I commend you for your forethought of the inevitable for when your Dad passes and what plans would be set up for his companion. 
It would curl your hair to know how many family members do NOT think twice of dumping the dogs afterwards or worse yet have them put to sleep. 
Also, have you considered another breed that might be more suitable (larger) for your Dad? Yorkie's can be easily tripped over and for your Dad to suffer a broken hip at his age would not be good!
Good luck in your search...  |
He is 87 years old.
I agree with your post (Miabellaamoure) but to the OP most reputable rescues first concern is for the dog and the quality of their life. It would be very hard on a little Yorkie to lose another home and then move into a home for possibly the 4th, 5th time. These little ones so attach themselves to their people. Have you considered letting your father co-own one of your poodles?
Also Yorkies are probably one of the worse breeds for potty issues..
