What a wonderful story! It is so sad that they were going to put Bubba down! Welcome to YorkieTalk, Emily! This is such a happy thread!
Great job posting the story and information, as this thread shows, there's a LOT of interest in Yorkie rescues in California, feel free to post any and all Yorkie/Yorkie mix rescues here! Maybe YorkieTalkers can provide forever homes for some more rescues.
