Kevin

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All dogs listed here are available for adoption from Yorkie Rescue Houston.  Our goal is to ensure our rescued pets go to their forever home and never end up back in the system.  To that end, an application is required on all potential adopters.   Our adoption fee varies by dog.  We accept electronic funds via VENMO or Zelle, or cash only. donate@yorkierescuehouston.org or, if you prefer: our fundraising platform, Zeffy Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered are available for Foster-to-Adopt only.  A FTA contract is required.   HW+This sweet boy’s story is heartbreaking. Kevin was being surrendered to BARC when we happened to be there picking up Luna. He sat in the back of a pickup truck, confined in a wire crate under the blazing 90° Texas sun. BARC had already reached their daily limit for owner surrenders and it wasn’t even noon yet so they had to turn him away. We couldn’t walk away from him. We told his owners to wait across the street and, as soon as we finished with Luna, we met them there and brought Kevin to safety. Kevin is completely shut down right now. He’s so frightened.  Every trip outside is spent scanning for escape routes. It’s clear he’s never known love, a gentle touch, or kindness. He’s lived his whole life just roaming, surviving, and avoiding danger. He’s learning, slowly, that he’s safe now. That human hands can comfort instead of hurt. And, not surprisingly, he tested heartworm positive, a direct result of long-term neglect. We will help Kevin heal, inside and out. We’ll teach him what love feels like, and show him that he never has to face the world alone again.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 9:08 am
