My biggest concern is that animal control takes the dog and puts her to sleep, because she is so badly neglected. We live in a very tiny town, and animal control is always taking dogs , stray ones running around the streets. Once having the animal , it is like a death sentence.

  You haven't called them 
yet?!?!   
In my opinion, you are not the best judge of this poor little baby's actual medical condition and if the little thing is that bad off, wouldn't you rather she be vet checked, given some pain medication and be euthanized than starve miserably to death there as her little organs fail her one by one, with people who could care less?  Any Animal Control vet worth his or her salt will fight to save a Yorkshire Terrier who has a chance of survival as their chances of rehoming are so great.  On the other hand if that little baby is going to suffer to death, a humane vet will choose to let her die under as painless conditions as possible.  I can't think any animal control officer or vet could care any less about her than that owner, if the picture you have drawn of her is correct!  Call Animal Control and let the professionals have a chance to save her as this woman may feed her for a month and forget her again should she manage somehow to live on.
