Please listen to everyone advice. DO NOT TAKE HIM TO THE POUND!!!

#1 - They do and probably will PTS
#2 - He may get adopted to some moron that doesn't know a thing about him and his issues - And they may wind up Hitting Him or Abusing Him. They could also just decide to 'drop' him off somewhere and then he would be 'homeless' or they could just drop him off at another pound and then he'd be PTS or this vicious cycle could repeat!

He is an innocent, helpless soul - Please try to do what's best for him.

Is he neutered? If not, this is probably a main reason for alot of his issues. If he gets neutered that's the BEST possible outcome for him.

Please contact as may Yorkie Rescues as possible until one of them takes him in.

If that doesn't work. Please try to surrender him to someone on YT.
You need to explain to 'whole' situation and you really need to screen who will take him. He probably needs to be an 'only' dog and the new owners need to be willing to work with him. And I would not give him for 'Free' - You could collect some sort of 'adoption fee' and you could either donate that fee to a rescue or you could say that after a year or so, you will 'refund' that fee, after you see how he works out in that new family. But, PLEASE - DO NOT DROP HIM OFF AT THE POUND! - That is the WORST - The ABSOLUTE WORST thing you could do for him.

Believe me please - He is NOT a lost cause - He deserves a Chance! Just b/c he has bitten and drawn blood doesn't mean he is an aggressive dog, Yes he has issues, but they are workable, Please be responsible and do what ever it takes to get him that Chance at a Happy Life.
