| Aren't they cute??? Just a few pics... .....of yorkies sitting in shelters or rescues right now... Millions of dogs and cats are PTS each year because nobody wants them. Yorkies are being overbred due in part to their popularity and are showing up in shelters and rescues at an alarming rate. One thing everyone can do???? Spay and Neuter your pets. Plus, it's just plain healthier for your little furbutt. But....if you are thinking about keeping fifi or fido intact, please, take a minute to read this or give this a look.

| sorry if I'm coming on too strong...seems I'm seeing a lot of sadness in the yorkie world lately. I know I'm preaching to the wrong group of people here...or should I say the right group, so many wonderful, RESPONSIBLE, pet owners on YT. I just find it a little overwhelming at times.

| I dont think you are coming on too strong at all. I think many people dont really think about yorkies being in rescues when they are thinking about getting a yorkie. I know I would have never thought of it before. I couldnt imagineanyone would give up a yorkie and put it in a shelter. You are educating people and letting them know they are out there and need homes and I am glad you are doing that for them. Alot of times when people contact me to buy a dog, I tell them about yorkie rescues and try to get them to rescue one if at all possible instead. |
