from Fulshear


This puppy is available FOSTER-TO-ADOPT only as he has not yet been neutered.
Puppy Adoption Requirement: Because this puppy is currently too young/small to be altered, 50% of the adoption fee is due at the time of placement. Once the puppy reaches the appropriate age and weight, the adopter is required to present the puppy to our designated veterinarian for spay/neuter surgery. The remaining 50% of the adoption fee must be paid in full before the puppy is picked up following surgery. Completion of the scheduled spay/neuter is a condition of the adoption.
Meet Duke!
Date of Birth: June 7, 2026
Tiny body. Big future. Seriously adorable face.
Read more about Duke
Duke is one of Cookie’s handsome little puppies, sporting beautiful black-and-tan coloring, expressive eyes, and some seriously impressive little ears that appear to have minds of their own.
Duke is still at the beginning of his journey. He is growing, playing, exploring, learning, and experiencing new things every day. His adult personality is still developing, making continued positive socialization and training especially important.
Duke’s forever family should be ready for everything that comes with puppyhood — house-training, supervision, puppy mischief, basic manners, socialization, and plenty of patience.
He needs someone who understands that adopting a puppy means making a commitment not only to the adorable baby standing in front of you today, but also to the adult and senior dog he will eventually become.
If you are looking for a little guy to grow into your best friend, sidekick, cuddle buddy, and professional household supervisor, Duke is accepting applications.
Yorkie Rescue Houston provides the rescue support — you provide the safe place and the cuddles. When he is old enough, you present him to our vet for neuter surgery and only then, do we finalize the adoption.
PUPPY NOTE: Puppies are adorable, but they are also a commitment. They require house-training, continued socialization, supervision, training, appropriate exercise, and patience while they learn how to become great family members. Please consider whether your schedule and lifestyle are appropriate for raising a young puppy before applying.

23. LuLu
Adult (7 years) · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat) · 32 mi from Fulshear




Lulu may have a delicate name, but this little guy has already proven he is one tough Yorkie.
At approximately 7 years old and just 7.4 pounds, Lulu came to Yorkie Rescue Houston after his family sought euthanasia because of a severe injury to his right eye. The veterinary record notes that the cost of the surgery he needed was more than his family could manage. Instead of Lulu’s story ending there, he got his second chance.
Read more about LuLu
Lulu’s injured eye could not be saved, so he underwent an enucleation to remove the right eye. While he was under anesthesia, he was also neutered and received desperately needed dental care. His dental disease was rated Stage 5/5, and 17 teeth were extracted during his procedure.
His initial bloodwork also showed significant anemia along with changes consistent with inflammation. Lulu was started on an iron/vitamin supplement and antibiotics as part of his treatment and recovery. His chemistry panel—including kidney and liver values—was largely within the laboratory’s listed reference ranges.
That sounds like a lot for one tiny dog—and it is. But Lulu is getting something now that every dog deserves: the chance to heal.
Losing an eye does not mean losing a happy life. Dogs adapt remarkably well to having one eye, and Lulu’s missing eye is simply going to become one small part of his story—not the thing that defines him.
What Lulu needs next is a family who understands that rescue is sometimes a process. He has been through pain, major surgery, and enormous change in a very short period of time. His perfect home will give him the patience, security, and affection he needs while he continues recovering and learning that he is finally safe.
Lulu didn’t need his life to end. He needed someone willing to fight for it.
Yorkie Rescue Houston did.
Now we’re looking for the person who will make sure Lulu never needs rescuing again.

24. Bentley
Adult (6 years 2 months) · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (medium coat) · 32 mi from Fulshear




Bentley’s journey to rescue is one of survival, healing, and second chances.
Bentley suffered a brutal attack by another dog that left him with a serious wound. His family immediately sought emergency veterinary care, where the injury was cleaned and Bentley was sent home. Unfortunately, the wound later became severely infected and it became clear that he needed much more extensive medical treatment.
His family tried to get him the help he needed, but as Bentley’s condition became more complicated, his care became overwhelming. With few options left, they made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to their local animal shelter.
Read more about Bentley
Because of the severity of his injuries and the level of medical care he required, Bentley was immediately placed on the euthanasia list.
When the shelter sent out an urgent plea asking rescues to save him, Yorkie Rescue Houston said YES.
We picked Bentley up and took him straight to our veterinarian, where he underwent surgery to debride and thoroughly clean the infected wound. A drainage tube was placed to help the area heal, and Bentley began a course of strong antibiotics along with daily hydrotherapy.
When Bentley returned to the veterinarian to have his drainage tube removed, the difference was remarkable. His body was healing beautifully, and this sweet boy had already come so far.
Now Bentley is ready for the next chapter of his story.
Bentley is an incredibly chill, laid-back boy who seems happiest simply being close to his people. After everything he has experienced, we are looking for a special home that understands that physical wounds can heal faster than emotional ones.
Bentley needs a patient, compassionate family willing to give him the time and security he needs to fully understand that he is safe. He deserves a home where he will never again have to wonder what comes next—a home filled with kindness, consistency, and love.
Bentley survived the hardest part.
Now he just needs someone to show him what forever feels like. A home with NO STAIRS!

Why adopt an adult dog in Fulshear
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
