The ones that have been turned into shelters or private groups have already been "rescued". Do you mean the ones that are not adopted?
Private breed rescues take them in for life. Sometimes very old or ill dogs can't be adopted out and are often adopted by their foster parents or just remain with them unofficially.
Yorkies who are turned into no kill shelters stay there until they find their new home. If a Yorkie ends up in a kill shelter, they can be euthanized after a period of time. Fortunately, many private rescue groups have already arranged with local shelters to be called when a Yorkie is turned in and they make arrangements to "pull" the dog and put in their care.
