I agree. Your heart is definitely in the right place, and I'm proud of you. However, volunteering with a local rescue organization can give you an insider's view of what it's like. You can also decide what you would do the same or differently. You would also have a reputation built with other local charities and vets. I don't see how you can go wrong if you volunteer for a couple of years first.
In the meantime, you will be in a position to help any yorkies that come in to the rescue you are volunteering for. I believe that a lot of your expenses for volunteering would also be tax-deductible, but check with an accountant to be sure.
Volunteering first is a great idea!
