I adopted a fantastic 2.5 yo AKC yorkie, a gift from my vet, he was a surrender. I must be one in a thousand that knows the history of my rescue as I keep in contact with the previous owner and I have all his medical and AKC papers that was turned over when he was surrendered . He is 99.9% a perfect boy, the 1% he is not dog friendly lol. Adopting is a crap shoot as far as temperament, personality, trainable. It takes time, devotion, consistency and a lot of patience, but so well worth the work you put into it. Ask your vet about rescues, shelters. Your vet may even work with rescue teams as my vet does, that is how I got my boy, from the rescue team that she works with. Craigs list I would def. stay away from.
