Great topic. I just adopted a baby boy about 2 weeks ago from a shelter. My cat is from a shelter as well. After everything I have read about on this website, I just didn't feel right buying a dog from a breeder when so many are in shelters, being pts. And although some people may not realize it..the fact is- there are yorkies in shelters, even puppies. (Some very cute ones at that! Hey, maybe I am just biased but I think Marshall is just as cute as some of the other yorkies I see on here. )

It is hard though.. It is a long-time commitment. I know almost nothing about his past so he could have a great deal of health problems in the future. In fact, Marshall has an upper respiratory infection and gave it to my other dog, Jimi when I brought him home.

In the long run though, I think it is worth it. Every time I look at Marshall I just have to smile because I feel like I saved him. I gave him a great home.. Who knows what could have happened to him?
