Well, we did it...yesterday, we picked up little Abby from a wonderful Foster Mom through Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue!
Abby is 3 yrs old and cute as a button with an absolute darling personality and potty trained to boot
A little history about Abby: her first & only owner bought her while she was in college probably hoping for a "pocket" puppy and when Abby outgrew her pink "Barbie Doll" size pet kennel...and hers & her boyfriends attention, she opted to relinquish Abby to YTNR...Thank God!
Abby went to stay with Foster Mom Gail & her family for a few weeks till I fell in love with her picture & bio on yorkierescue.com. If you go to their website, click on "Available Rescues" or the link below and scroll down to...I think the 14th pooch and you'll see Abby's picture!

I'll be taking pic's tomorrow of Bella with Abby and will definitely share
When I think of spending what I did for Bella (gulp...) I wish I had known about "rescue adoptions" first! Of course, I would do it all over again in a heart beat just because of Bella but, if I hadn't found Bella first and had known of this route, you can betcha I would have started here in the first place!
I am very thankful to Abby's first mommy for the common sense to have sought out a rescue group to help her out of a not very well thought out pet ownership and giving me the opportunity to give Abby the forever home she so deserves
I hope my experience will spark someone else to do the same for a Yorkie in need!
