I beleive the difference is how you came to own your Yorkie/pet.

For example if you search on line the deference is in the type of words you use has a lot to do with what type of web site you will get. When you search for 'Yorkies for Adoption' rather than 'Yorkies for Sale' you get a variety of difference web sites.

Yorkies for Adoption to me would typically mean to rehome a previously owned Yorkies from a rescue.

Yorkies for Sale to me would mean to purchase a Yorkies from wherever as a puppy.

Either of which is still taking responsibility to care for and to provide a loving, healthy home for them as if they were part of the family and not as your proberty. Although the law says otherwise.
