Yorkshire terrier rescue groups, however they differ from each other, have a single goal: to rescue Yorkshire terriers that have been living the dark side of life.

These yorkies (purebred or crossbred) being rescued are merely neglected and abused in one way or another by their owners; whatever compelled these people to impose such cruelty on these hapless yorkies is beyond me.

On the other hand, there are good yorkie owners too. These are owners who, after adopting the dog and found out that he was not fit to be a pet simply sought the help of a rescue group to have him placed in another good home.

A lot of these rescued Yorkshire Terriers have a sad story to tell. Some of them are products of puppy mills; some of them were found wandering in the streets – heavily starved, dirty, afflicted with illness, and very much unwanted.

It is such a pity that there are people who can just abandon their yorkies like that.

Fortunately, there are Yorkshire terrier rescue groups that are dedicated to saving these little dogs in order for them to start anew. To get healed, feel better, and be given the chance how it is to be genuinely loved by humans.

Some yorkies have lived a few years more in their care, some have not. But these dogs have spent the last days of their lives struggling against the harsh blows of fate with people who have the heart to take good care of them.

These people who, in spite of having busy schedules themselves, simply stretched a bit of their time and attention to yorkies that are being marred physically, and emotionally.

It is a big struggle for these yorkies to trust anyone. But as soon as they are offered safety and shown love, you’ll be surprised at the progress they show.

I have read so much of yorkie rescues with heartbreaking pictures of what they were before. I could not help but cry because these dogs do not deserve to be treated so badly by people who claim to have good authority over them.

Their stories will deeply touch anyone – dog lover or not. Stories which tell both the good and the bad times rescued yorkies experienced in the hands of those who took advantage and left them – and hopefully, their stories will serve to people to love their yorkies more, and show how lucky they are.
