Buying from a breeder vs. going to a rescue place
I'm getting a puppy in February that I'm buying from a breeder. She'll cost $400, and they say she's a pure Yorkie. I've seen photos of the parents, and they look adorable. However, lately I've been thinking about the puppies in the pound and other rescue places. I've looked online, but I can't find a toy breed puppy. I'm mostly looking for a yorkie, for I've loved them ever since I was little.
What would be the best way to find a puppy at a pound/animal shelter that is of the toy breed? I can't really drive there by myself because I hate going alone. My mom gets off at four and all the other people I know are at school.
