I have a good customer that comes in all the time. She is elderly and her husband passed away last year, and the yorkie was mostly her DH's dog, so the sight of the little baby was too much for her. She told me she was looking for a new home for him but was too distraught to really look for a good family. i asked her how much she was asking for him, and she said nothing, just to a good home.

I offered to foster him until I found a family for him since I am familiar with lots of families in this area. We had him for about a month until we found a family with two daughters who were on summer break from college, perfect time for him to get acquainted with them and he would be the only dog. They love him, and he is the "king of the block" now!

So getting a free yorkie is not that uncommon, if you get them as adults. But as pups i would think there is much more risk involved.

Maybe we haven't heard back from OP yet b/c she is still out at the people home? Hope everything is ok!
