I went through what you are going through for over a year and just got so sick and tired of not finding my small dog that finally I gave up and called my last Yorkie's breeder out of sheer desperation. I went to see some Yorkie pups she'd been given to rehome but wound up coming home with a 9 mo. old Tibbe. He was almost feral as he'd been in a cage for 9 mos. and he'd come along with the pups, their mother and another female, to the breeder to find homes for. It can be so heartbreaking to try to find a little dog going the rescue route and some expect you to take whatever they suggest for you or you lose place with them. I turned down a Chinese Crested with one rescue and they never emailed or called again. But eventually I got my Yorkie baby and in time with training, he turned into a wonderful pet! The Best! Try not to lose heart and keep searching. When you do find your baby, all is good. But boy, it is sad always coming home dogless. Every single dog I signed up for at the dog shelter I was #2 - after a rescue organization! I would go up the morning of claiming with my carrier, water, leash, toy and hope and come home so sad, as the rescue lady walked out with the dog I wanted so. It gets really old. I can understand what you are going through.
