I respect your opinion but a roof over my head, food on my table and an education for my orphaned family member is going to trump my dog any day and I don't apologize for that. Me, the dog and my family member would be out on the street if I went bankrupt paying vet bills. I am exhausting all of my options before giving her up. That is a last resort and not the first thing I automatically went to so I'm definitely not as cold hearted as some may think. And giving her to a rescue IMO is a great idea and will guarantee that she will not be mistreated or put down. If I were really cold I would have just take her to the local animal shelter. I am researching all of my options. Trust me and if in the end I have to give her up, I won't be the first or the last person to have to give up their dog unwillingly because they could no longer afford the care she needs. This to me is a responsible decision.
I do agree with you that if you can not or will not provide the needed medical care, then YES - please go the route of trying to get a Yorkie Rescue to take her in. As that is the best solution for her (if it comes to that point).

I never said you were cold all I said was that I disagree with a statement made about the 6K.
