Well I kind of get where the rescues are coming from vs a vs outside dogs, and out of state adoptions.

First Yorkies are NOT outside dogs but sure go for a walk, a hike, camp etc but please don't make them live outdoors, and if you have a live in daughter who is allergic to dogs why get another dog? Surely 2x dogs would equal 2x allergic response. My sis n neice came for a visit, knew I had a cat, both were allergic. Well 3hrs later and this was summertime and we were doing a BBQ outside they were weeping and so stuffed up. Thankfully I had prepared with some motels in the area. They went there. recovered and we had a great weekend together outside of our home.

Out of state adoptions: Likely the rescue does not have the resources to check out your home situation, and that is a big drawback.
