Welcome to YorkieTalk!
I just wanted to point out to you that not ALL rescue dogs have been mistreated or hurt and very often it is the exact opposite.
Rescue dogs are surrendered for a variety of reasons, the econonomy, a death in the family, a divorce, a new puppy didn't work out, an illness or injury that an owner can not afford, etc.
If you look at YTNR's website today you will see a Yorkie Momma & her three little boys at 7 weeks old were surrendered by their owner due to a divorce. Abuse had nothing to do with their being in a rescue group. My Avatar (under my name) is a picture of the little puppy I am fostering right now and would you like to know why she was surrendered? Because her Momma did not care for the way her adult coat was growing in.
