I don't think this is usually an issue.
Gppd breeders keep their pups until the perfect homes are found.
If the pup is off standard, the price may be reduced and it will be placed in a home as pet only. If it can't be placed, it stays with the breeder until it can.

The problem with donating a Yorkie is that the breeder may not be able to screen the receiver of the pup and if the receiver couldn't save up for a Yorkie, how are they going to save up for vet bills? Taking care of a dog costs about $1000 a year average without any major illnesses. If they can't save up $1000 to buy a pup, how can they save up to take care of it?

I haven't heard of Yorkie pups being donated to anyone...
