We all agreed that NONE of our 2009 budget is going to any dog shelter and in fact we have discussed going to a yorkie breeder only because its a complete nightmare dealing with the rescues, who, in my recent experience think they are God in deciding who is 'self serving' or who is capable. We live in a 7,000 square foot house with 4 adults (no one younger than 29). We have one person who is home 99% of the time and we have a very loving giving environment where the animals come first. We just lost our yorkie and thought it would be great to open our home to another one so that there is one less dead dog at the city animal shelter.
However, we learned the opposite... they dont care that they are killing 189,000 dogs per year and that these dogs are in cages until they have a home.
SAD SAD SAD!
I think we need to regulate these rescues. Perhaps Yorkie Club is better? I would hope so, I'll check it out now. Thank you for telling us!

Welcome to YT........I'm not sure why you have such a bad taste for rescues but they do a lot of really wonderful things for dogs. I am not sure what rescue that you have donated to or tried to adopt from since I am not familiar with all of the rescues in your area. I personally have adopted 2 rescues from 2 different organizations and didn't have any problems. There are many people on this site that have adopted as well. Right now there are over 900 yorkies on Petfinder.com all over the country. If you are willing to open your home to a rescue there are other rescues outside of your area that might be more welcoming to you.
