Los Angeles County Animal Control Shelter occasionally has yorkies. They do not have papers, but you can tell they are pure bred. Does New Jersey have shelters that are run by the county? It is a hit or miss thing here, and it is hard to actually get one. I tried for over a year to rescue a yorkie at the shelter. They spay or neuter the dogs, update all shots and charge 78.00 for any dog. With the economy here in California there are many pure bred dogs people are giving up. Our local shelter does not let rescues take dogs unless no one expresses interest in them. The shelter also gives you a voucher for a free visit to a local vet to check the dogs health more closely.
It is a nice way for people to get a dog without spending thousands. The gamble is there for unseen health or behavior issues. They will let you return the dog within 30 days if things don't work out and you have 90 days to find a replacement. |
