Thanks Ann

I have to jump in here and address your confusion regarding what, where, how, why, and finally your "idea" that rescues should give dogs away to elderly

I will not hijack this thread to address your lack of knowledge regarding a REPUTABLE Rescue and why it should not be easy to adopt. Instead, I will address this issue directly to you on your PROFILE regarding your uneducated view of rescues. Thank you............sorry for interupting your discussion.

Why not view it as an opportunity to educate someone and possibly get them interested in adopting a rescue? As Winston Churchill said, " I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught."

If your getting a puppy for the same price you get a rescue there might be a slight chance you will end up paying more later. And I think it would be a great idea to give them to elderly but the main concern it's for the puppy's health and care. Elderly might not be able to afford vets bill or other expenses. A rescue dog deserves as much love as any other. Also rescues shelters need to profit from somewhere to help as many pets as possible.

Welcome to YT.

Since you are fairly new to YT, I am going to paste something here for your education. Perhaps if you stick around long enough you will learn about the many issues that yorkies have that often cost a lot of money to treat. Giving them to people who cannot afford them can only serve to put them in homes that will end up having to rehome them again. They are a high maintenance breed.

I am not going to address WHY rescues have so many because it takes too much time and I am quite sure most of the people on this thread already know.

So....here you go...please read this link and understand WHY rescues must charge the adoption fees that they do. Rescues NEVER break even with adoption fees....they are left to raise money in other ways. Adopting IS cheaper than buying a yorkie because they are fully vetted including spay/neuter. You also need to realize that anyone who sells a yorkie cheap probably is not breeding healthy yorkies...maybe not always, but more often than not.

Hope this helps you to understand:

Ya think...?

I forgot to check if there had been a full moon or a greater population moving into menopause...hmmm....wait, there was a male involved...maybe not! No, it's just YT and all who feel the need to express their passion for their beliefs.

I found it humorous....you need to do more of that. Maybe I should direct you to threads turning sour so you can give them a pick me up.

I attempted to turn a thread around talking about the South and Steel Magnolias...it got locked.....

So maybe rap or poetry will do the job.
