Thank you for sharing this.

I rescued a Yorkie in 1993. I almost did not take her because she stunk so bad and obviously had not been well cared for. I knew if I did not take her, that this woman may put her to sleep or something. So, the soft hearted person that I am, I took her and never had any regrets either.

This woman, was a backyard breeder. And had also over bred this sweet yorkie.

I brought her home and she was bathed, groomed immediately. This little girl was so loved and wanted by us. I gave her the best that I could for the few years she was with us. She died suddenly in her sleep, 2 years later. It broke my heart so much when she passed away. I could not even bring myself to think about having another dog.... until this year. Now, I have two precious little puppies.... one we bought in January.... a pomeranian. And my newest puppy is our sweet little yorkie puppy. I am so happy to have both of my little "babies". They are very much loved and spoiled.

I highly recommend rescueing. It is very fulfilling to give our little fur babies the love and care they never had before. I have rescued all of my kitties. And they also are very spoiled and very loved. My vet is always asking if I would take on more or know of anyone to atleast foster or give a forever home.
