YorkieRose, I'm suspicious of this rescue; do you know how to check out if it's legitimate? I have read a lot lately that this is the new "scam" and bad breeders are opening up their own "rescues".

I saw that site first and then found a different one, Good Dog Animal Rescue - Home
This information matches the contact info I received, I guess I shortened their name. They seem to be doing the good work. Still waiting to hear back from them...

I would do it in a heartbeat! I have a puppymill puppy who is wonderful. He's almost 14 weeks and the smartest little guy. Post pics so we can all see your new baby.

My Yorkie is 4 years old and came from a breeder. She was released to a no killer rescue organization which is who we adopted her from. We are the first family she has ever had. Everything is new to her, we had to start from scratch like she was a new born pup. She only knew the kennel and having pups. They say that when you adopt an older dog there is a "honeymoon" period of 4 to 5 weeks then they start to act like themselves. We have not had any issues with her (other than separation anxiety), we have had her about 6 weeks now. She is a sweet little girl who loves being with us and having lots of attention and special treatment. We were not allowed to have her vet checked before we adopted her which concerned me. But we took a chance on her and so far so good!

Hi and welcome to YT. I think it is fabulous that your able to rescue this puppy. I'd be sure to have the puppy seen by a vet ASAP. Since the pup is from a rescue, and very young, she needs to be treated for parasites, and kept indoors all the time. She is too young for vaccinations. And the concern is Parvo, Distemper, flu, because she has been around other dogs , she is at a high risk.

As far as I understand, rescue groups do not just adopt out to just anyone.
