This is the truth.

Also, while there are probably so many good loving homes that could provide a wonderful home, not every home and every dog is a perfect match. What a true reputable rescue does is #1 provide ALL the necessary Vet care, NO matter how expensive it could be, for example, Liver Shunt surgery is about $3000 to $4000. (not all families can afford to do this even if the dog is free). #2 the dogs goes into an experienced foster home where a number of things happen. The dog gets adjusted to family life and the foster family evaluates the dog, by doing this, the dog is guaranteed to be place in the best home that fits HIS NEEDS, a home that will be forever.

This dog was found by a man (Yorkielove1986). Now lets say YOU a good YT member takes this dog from Yorkielove1986 (skipping #1 and #2 above). And after 1 day you have come to realize, that being the boy he is, he starts to mark ALL of your furniture. Then you come to realize that he is actually afraid of women, every time you start to come close he shows his teeth, or he just hides under your bed and pees there. NOW WHAT????? You realize that You and this Dog are NOT A PERFECT MATCH. Ok, your life goes on, but what happens to the dog now????

So you see, a Reputable Yorkie Rescue (like Kit from Florida Yorkie Rescue) WILL ensure that this dogs FINALLY home is his FOREVER HOME.

I know you care and you are a good person, but I also wanted to point out why Rescue is so important and why it is the BEST thing.

...I am someone that cares too...
I am saying no more on this controversial subject but even it the dog did have problems, it doesn't mean that the OP couldn't himself find the best home for him the same as a rescue. All the OP needed to do was list his qualities and non qualities (such as spraying which could be taken care of if neutered, maybe) and match a member here with him.

Again, the crazies won't come out if you charge for the vet fees.
