Just yesterday, I received emails about FOURTEEN yorkies in shelters in TX. There is still one in need of a foster home in the Houston area and we have to find a spot for him before Thursday, Sept 16 or he will be euthanized.
He is heartworm positive and the shelter he is in does not adopt out sick pups and they don't have the funds to treat.
I tell people all of the time about the problems here with yorkies in shelters.....and I think it just does not register as we have so many people who just keep breeding them. We don't need any more in Texas!!!
It is extremely depressing to see this day in and day out.
If you have a love of the breed and have a good vetting history, please consider fostering. It is so rewarding to save the life of one of these precious pups.
If anyone is interested in fostering, please email YHR at
