major vet bills are paid by the rescue with permission...but many fosters stay with us for many months...I've seen many hundreds of dollars go to help a poor yorkie that has been abused or is ill or injured 
most "adopters" just skip over these guys and want the puppies that will be under 5 lbs....

And, the sad part is that you are far better adopting an older Yorkie then a puppy. 1. You know what she looks like and her size - as pups you can never tell until they mature. 2. You know their temperment. As pups they can be sweet and love other dogs and as adults they can become alpha and have issues. I think my Jersey is a good example of this. We got Jersey at 10 weeks and now at 17 months I have to rehome her due to dog aggression. People are far better off adoptiong a young adult then a puppy.
