Below we have advice on the rescue or adoption of a teacup Yorkie, mini Yorkie or miniature Yorkshire Terrier.
Can you find a tiny Yorkie in rescue? Yes, you can. In fact, with the recent celebrity craze of handbag dogs settling down, many tiny dogs are being given up. The poor little puppy dogs are leftover from a fashion trend.
Don’t be one of these terrible owners – learn how to care and look after your precious puppy with the right training you can avoid many of the issues and problems that lead to them being given up.
The adoption of rescue dogs is becoming more widespread and easier. With social networking, and the broad base of Internet access, unwanted dogs are reaching new audiences. It is becoming increasingly popular for people to travel miles to meet a needy dog.
Just don’t be silly enough to fall for a Teacup Yorkie scam seller – a puppy for free? I don’t think so!
The teacup Yorkie does occasionally end up in rescue, but not as frequently as a standard sized Yorkie, though. Why buy a Teacup Yorkie from a breeder when you could rescue one first?
If you want to look for a rescue Yorkie, then you can be certain that you will not regret it. There is something special in a rescued dog’s eyes. I only ever bring a dog home from rescue, and it has always been rewarding.
To find a local rescue that specializes in the Yorkie, it is worth first contacting a national rescue or the Kennel Club.
All breed rescues should be able to help, though they do have waiting lists for some breeds and the Miniature Yorkie is a very popular dog.
It is important, though, to keep in mind that if you rescue a teacup Yorkie, he may not be the healthiest of the breed, but then no dog’s health can be 100% guaranteed. It will be as big a risk buying a dog from classifieds.
A great rescue center will only rehome a Yorkie when he has had full vaccinations and parasite treatment, a health check, a behavior assessment and to a vetted home.
Foster home and website-based rescues are common; the Internet also makes this possible. Organized by volunteer foster caregivers, drivers and coordinators, the satellite rehoming center is great for dogs.
Shelters and dog pounds often regularly pass unwanted dogs over to this type of rescue for assessment and rehoming. This is ideal as the dog is seen and tested in a domestic situation and does not have to live in kennels whilst looking for a home.
Now you know you want to rescue or adopt a puppy in need make sure you get the complete owner’s guide – buy the best-selling book on Amazon…
You may also want to find UK Teacup breeders or American Mini Yorkie breeders.

Lynda says
Hi there ?
I’m looking for a toy teacup yorkie for myself for a possible emotional therapy dog. I’ve had cancer twice and health issues all my life. I would love to pay for this type of dog and it’s training but with all the medical treatments I go through I know that I’m unable to. I haven’t been able to look or get a job in over a year since I’ve gotten my Associates Degree in Business but I have a stable housing condition that I have and will maintain. All I would need help with is finding a dog, training and possibly some small financing for this therapy dog to help me to become better myself and to be able to contribute to my community. At 40(in February) Years old I’m too young to be getting disability and quite frankly I’m not ready to give up yet✨Please help ??

Eva Hartman says
My husband and I have always adopted rescue adult to senior small doggies. They are so loving, giving, and welcomes love and hugs. We have raised only one from puppyhood, a small poodle that lived to be 14 years old. When he passed. we decided to look into rescues because we were up in years, and felt we could give the love and caring the little rescues needed. We’ve NEVER regretted our decision. We would love to welcome a very small adult or senior rescue. It can get lonely without the little doggy paws following us around and sitting on our lap.
June Medlin says

jocelyn says
I see all these comments wanting a teacup pup for free..Well if you can not afford the $750-1,200 to purchase one then you definitely can not afford one…Vets/shots/monthly grooming cost/food/toys/clothes.ect.these dogs are real animals not just a lil cute toy ..The cost to have one is more expensive than average dog..They eat special food 3-6 times a day vitamins are suggested because they are fragile.These dogs are not a poor mans dog and worth every penny …Mommy to Mercedez teacup yorkie $750.00 purchase ..40 monthly grooming fee..
