Yorkshire Terrier Rescue

The Yorkshire Terrier Rescue

When My wife first mentioned getting a small dog from a yorkshire terrier rescue, I was kind of hesitant, I was always a big dog lover, my favorites were
Bird dogs, Collies and Boxers.
On her birthday I bought her a yorkie instead of going through a yorkshire terrier rescue program, I do have to admit, he was and still is cute. We have had our Yorkshire terrier for 11 years now and I just think he is the greatest pet around, not to mention spoiled out of this world.

After a bit we started thinking about rescue dogs, I don't know if your aware, but a lot of people want a pet and never give a thought about the responsibility that goes with it.

I think that you must ask yourself a question, and that would be do I fully understand the responsibility of owning a dog as a pet? There are so many yorkies or yorkshire terriers out there, that get abused, you have to believe that many people don't think of that question.

We have adopted a couple of yorkies in the past, some with problems and and some not, we have also helped in the rescue of some yorkies, and found homes for them.
I think we could do more, but the one yorkie we have as a pet is not to receptive to other dogs in the house. He in fact has had the run of the house for so long, he just isn't in the sharing mood.

Here are some points to remember when thinking of adopting a yorkshire terrier rescue dog.

How healthy is the dog
how old is the dog
what is the history
keep in mind that this is a yorkshire terrier rescue dog

These animals have come from all walks of life, they have come from homes where people thought they wanted a pet and then found out the responsibility was more than they expected.

You can purchase a yorkie from a yorkie breeder, or yorkshire terrier breeder and do fine.

Some yorkshire terriers come from what they call puppy mills. This is a place that all they do is produce puppies, and the males are just used for studs, and stay in cages their whole life.

The females are used to continually produce litters with no breaks.

The puppy mill yorkshire terrier are not usually taken care of very well either medically or any other way.
We adopted one and he turned out to be one of the best pet you could hope for.

The yorkie is just one of the most lovable dogs around, not only are they cute but they are personality plus.

If you have patience, a lot of understanding then a yorkshire terrier rescue could be for you.

Just give it some thought
