Jumping into fostering just because you want a pet is not something I suggest to people; especially those who are concerned about possible medical issues.
Rescues all need foster homes, but not those who are sampling. Just my opinion.
If your wife is already concerned about medical issues and she ends up with a bad experience with a foster, it could ruin her for rescue altogether.
Fostering is a heavy responsibility and rarely without issues. Most of the pups ending up in rescue need attention, whether it be medical or emotional. Most DO get better, but it takes time.
There are many people on YT who have adopted yorkies and love them to little pieces. There are so many absolutely wonderful yorkies in need of a good home.
All of my pets are rescues and each one is wonderful. Some do have issues, some do not; but the ones who do were my choice! When adopting a rescue, you do have choices if you go to a reputable rescue.
