Many a Yorkie could not/have not survived in a pound or shelter situation.

•Only 38% of all dogs and cats will remain in their first home for their entire lives.
•Nationally, over 50% of all adopted animals are no longer in their adoptive home after just the first year.
Wow thats sad! I didnt realize the numbers were that high.
