| Anyone bought from Yorkie Rescue I was just wondering if any of you can share your experience or give me advice on getting a dog from Yorkie Rescue. Some the prices seem a bit high (over $800). |

| the price of the dog is really just looked at as a donation.. many of the dogs that are priced that high have probably had alot of medical attention.. It's kinda like reimbursing them for what they have spent out of their own pocket for the dog.

| There was a dog I looked at and it mentioned nothing about medical issues, just that she was very playful and loving. I am guessing that the price was based on her size (4.5lbs) and age (10 months). The donation price was $825. |

| Is "Yorkie Rescue" the name of where you are getting him/her from or is it A Yorkie rescue? I just would be careful that your not being lead to believe your getting from a true rescue and not just someone that is calling themselves one.

| When dogs are rescued they all come in with medical issues. Everything from spaying, neutering to dental problems and shots. The list can go on and on. A rescues vet bills are never paid in full for obvious reasons so that's the need to charge an adoption fee. It varies I suppose given the medical needs of an individual. |
