There are some red flags here:

- While it is not unheard of, it is controversial to "rescue" dogs from auctions.

- I am surprised that you were approved so fast. Have you even spoken to them on the phone? Most rescues have long waiting lists, especially for a young female yorkie, and usually a rescue will put you through the wringer to make sure you're a good fit.

- They seem to be pressuring you to make a fast decision. This is often a sales tactic.

Can you give the name of the rescue? Maybe we can check it out for you.
The name of the rescue is Safe Haven Rescue in New Middletown, OH. I have talked to someone on the phone but only after I left a message and they called me back.
