Also, what needs to be understood is that the adoption fee paid for a puppy also helps the older dogs that linger in rescue. Believe me a good legitimate rescue does no make money, they lose money. My Lilly is a rescue. I got her at 13 weeks old and paid a $400 adoption fee. I received all her papers and the vetting including a pediatric spay topped $900, yet I only paid a $400 adopt fee. Think about it, if you BUY a Yorkie pup you would be paying atleast $600 and that's figuring very low, then you have to pay for the shots, and the spay / neuter. $300 is a steal.
