After millions of hours searching I found this amazing site: backpage.com
It has every major metropolitan area that may be located near you and the classifieds! So you can search for a yorkie.. and when I did I found a lady in Washington who needs an adoptive mother (ME?!) to take care of her girl. Gladly! So, go check there and you may find a great suprise waiting for you!

I know you were looking for your baby as of today by reading your other thread in the wanted section , so does this mean that you got your yorkie?
if it does Congrats! if not , I'll say as the other posters be careful , I personally do not like this site you are talking about, it's full of scams here in my area. Welcome to YT!

It's great to share the excitement, I've seen it recently. I know of a YT breeder that uses it (not in your area). But do be careful there are scams everywhere nowadays. Hope you get your puppy real soon!

I know the owner of backpage and he is working on removing scams ads everyday. If you see and ad on there in the pets section that contains an email address of any kind or a fake phone number like 111-222-1234 or 000-000-0000 then it is a scam. users are not allowed to post email addresses in the ads at all so the scammers force them in by using commas or dot in place of the . Please report any ads you see using email addresses or phone numbers that don't look right.
