It is sometimes very sad the situations that some inhumane people can put Yorkshire Terriers in. If you know of a Yorkie that has been abused or abandoned then it is up to you to contact a Yorkie rescue to get the dog the help it needs and a second chance at a good life. Sometimes finding a Yorkie rescue can be a little complicated but if you know where to look then it is not that bad. A couple of phone calls can be a lifesaver to a Yorkie in need.



It is always a given that your vet is a great resource for any information you may need for any of the local animal rescue groups. Just ask your vet for the contact information they have on local Yorkie rescue and they should be able to help you. If you do not have a vet just contact one from the phone book or visit your local vet's office.

Your local newspaper has been a beacon for the collection of important community information for many years and that information includes local animal rescue groups like Yorkie rescue. Sometimes the local paper will even go so far as to publish this information on a regular basis as a resource for people who need it but even if they do not publish this information it is probably a very good bet that they have the Yorkie rescue contact information that you need.

Local law enforcement also acts as sort of a collection place for important local information and they may be able to help you find contact information for the local Yorkie rescue.

Many people never think of asking law enforcement such information but if they have collected that information over the years then they would be more than happy to give it to you so you can help a poor dog get the help it needs.

The Internet has been called the superhighway that brings the world together and for that reason many people forget that you can also use the Internet to find local information as well. Search the Internet to see if Yorkie rescue groups local to you have established websites to offer you important advice and helpful contact information.

If you cannot find a local Yorkie rescue group, then search for national groups. Sometimes a national group will have a local office they can get you in touch with that can help you get assistance for the abandoned pet.

The humane thing to do when a pet is being abused or abandoned is to get it the help and assistance it needs for a second chance at life. Sometimes this may mean a couple of extra phone calls but in the end when you can help a defenseless animal find a new lease on life those extra phone calls suddenly do not seem so inconvenient anymore.
