| Hi! New to Yorkie Talk! Hi! I don't own a Yorkie but have been looking for one to adopt. I am horrified every time I hear of another breeding mill be raided and these beautiful dogs being abused. I would love to give one of these puppies a home. I wish there were a way for some of these babies to be given to foster homes or shelters here. There are so many of us in western NY looking for Yorkies. Whenever a Yorkie is available they are quickly adopted. These wonderful pups are so hard to find here. |

| Good luck in your search. Be patient and the right one will find you! Does your local shelter have a waiting list by any chance? That would be a great way to ensure one of the babies a good home. |

| waiting list I don't know if they have a waiting list. I will have to check. There are many pitbull mixes and large breeds here for adoption. So many people let their animals breed and are not responsible. Or they put their dogs up for adoption because they don't understand that these babies are part of the family. It's like putting your child up for adoption because you no longer want the responsibility. It is so sad. Whenever any type of small dog is available for adoption, they go very quickly. |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Welcome to Yorkie Talk! Welcome to Yorkie talk! Good luck in your search. When I bought my boy 4 years ago it was from a lady who had a boy and girl and she just bred them both. I met mom and dad and actually my boys little bro. She really wasn't a breeder just someone who bred her 2 dogs. I found my best friend and the little love of my life.. Good Luck!! |

| checked the shelter policy Thanks everyone. I checked the local shelter online. Their policy does not allow you to fill out a request form for a puppy or dog. It's first come, first serve. I am not looking for a show quality pet. The only reason I am looking for a female is because I have a porky neutered Schnoodle. He is my husband's BOY! We call him the little king! I know he would to better with a princess. I am in love with the Yorkies!! |

| Welcome to YT! Have you tried Petfinder? Pet adoption: Want a dog or cat? Adopt a pet on Petfinder - so many yorkies listed on there. Also, some of the breeders on here will sometimes look to rehome one of their girls. Good luck

| petfinder Hi! Yes, I have been to petfinder. Everything is out of state. I have tried all the various rescues and shelters. There have been some breeders in the area. However $1500 is out of the question for me. I think these wonderful pups are worth every penny, I just don't have it to shell out. I have many pets, a handicapped African gray (she has no toes, I raised her from a baby), a cat, bunny, canaries, parakeets, and fish! Some of these were left behind by my children going off to school and marriage. But there is nothing like having a little Yorkie in your lap! So I will keep looking and wait patiently. Thanks! |

as far as pricing, i think generally breeders will charge more, and 'backyard breeders' will charge less. (generally) but make sure you find a healthy puppy there are other places besides petfinder that you can search, have you tried kijiji.com or craigslist? good luck to you!

| Kijiji Yes, I check Kijiji and craigslist daily. I have done my homework and know that these beautiful babies are prone to many things. So I will be careful. I also like the Yorkie poodle mix. Thanks soooo much for caring! Everyone is wonderful on this site. |
