Small yorkies do in fact come thru shelters and rescues. In my few years of volunteering I have had two smaller than average. Scrappy was almost 4 lbs and came in as a stray in a San Diego shelter. Lily was an owner surrender and was also almost 4 lbs.
Now I have Toto who is "bigger" at 6 lbs, also an owner surrender, who has long silky hair, big round eyes (I call them Spongebob eyes) and perfectly healthy. His muzzle looks shorter than Uni's but when measured, they are exactly the same. It's the eye socket positioning that makes all the difference.
