I know a rescue group here (for all dogs and cats) has a limited number that they can handle at one time and once their volunteers homes are full then the rescue is full. Honestly, and if you look on petfinder or on rescue's websites you'll see that most of the yorkies are larger than standard. I think there are probably a lot more larger yorkies out there in need than tiny ones...I've just always noticed that most yorkies in rescue are on the larger side. I just don't know if there would even be that many yorkies under 5lbs that would need rescuing. Anyway, that's just from what I've personally seen anyway...I may be wrong. I do think this is a great thought that needs a lot of careful consideration before anything is set in motion. Good Luck with what you decide to do |
Good posting...and the reason I think you find mostly bigger yorkies that need homes is because people getting them and are told they won't get over a certain weight, and them wham the throwbacks come out, and out goes the dog...makes me sick to see them done like this..Everytime I look at my haley(all 14 lbs of her), she is one of the prettiest yorkies I have ever seen, and I couldn't imagine someone turning her away because she's bigger..
