My husband and I rescued our girl (Korra) from Rescue Me Yorkie based in Whiting NJ. We found the rescue because of another pup that they listed. We fell in love with his cute picture, passed the online application, phone interview, and home visit. But, they didn't let us have the pup we had seen online. It was definitely hard hearing that.
However, a couple of weeks later a pup came in that they suspected would be a good fit for our family, they reached out to us first before posting her info online. I am so happy they waited until the right dog came along for us. She was a puppymill breeder, so there were some hurdles to get over, but really she has been the best pup that I could ever ask for and now I know the other little guy really wouldn't have been the right fit for us. He was so terrified of people that it really wouldn't have worked unless we did have another dog.
If you haven't reached out to Rescue Me Yorkie, I would suggest trying. They approve you to adopt from them, rather than just for a specific dog, so if any of their current dogs aren't a good fit, they will let you know when the right one comes along. It's hard to wait, but trust me it's worth it.
