Amen!
I met a gal about two years ago in a pet boutique. She was there talking about her new puppies she was selling. She was posting a sign. She and I both knew the owner of the shop and I just kept my mouth shut.
Anyway....long story short...she lost one of her male yorkies a couple of months ago and has been searching for him.
She wrote to me and sent his flyer....and about two weeks ago she contacted me again...this time wanting to donate to rescue. I gave her my telephone number and what a conversation we had. She told me that after looking so hard for her beloved yorkie and seeing all of the homeless yorkies in rescue and also the people calling her who had found a stray, she has decided never to breed again. She really had no idea of the scope of the problem.
