Not all rescue pups come with issues, either. Scarlett, her mom and littermates, were surrendered due to the flooding in TN. Oliver was picked up by the rescue he came from because he was too small to survive being shipped off to a pet store- so the rescue drove 10 hours to bring him back to Atlanta to keep him from being put down.
It just comes down to the fact that there really is zero reason for supporting a BYB when you are looking for either a purebred or a mix. |
All 3 of mine are some form of a rescue or rehome. Pebbles was 5 months old and a rehome, Bogey was around a year from a shelter and Doodlebug was just 4 weeks old when I was approved for his rescue. Bogey and Doodlebug are both Yorkie/Maltese *Morkies. If you really look and take your time there are puppies that can be found in rescues.
Knowing and seeing all of the mixed and pure bred yorkies and yorkie mixes in shelters and rescues. BYBers and pet stores should never be supported for the purchase of a puppy.
