Words cannot express enough love & gratitude we have for Yorkie Rescue Houston (YRH). Our experience with this non-profit organization began in 2021 as our family was actively looking to extend our "yorkie family" by four feet/paws. As I was aimlessly perusing various avenues, the YRH Facebook page came across my feed as if by pure destiny. I instantly became a victim of "love at first sight" with a chubby baby (Django) they saved and were vetting. After filling out an application, Bobbie was in one word- AWESOME. Her love & passion was evident as the adoption process began. She was engaged in every step of the way & communicated clearly the expectations of the rescue group as well as the baby we were adding to the family. YRH not only saves lives of the furbabies, but completes the lives of the families lucky enough to adopt them. Our family will forever be grateful for our Timmy (formerly named Django) and would give 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, etc. Thank you YRH.
I had to put my 16 year old yorkie to sleep this past summer. I was not looking to adopt so soon but when my daughter and I volunteered recently, there was this connection I could not deny with Zoey. Bobbi allowed me to foster to adopt to see how well she did with the rest of the family and other dogs. Fortunately, she fits in! Bobbi and Chris are great. They quickly respond to any questions or concerns. You can tell they really care about their rescue dogs and only want them to be in a home that fits their needs and well being.
We adopted our little sweet Gracie from Yorkie Rescue Houston. They took such good care of our little princess. They were easy to get ahold of and kept us up to date on everything we needed to do in order to get Gracie to be able to come home with us. We couldn't be any happier! She is such an amazing little princess! She fits right in with our family that she is now part of. We love that they made sure we were right for her and didn't just give her to anybody. We will definitely be adopting through Yorkie Rescue Houston again so we can have another family member for her to play with.
I adopted two of the most amazing fur kids. The love they put in every fur kid they take it is amazing. Forever grateful!
Best rescue in Houston! I personally have adopted four rescue doggies from this rescue! They’re loved and medical treatment is given when Bobbi get them them! I won’t adopt a dog from anyone but this rescue! ❤️❤️
I had a wonderful adoption through YRH. My only regret is I didn’t find my sweet Romeo (BearBear) sooner (no fault of YRH of course ). I recommend this rescue to anyone looking to adopt a Yorkie.
I lost my yorkie in the last few years. I joined Yorkie Rescue Houston shortly after that. While I haven't adopted a yorkie yet, I see the hard work that Bobbie continues to put in to keep finding homes that FIT for these small fur babies. She works tirelessly so each will have a home and Houston is very lucky to have her. When we are able, I will adopt from her rescue!
About a year ago we adopted a rescue dog, Lucy, a Yorkie Schnauzer mix, from Yorkie Rescue Houston, and the experience has been wonderful. The team was incredibly supportive throughout the process, making sure Lucy found the perfect home. Their dedication to rescuing and caring for these dogs truly shines through. Lucy has brought so much joy into our lives, and we are forever grateful for the love and care Yorkie Rescue Houston provided her before she became part of our family. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to adopt! Ms. Lucy is doing very well in her new home

What a great organization. I have adopted two dogs through YRH, and fostered a handful of others. Strongly recommend this group, as they consistently put the needs of these animals first. Very well-run non-profit.
This rescue truly cares about the wellbeing of the dogs not only providing health and shelter through foster but also by verifying the adopters to make sure is the right home for the dogs and that they are always safe.

Ms Bobbie is the absolute best. She strives to give her rescues the best possible homes. She’s a tough cookie and will not budge on her integrity. These babies of hers come from horrific situations of abuse and neglect and they deserve only the most worthy forever families. She is a blessing and I just love her dearly for what she does. She is always looking for worthy fosters. If you have lost a pet and just aren’t ready to commit, fostering will fill that hole in your heart. I know it helped me fill mine.
Our first yorkie we adopted from Yorkie Rescue Houston passed away on August 18, 2023. My heart broke into a million pieces. Pepper stole my heart from the very first time we met. I love him still so very much. When he passed away, he took the biggest piece of my heart with him. We eventually adopted Hatch and Izzie not long after Pepper passed away from Yorkie Rescue Houston as well. Izzie's mom had passed away and he was needing a new home. Together, Izzie and I helped each others hearts heal. Even though my heart is still broken from Pepper, Izzie and Hatch helped patch it up. I am so very grateful to Yorkie Rescue Houston for all the hard work, dedication and love they put into every dog that comes into their Rescue. They are miracle workers. I am forever in their debt for gifting me three little boys to love.

