I am not going to address WHY rescues have so many because it takes too much time and I am quite sure most of the people on this thread already know.
So....here you go...please read this link and understand WHY rescues must charge the adoption fees that they do. Rescues NEVER break even with adoption fees....they are left to raise money in other ways. Adopting IS cheaper than buying a yorkie because they are fully vetted including spay/neuter. You also need to realize that anyone who sells a yorkie cheap probably is not breeding healthy yorkies...maybe not always, but more often than not.
Hope this helps you to understand: Yorkie Haven Rescue Adoption Fees | Agreed  Love ya girl!!
