My rescue/adopted dog is not a Yorkshire Terrier but a Shih Tzu..
Her name is Kaiah ( previously Lily..) and she is 4 yrs old ( in August ).
We adopted her @ 7 months old. Her owner died . She was passed around to 3 different homes within the family and because she was not yet fully housetrained nobody would keep her.
The poor baby had 3 homes plus the breeders home before she turned 7 months. One of the family members put an ad in the paper which i answered..
I went to see her and it was love at first sight..
All it took was a little love and understanding to get her potty trained and now she will go sit by the door when she needs to go out..
Kaiah is one awesome little dog and we are so lucky to have her in our lives..
