It saddens me to tell you that it is not always the case.
The other thing rescue fees do is support the entire concept....rescues have to get money to care for the sicker yorkies. That is why the fees for the younger, healthier ones are always more. And, trust me, it takes a lot more than adoption fees to care for some of the issues we get!

I totally agree with you 100%, yorkies are not cheap to care for, I have 4 of them.. And when I took in rescues for the first time ever.. I would not pay the high fees asked for yorkies..but that had more them most.
Like it is.. many many pay the bigger prices for yorkies and do not spend the money on their needs.. so I guess I agree with you but did want to say it goes both ways..I have seen this over the years.. and I am not young chicken at all.. so years of seeing both sides has not made me bitter towards people..
