Hi,
After pet sitting a friend's Yorkie, I fell in love and decided I want a Yorkie of my own. Initially, I was looking into saving money to buy a Yorkie from a breeder but after watching a video on there are so many stray dogs I am looking into adopting instead.

I browsed through shelters and rescues online and finally found a cute male Yorkie that is 8 years old. The problem is the adoption fee is $450!! That is so expensive. I know buying from a breeder would be more but it would be a puppy. Why is it so expensive? I wish shelters and rescues could maybe lower the price.

If you know of any rescues or shelters with reasonable adoption fees by Orange County, CA please let me know
