Dogs for Adoption in Jersey Village, TX: 20 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.

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!

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!

Hey there, everyone! I’m Kathy, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate fawn and white Chihuahua mix gal who absolutely loves when Foster Mom pets me. It’s understandable that I need all the reassurance of love that she gives me because my former owners abandoned me and my friend Kate in the backyard when they moved out. Once I arrived at my foster home, it didn’t take long for my heart to heal, and now I’m all wiggles and wags. Sometimes I can be a bit jealous of other dogs, but generally I get along well with the small dogs in my foster home, and I hit it off great with the resident cats and well as the grandkids when they come to visit.

I do best with lots of close family contact. Wouldn’t you know that cuddling in Foster Mom’s lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? My size makes me an ideal apartment dog, but I relish my daily exercise. Nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. I make it easy for her because I already walk well on a leash. Plus I’m kennel-trained.

Unfortunately, one of the consequences of having irresponsible owners the first time around is that I tested a light positive for heartworms. I’m currently undergoing the Moxi-Doxy treatment protocol, which HOPE will pay for until it is completed. Given my young age and good general health, I’m expected to make a complete recovery.

Now I’m ready to bring my happy and adoring self to bless my new forever family. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU! Although we’re available separately, Kate and I think it would be the cat’s meow if you were looking for a matched pair of fawn and white Chihuahuas and adopted both of us!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

She took a couple of days to decompress, then, suddenly, started experiencing digestive issues. Diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy.... this girl was SICK. We immediately took her to our amazing veterinarian where she did labs, and a comprehensive exam. Bri was experiencing severe pancreatitis. 3 days of hospitalization and treatment, she stabilized. Bri is on low fat (Rx) food. SHE MUST NEVER GET TABLE SCRAPS!

Bri has made a full recovery! and is ready to be your lap baby.

Fifi wants to be close to her person and would thrive with someone who is home much of the day. She currently barks continuously when left without human company, so she is not a good fit for a home where she would regularly spend long hours alone. Her adopter should be prepared to work patiently on separation-related behavior and help her gradually become more comfortable with short periods of alone time.

She is learning to coexist with the other dogs in her foster home and is making progress. However, she may growl or show her teeth when they enter her personal space, and she can be possessive of human attention. Fifi would likely be happiest as the only dog, although a calm, respectful dog may be considered with slow introductions, careful supervision, and a successful meet-and-greet.

Fifi is also a very vocal little watchdog. She alerts to noises and activity around the house, so apartment living or a home with noise-sensitive neighbors may not be the best match.

Her potty training is still a work in progress. She does most of her business outside but occasionally has accidents indoors. A consistent schedule, frequent potty breaks, positive reinforcement, and patience will be important in her new home.

After observing her reaction to a dog-savvy 2-year-old visitor, Fifi should not be placed with young children. A calm adult home would be ideal. Older, respectful teenagers may be considered depending on the family and interaction.

Fifi is crate trained, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative as of May 2026. Veterinary records list her date of birth as June 20, 2020.
