http://www.yorkshireterrierrescue.net/ is in Wadley GA. They may or may not have a puppy at this time, but they may know of one that needs a new home or someone may turn one in to them in the near future.

Puppies you probably won't find any, though you might find a young adult mix out of a shelter or pound, rescues are going to charge more than a hundred, since they do all the vetting and often have to housetrain them as well before they can be adopted out

Even if you paid had to pay $800 for a pup from a breeder that is still going to be less money than all the costs associated with keeping and caring for a puppy for the first year,
even if you can find one for a $100 do you have a a thousand or so dollars to paid for food and vetting, one broken leg can cost upto $2500 to fix, Nothing is worse than coming on here day after day and seeing the words "HELP ME- MY DOG IS DYING AND I HAVE NO MONEY FOR THE VET" and most of those dogs will end up dying of horrible suffering deaths simply because the owner never considered the cost of caring for a dog, and some of those deaths could have be prevented for under $50 by having the dog vaccinated or going to the vet when diarreaha first occured. I had 3 dog but now 4, but I have a couple years where I had vet bills that were hitting $8,000-$10,000 in just one year and much of that was for diagnostic testing in one dog in spent close to $1400 in bloodtests in one year, the most expensive of those was $300 and had to be sent from Canada to a university in the southern US for analysis by rush courier and it turn out negative for what we thought was wrong with her, but without having the test done we would not know if that was what was causing her problems, Diagnostic imaging can run well over a $1,000 and may be needed to look at internal organs or for spinal problems.


If you do manage to find a yorkie for $100 it was probably very badly bred and already has existing health problems that will need to be taken care of right away and more often is behind on it's vaccinations as well and likely has worms, so you are looking at vet visits of $200 minimum on top of the purchase price, which is why going thru a rescue is a better deal, as most problems are already taken care of.

I learned a long time ago, when I wanted a specific breed but as a puppy, to wait and save and buy a pup from a super good quality breeder even though the cost of the actual pup is more, I save a lot more money in the long run

Think long and hard before buying, especially about whether you can afford to care for a dog, most vets will not treat your dog if you don't have the money to pay them in full even when they are dying, if waiting to save money first seems to difficiult look into the costs of pet accident and sickness insurance to see if you can swing the monthly fees for that , otherwise I reccomend waiting until you have $1000 set aside to cover emergency vet care, it is not enough for all situations, but in the worst case senarios ensures you have enough to euthanize an animal to prevent undue suffering if you cannot afford to treat it

Answer 3

Why would you want an inferior Yorkie puppy. In most cases you really do get what you pay for. So if you want "cheap" go ahead, but don't be surprised when the vet bills exceed the price of a well bred one.
What you pay for a puppy is just the tip of the iceberg of what a dog costs.

Answer 4

Generally most Yorkies will not be that cheap. Be prepared-I have a Yorkie and they are fiesty and hard to potty-train. Make sure you are financially able to take care of a dog. If you are so concerned with the price, what happens if the dog breaks it's leg or gets sick? Please put that into consideration before buying any pet. Yorkies are great pets! If you can find one for that price-go for it. Also, you can buy pet insurance for your dog-mine is $20.00/month.

Answer 5

Find a Yorkie rescue organization in your area. Do a search on "Yorkie rescue Atlanta" - I got over 78,000 hits!

Answer 6

Go to a pound. There you can find cheap, possibly free ADORABLE yorkies looking for a home. Not only will you get a pet of your dreams, but you will help the animals.

Answer 7

in case your money are limited, your superb determination is going to be to envision with a rescue or preserve. nicely bred, healthful domestic dogs are actually not inexpensive via fact breeding isn't a inexpensive undertaking. Breeders have expenses invested of their classes that they'd desire to aim to hide by ability of charging for the canines they arrive to a determination to place--grooming and whelping components, the expenses of inventory, vet expenses, scientific sorting out, nutrition, time, etc. It certainly comes for the duration of as very conceited and insulting while human beings physique of ideas breeders awaiting a hand out or low fee. that's as though asserting the canines are actually not nicely well worth the time and funds that has been invested in them. seek for an excellent breeder (which takes a lot of time) and inspect some shelters. meanwhile, preserve your money. all people needs something for not something, besides the undeniable fact that it is not an exceedingly reasonable expectation. i might like a loose/inexpensive Mercedes Benz, yet realistically, if i want one, i visit would desire to save up and purchase one merely like all people else.

Answer 8

Look on petfinder.com. I love Yorkies and have one myself. He was more than $100 but less than alot of the ones you see advertised in the paper. i don't think you have to spend alot to get a great dog!

Answer 9

Please go to your local humane shelter or even search for a Yorkie rescue group located there near you...but before either of these, please be sure you are able to care for this breed properly. Yorkies are excellent companions and are intelligent, inquisitive and usually very entertaining but they are also sensitive and generally very feisty, spirited little dogs and need much of their owner's time and attention. They also need special care of their coats. Be prepared to be a responsible owner of such a breed and be willing to set aside adequate time to care for this breeds needs. I have a little Yorkie and I'm glad I chose that breed.

Answer 10

why don't you want to buy a yorkie from a reputable breeder,, your chances of having a longlived dog, with few health issues is far greater than getting a puppymiller/backyard breeder pup for free..... dogs cost money,,, buying the dog is the cheap part,, food, grooming, toys, vet bills, etc. etc. maintenance is the expensive part,, perhaps you should not get a dog til you can afford it.
