i also adopted a yorkie with the worst teeth issues. our dog had 2 rows of teeth and had one row removed before we adopted him. our vet told us that dental issues are big in this breed, especially if they are poorly bred. we were told all of his teeth would fall out over a period of time (and they have). our vet bill to have his teeth cleaned an checked isn't all that bad (he only has 6 teeth left). if you explain things to your local shelter they can direct you to people that can help with costs (i.e. clinics, vets that are willing to cut cost for adopted pets, etc.) snickers had a bit of trouble with crunchy foods depending on the size, but all in all he is a very healthy boy. no teeth doesn't stop him from trying to steal the linguica dogs! he grabbed one and hid under the deck, there are some very large spiders under there. ( he didn't eat the linguica because he cant bite it but it was funny to watch him. its the first time hes ever been food aggressive.) good luck with your new friend and other than the horrendously stinky good morning kisses i am positive you've made your friend feel very comforted in the fact that her baby is going to a wonderful home. you are a beautiful soul for giving a good home to someone else's beloved. all the good you give may you receive
