Try Yorkie Haven Rescue

First with an older dog that has been rescued, they will be fully vet checked, and health problems are fixed prior to placement.
By the time a dog is 4 or 5 yrs old many many potential problems Health and temperament wise will have manifested. LP, CT, HD, PRA, bladder/kidney etc.
