Yes!! Kaira is not purebred yorkie. She is half chihuahua. But she was found as a stray running the streets in oakland california and wound up on the death list. Down there they have way too many tiny dogs, and they give them only a couple of days to get adopted before they put them down, no matter how sweet they are.
A local shelter takes in these dogs. Up here, we have too few tiny dogs, not enough for all the homes who want them. So they put them on a plane and they find homes up here in Idaho.
Kaira was lucky and she was brought up here. I got her as a service dog prospect- she's finished training now and is a full on service dog for my autism. She's sweet, gentle, and all around a great dog.
So yes! Rescue is a great way to go.
