My point was, like you said, if the OP has such stringent requirements, it is unlikely that they will find their perfect dog in a rescue. Most Yorkies in rescues ARE older (as in not puppies), and larger in size. That is simply a fact, and there is nothing wrong with that. If that's not what an owner wants, they need to be aware that a rescue is perhaps not the best place to look. |
I am also in rescue and am not offended. I just don't want people to think there is not potential. You are right that they normally come to rescue pretty beat up...it is tragic what happens to some of them. People obtain them for all the wrong reasons and fail to care for them properly as you well know. Such a throwaway society we live in.
