Dogs for Adoption in Harris County, TX: 30 Dogs Looking for a Home

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!

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.

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.

making her a wonderful addition.

I have an adorable personality – although I rarely like to be held -- and I love to run and have fun. Although I’d probably be good around kids, Foster Meowmy prefers my forever family to be toddler-free. I’d probably be good around cats, but I can’t promise that I wouldn’t chase them! I get startled by large dogs, so Foster Mom is insisting that I be adopted into a home with no large dogs. Actually, I'd shine the most if there's only a small, male dog to be my buddy or if I'm an only dog-child.

Foster Mommy noticed that my sisters, Lili and Luna, and I were kept outside by my owners. After expressing her concern to them that we weren’t meant to be strictly outdoor dogs, she was able to persuade them to surrender us to her. They admitted that they couldn’t financially afford to keep us anyway. I weighed 8 pounds at 3 months old and should weigh up to 15 pounds at maturity.

Now I’m ready to become the jaunty, lively new addition to my forever family. In fact, I dream about running around in the backyard with everyone and then collapsing in their laps while we watch TV together. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! I promise we’ll fall head over paws in love with each other the instant we meet!

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.

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

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.

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.

Chiki wasn’t surrendered because she did anything wrong. Her family welcomed premature twin girls at only 27 weeks, followed by a 95-day NICU stay. One of the babies developed chronic lung disease and needs to be kept away from animals and other potential triggers. Chiki consequently had to begin living separately from the family she had always been accustomed to being with, and her owner recognized that Chiki deserved a home where she could once again be part of someone’s everyday life.

And being with her people is exactly what Chiki wants.

She’s a people girl

Her former family describes Chiki as affectionate, playful, a lap dog and a toy lover. She wants attention and closeness, and she especially enjoys people who are generous with affection.

There is, however, a little Yorkie-sized security department operating inside that 7-pound body.

Chiki is territorial and vocal. She barks. A lot. She takes a little time to decide whether a stranger has been cleared for entry into her inner circle, but once she knows you, the affection comes out. Her former owner was very clear that although Chiki is a barker, she is not aggressive.

Translation: Chiki has opinions, and she believes the neighborhood should hear them.

Her surrender paperwork also notes separation anxiety, which makes sense for a dog who spent her entire life closely attached to one family. An adopter who is home frequently and wants a genuinely companion-oriented dog may be an especially good fit.

Potty training: we're going to be honest

Chiki’s owner reported that she is not housebroken.

That means her adopter needs to be prepared for potty training — not merely hope she magically figures it out after moving into yet another unfamiliar environment. Consistency, routine, supervision and patience will be part of the deal.

If pristine floors are your highest priority, Chiki is probably not your girl.

If helping a little senior learn a new routine doesn't scare you, keep reading.

Cats? Nope.

Her surrender form specifically identifies Chiki as not cat friendly, so we are looking for a home without cats.

The medical glow-up

Chiki came into rescue at a beautifully appropriate weight. At her veterinary visits she weighed approximately 7.4–7.5 pounds, with an ideal body-condition score.

Her intake examination was otherwise reassuring: her eyes and ears were clear, heart and lung examinations were normal, her abdomen was comfortable, her skin and coat looked good, and she was walking normally without observed lameness. Her fecal testing was also negative for parasites, Giardia and Coccidia.

The big item on Chiki’s medical to-do list was her mouth.

She arrived with moderate dental disease, and rescue took care of it. Chiki underwent a full dental cleaning with dental X-rays and had nine teeth extracted. Her pre-anesthetic bloodwork was reported as normal.

So yes, girlfriend got the full dental spa package.

She is also microchipped, is reported as up to date on her core vaccines, received ProHeart heartworm prevention and Bravecto flea/tick prevention, and had her nails trimmed and anal glands expressed while getting established with rescue.

What Chiki needs now

For eight years, Chiki knew exactly where she belonged.

Then life changed around her.

Now she needs someone willing to give her the time to understand that she belongs somewhere again.

Her ideal adopter will appreciate a dog who wants closeness, won't be rattled by some barking, understands that she may initially be suspicious of newcomers, and is willing to work patiently on house training and separation anxiety.

Chiki isn't the dog for somebody looking for a perfectly programmed

Hazel is house trained, does well in her crate, and is happy to settle in and relax. She is hard of hearing and mostly blind (but it doesn’t slow her down at all!) and requires daily OTC eye drops for her "dry eye," but these are an easy part of her routine.
Hazel was found roaming in the middle of a street, and we’re so glad she’s now safe and getting the chance to show everyone what a wonderful companion she can be. She would love a calm home where she can enjoy the simple things in life: a cozy spot, some cuddles, and a person to call her own.
If you’re looking for a sweet, quiet, easygoing companion who can be independent one minute and a total cuddle bug the next, Hazel may be your girl!

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

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!

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.
