Oh, we had one today that a person was keeping in a crate on her porch .. said she moved from a house to an apartment and that the yorkie had to stay in that crate. No clue why.
Wanted to surrender her because the neighbors cannot stand her barking.
Luckily the pup was still alive and able to bark...the temps are in the 90s now.
The numbers of homeless yorkies and the reasons for it are mind blowing.
