What are some Yorkie rescue groups?

Some Yorkie dog rescues include United Yorkie Rescue, Save a Yorkie Rescue and Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue, Inc. Other Yorkshire Terrier rescues can be found on Petfinder, which is a site where rescues and dog shelters list dogs of all breeds for potential dog owners.

Yorkie rescue groups specialize in protecting and finding homes for Yorkshire Terriers who are for any reason having to fend for themselves without the care of a responsible human owner. Rescues take in Yorkies when owners can no longer care for the dog, when the Yorkie has been abused by an owner, or if the Yorkie has been left in animal shelters, among other reasons, notes the Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue, Inc.

Prospective new owners are then carefully screened to make sure the rescued Yorkie is placed in a good home.
