I did yorkie rescue for 10 years, mainly retired puppy mill dogs, or their defective puppies. I had to quit when DH had cancer 2 years ago. He is in remission, but rescue is not in my cards now.
We have 5 yorkies now. Cookie is now 13 and had so many C-sections that one more litter would have killed her, Shadow is now 13. She weighs 3.5 pounds and lived in a cage till she was 9. She had no teeth left when I got her. Her babies drained her of all her excess calcium.
Krissy was born with two bad knees and a defective hip. The rescue paid for corrective surgery so she could walk on four legs. Rosie had misformed upper leg bones and bad knees. She also had this surgery so she could walk.
Max, our only boy, was an owner surrender. He was 2 years old and had been through 2 homes through not fault of his own. He is a love, but is very vocal.