We lost our little fur baby a year and a half ago. Finally, after a year of her absence, I decided to get on the Yorkie Rescue list. After waiting several months and making sure the circumstances were right, I applied to adopt Ginger. We were overjoyed when we were selected. I went and picked her up the day after our electricity came on after Beryl tore through Houston. Ginger has brought so much joy to our hearts and home. She is crazy, and she is funny, and she is the sweetest little puppy ever. We are in love with her. We can’t say thank you enough about BOBBI BELL for all that she does for the Yorkie Rescue Houston. She is amazing and wonderful and kind. Thank you for taking such good care and being selective about where the fur babies go to live. We are ever so grateful that we were chosen to bring Ginger home with us. We love her so very much!
Love,

I can’t begin to explain how much this organization blessed me and my dog’s life. She responded immediately to my message when I asked for emergency care for my sweet boy that was attacked in his own backyard! She has done all the things for him that I haven’t been able to do and wish I could afford to do. I am so glad he is in good hands and will go to the perfect home! That’s all a mom wants is the best for her kids and he is getting the best care with Bobbi!!!
Yorkie Rescue stepped up when we needed their help. There was a 5 week old kitten on the euthanasia list at our local shelter and we didn't have privileges to pull her. They emailed the shelter and put a hold on her with just 2 hours to spare. She is now safe and on her way to wonderful life with a wonderful foster.
This rescue group is so good in fostering and screening the applicants thoroughly so the yorkies end up in a safe home that’s also a perfect match for both, the Yorkie and the adopters. It’s also so well organized and the communication between the members is clear and open.
I have been associated with Yorkie Rescue Houston since 2018 and have adopted two doggies from them. Bobbi Bell, founder and director, always puts the dogs first. ALWAYS. Every dog that comes in receives full and excellent vet care. She takes great care in screening potential fosters and adopters to make the best possible match of home and dog. There is no one person or organization that I know of who does more to ensure the successful adoption of every dog into its forever home.
Can't say enough about this wonderful rescue, the love, care and devotion that goes into saving, healing these little lost souls gives me faith in humanity. Everything is about the dogs best interest, all involved are truly angels on earth.
This rescue helped me find my two precious pups! The application was thorough and they make sure to match the fur babies in the best homes possible. I would definitely recommend adopting/fostering from this rescue. They truly care about every single pup.
Bobbi and this rescue team do great work!! They ensure pups are well cared for and receive all of the medical attention they need. Then, they are matched with their perfect family. Thankful for YRH!!
I transported a yorkie from San Antonio ACS whose injuries and diagnosis was fatal. YRH and its team of Angels provided the little Angel all the surgical procedures and provide the best Treatments,
and loving care to save his life. I am so grateful for their mission, love, and support to furbabies. Please support them so they can continue doing God's work.
I first started following Yorkie Rescue Houston after seeing a dog in need at a shelter that they tagged for rescue. I ended up filling out a transport application and had the privilege of picking up a couple different dogs at area shelters to transport to their Vet. After becoming more knowledgeable about the great work they were doing saving little dogs in need of a better forever, I filled out a foster application and began fostering a little girl named Bunny who we ended up adopting. The work that Yorkie Rescue Houston does, not only in the Houston area but outside of Houston to take in found strays, owner surrenders and dogs who find their way to shelters is remarkable. Every dog is fully vetted and loved and nurtured in a foster home until their perfect forever family is found. These babies go to live their happily ever after once they have truly learned how to love and be loved.
I adopted my little Bisbee from this rescue and she gave me so much happiness. Bobbi goes above and beyond to rescue these poor babies in need. Every time I can, I send them donations or referrals, if you want to add a new furry family member, this is the place to go.
Both myself and my parents have adopted dogs from the Yorkie Rescue Houston and they have both turned out to be the sweetest dogs ever. I applied for Bodhi after seeing they had taken him in from another shelter. They were very responsive and agreed to meet us outside of the normal meet and greet days because we were out of town. They ensure the dog are healthy and that you have all the necessary information to care for them before taking them home. Bodhi is the sweetest dog you will ever meet and going forward I cant imagine adopting a dog that isn't a rescue. It can be competitive but that is because they only adopt dogs to the owners they think are best fit which you cannot be upset about. Highly recommend.
