Hi There!
Well, the first thing to know is that a free dog isn't free. You have to expect $1000 a year in medical bills and be ready to handle a $1000 emergency, should the situation or illness arrive. This doesn't mean you will spend $1000 every year, but if you can't afford to buy from a reputable breeder, then you can't afford a dog.
The second thing to know is that you need to research the breed. If you don't know how to spell the breed name, then you haven't done any homework on the dog. This means you aren't a good potential owner for that breed. A resopnsible dog owners reads all she can on the breed she is interested in, rather than just want one because they are 'cute'.
The third thing you have to realize is that no dog "doesn't grow". They all grow and mature. Even if they only reach 5 pounds, that is certainly bigger than the 4oz they were when they were born.
Next, realize that Yorkies are toy breed terriers. They bark. They can be hard to potty train for some people. They break easily when young. They live a long time (where will you be in 15 years??). They can be protective.
The only way to know that any given dog will be fine around your cat is to adopt or rescue an adult one. This is great because then you'll know in advance how big the dog will be and if it's potty trained. These aren't all old sick dogs, many are young dogs whose owners couldn't handle the responsibility.
I'll link to some resources for you. : )

Try looking at www.petfinder.com for puppies in your area. You can find most breeds. Or check your local animal shelter.

There are a lot of puppies out there....or are you looking for a "freebie". I highly doubt you will find a free Yorkie puppy.

You can find any breed of dog (purebred included) through your local SPCA. Just call them and tell them what type of dog you are interested in. They will call you when one comes in!

THE SPCA IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A GOOD HOME FOR DOGS AND CATS, PUPPIES ARE ALOT OF WORK AND SHOULD RECEIVE LOTS OF YOUR TIME, IT'S LIKE CARING FOR A NEWBORN, PLEASE DON'T GET ONE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S A FASHION STATEMENT,IF YOU ARE REALLY SURE ABOUT THIS, BUY YOUR PET ITEMS AT BURLINGTON COAT FACTORY, REAL CHEAP FOR COATS, DRESSES, SWIM SUITS, CARRIERS, BACKPACKS, STROLLERS, BEDS, COLLARS, EVERYTHING.
