| I went and looked at this shelter and there are even more yorkies there than the OPer listed. Probably 6 or 7 total! Every single one is adorable.

| No worries about the Yorkies. They are all young, and a highly sought after adoptable breed here in South FL. Adoption events are held almost every Sunday at Petsmart stores throughout South Florida. We also post them throughout the area to all rescue groups, so they have a 100% chance of adoption. I can't say that for many of the other dogs there. The kill rate is extremely high at this shelter. Each year, the shelter impounds more than 34,000 pets. December of 2008 was a record breaking month for adoptions which totaled 700 pets. Now you do the math on that one. Anywhere from 100 to 150 pets are euthanized DAILY.

It makes me sick to think how people like the American Sporting Dog Alliance tried to spin the story of Oprah's puppies catching parvo, blaming the PAWS shelter for Ivan contracting Parvo. Some of the things that I read from them made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end!

Those numbers make me sick. It is so hard to understand why this society has allowed dog breeding at puppy mills to get so out of control

| I agree! Yorkshire terrier's are a sought after breed and will find homes in no time! I saw a yorkshire terrier at my local humane society and he was a older and on the larger side and he was gone before he was even there for a week. So, I am sure that they are fine! Take Care! Keep Us Updated Florida members! Praying for great forever homes for a fur friends!

| I'm on my way to Florida on Monday to visit my parents. Its been 6 months since Toby passed. I think I might have to drag my folks down there and maybe rescue one. Does anyone know if they are still there? |