We adopted our very dear senior girl "Queenie" from YRH on Dec 23rd 2022. We couldn't be happier! YRH is a very nicely run Yorkie Rescue and we so appreciate Bobbi and her foster team for their selfless service. No matter the age of the rescue dog, Bobbie does not hesitate to get all the ailments looked at and treated before the adoption. I would have thought that if someone wanted to adopt a rescue with known medical conditions the rescue will get the adoption done and have the adopter take care of the medical issues but instead YRH and Bobbie offer a Foster to Adopt program where the Rescue pays for the treatment while the adopter fosters the dog and once the dog is cleared the foster adopts the dog. This is truly commendable and absolutely priceless! Speaks volumes about YRH's commitment to rescuing these precious babies in need.
We “fostered to adopt” our first dog from YRH this May 2023. Working with Bobbi has been a delight. She cares about her doggies and makes sure everything is in line. She truly cares about every dog that comes to her for help.
Thank goodness for Bobbi and her rescue. She has a heart of gold and keeps the dogs best interest in her heart. We adopted Milo and we are in love with this boy of ours. He still has a long way to go with his mental health but we love him anyway.
We cannot say enough good things about YRH! From the moment we were referred to their site, we knew we found the right rescue. After submitting our application, we were able to request a meet and greet with a little pup that caught our attention for the upcoming weekend. YRH provided excellent communication and expectations. When we arrived at the meet and greet, Bobbi welcomed us, and let us spend time with our potential pup. It was love at first sight. From there, we took home our pup with a foster to adopt agreement. YRH was quick to reply to my emails and most importantly genuinely looks out for these sweet babies who need a good home/ better life. Would highly recommend working with YRH!
My life is so much better with my little rescues from Yorkie Rescue Houston! There is no place I would rather be than with my girls! I am the one that has been rescued!
The Yorkie Rescue Houston They do such a wonderful job taking in littles, getting them all the help they need, getting them to a foster and then a furever home.
We always need more volunteers, fosters and adopters!
Got two babies from YRH and loved the entire experience. Blessed with two sisters that were healthy and thriving. Thank you Bobbi and your team. Love my girls Mookie and Mia. They love going to the lake too
I have fostered with this group for about five years. Their intake procedure always includes exam, vaccines, and treatment. They also screen foster and adoptive applicants to assure that the dogs are well cared for both during their stay with us and after they are adopted ( to hopefully prevent their being returned to rescue). A favorite phrase is, "it's all about the dog!" I feel this rescue group goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs have a healthy and happy life ahead of them. I am posting my two current foster dogs.

We got our Jazz from Yorkie Rescue Houston and she has been such a blessing to our family! Even though she is a senior lady, she still plays ball like a puppy! Thank you Yorkie Rescue Houston very much!
Love this rescue! Bobbi truly cares for each baby she finds. They’re all well loved. She gets medical panels done asap every animal she brings in. I have adopted four Yorkies from her over the years. I just recently lost an much older do but when my heart heals, I will adopt another. She is the best!
I have adopted two dogs from this rescue and couldn't ask for a better experience. They LOVE these dogs. They personally and emotionally invest in them. There is total dedication in the dogs' health and happiness and they do the work to assure these animals, who have had a rough time, land in the right place with the right families. When I find myself in the heartbreaking situation to adopt again, bet I will fly back to Houston for my next best friend.
We have adopted 2 dogs from Yorkie Rescue, best experience we have ever had! We love our fur babies to the moon and back, Mikey and Lacey ❤️ and they absolutely love each other!
Yorkie Houston Rescue works hard to rescue, foster & get fur babies adopted. They have all dogs vetted prior to adoption & strive to find the perfect home for each rescue. Bobbi & all the fosters are wonderful and truly have a passion for Yorkies.... getting them well & finding the perfect adopters. I received my call on Friday night that I was approved to adopt Marty2 ( now Rowdy) & I could pick him up the next day. When I met Rowdy for the 1st time, he was scared of everyone. Poor little guy did not have a good start in his 1st home. I cried tears of joy when I first met him. He was ours now and going to his furever home... safe and oh so loved.❤️
Please look at Yorkie Rescue Houston's available rescues & remember to adopt, not shop!! Rescues ARE our favorite breed!! Pictures of Rowdy enjoying his new furever home!!
Our experience with Yorkie Rescue Houston has been a very wonderful and positive experience.
We are a very small rural holding pen in Groveton Texas. The animal control picked up a little female Yorkie in terrible shape. I posted Sheena on Facebook and sent private messages to rescues. Yorkie Rescue Houston responded almost immediately wanting to help Sheena. They offered to met the animal control officer to pick up Sheena. They immediately started giving her the care she needed. They got her to the vet immediately.
With the personal care that Bobbi Bell Has given to Sheena and the vet care, Sheena made it through a couple of days and nights that were touch and go. Sheena is still improving. Praying she continues to improve with Bobbi’s care and love. Bobbi has been great to include us with any updates on Sheena’s progress. I would highly reccommend Yorkie Rescue Houston.
Five and a half years ago I started volunteering with Yorkie Rescue Houston as a tribute to my two Yorkies that had passed away. I considered my Yorkies rescued even though they didn’t come from a rescue group or shelter. I adopted them from families that no longer wanted them.
When the second one passed away I started searching for a Yorkie rescue group to volunteer with and found Yorkie Rescue Houston. The director is dedicated and passionate about taking in the little dogs that need it the most. Each little dog is vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped,
groomed, and has any and all health issues tended to while sparing no funds. When ready for adoption applicants are screened to find the very best possible home for each dog. The adoption fee charged never is enough to cover all the money spent to prepare a dog for adoption.
This was the first rescue I had ever adopted from and my experience was fantastic. I really couldn’t say who rescued who. My sweet baby girl is loved and spoiled by our family and she brings so much joy into our lives. The selflessness of the team that works this rescue just has me in absolute awe. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do ❤️
For some MAD reason we thought a Yorkie would make a good addition to our Mini Black Lab & Mini Australian Shepard. After finding YRH they introduced us to ROXY on October 28th. We fell in love immediately. Since then ROXY has flown to Florida, to visit and watch a sailing regatta; then to Tennessee for hiking and biking in The Great Smoky Mountains. Then we had a great drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. She has been a wonderful, charming companion. She happens to be a Tasmanian (Australian) Terrier rather than a Yorkie - absolutely wonderful little girl.
I'm so grateful that Bobbi brought my Bailey and me together 2 years ago. He was known as Melrose Park Charlie. He was found tied to a chain link fence near Animal Control during the heat of summer, temps over 100 degrees. Skin and bones, no food or water. He's a very happy boy now with a brother and 2 sisters. Why someone dumped him is beyond me! But the careful vetting and generous heart that Bobbi is known for is what caused me to peruse her available dogs. I'm glad I did! I can't imagine my pack without this little kissy faced boy. Thank you dear Bobbi!
YRH connected me with my fur baby. The information provided on the website and on Facebook was informative and thorough. When I had my phone interview, Bobbi was so kind and friendly. The meet and greet was awesome and went seamlessly. It was truly love at first sight. I’m grateful for YRH and all of the amazing work they do. If you want to adopt from a reputable, professional, and passionate organization YRH is the perfect choice.
We had lost our pup, Astro, and I was not ready for a new pup yet. I had been following YRH for a while and saw a story about a litter of 10 born to a dog YRH had rescued pregnant from the shelters. The 10th puppy (Trinket) was born blind and was not doing well. YRH worked round the clock to try and save Trinket —every 2 hr feedings, therapy, etc. Just when Trinket was doing better, he had a seizure and passed away. I was beyond moved by the care given to Trinket by YRH to give him the best quality of life while he was here. One of the other pups in the litter was named Astro and I knew that was my sign the time was right for us to adopt again. Meet Astro, renamed by us, Romeo, who makes our family complete.
After following YRH’s page for quite some time, it was clear this was a reputable rescue. In Aug 2019 we applied for MATT. YRH made sure we were the right fit. I recall a telephone interview with Bobbi, and then again with Matt’s foster, Evelyn. Both were very informative and transparent of Matt’s past and current medical needs. Not all rescues disclose everything like this, but YRH did. This made it easy to move forward with the adoption knowing exactly what Matt’s future needs would be and ensuring we were qualified and ready to take them on. The adoption process was seamless and before we knew it, Matt was part of our family! Even after 2+ years I can always reach back out to YRH and ask for additional documents for Matt if I have misplaced them - such an amazing group of volunteers!
Yorkie Rescue Houston does amazing work. I have followed them for a few years now. I adopted my Romeo from them last year when no one else wanted him. He only had one eye and was the sweetest boy ever. This group is wonderful for what they do!
In February 2020 I was looking through Yorkie Rescue Houston’s dogs that were looking for their fur-ever homes. So many sweet babies but one touched me deeply. Long story short My sweet Mason would finally be come home (to me). I met Bobbie Bell (owner of YRH) and Masons foster mom Christine both wonderful women. This rescue is a very loving, devoted group. They care deeply for these sweet pups and search for wonderful loving fur-parents. Thank you for my beautiful baby Mason.
