It was really difficult to not love our little pups who were so comfortable in front of the cameras that they fell asleep in a giant puppy pile by the end!

Here, various rescue groups and no-kill shelters work together to spay or neuter these pups. Each group is responsible to provide additional medical care for the puppy mill survivors, socialize them and find them their furever family. It is a huge responsibility but one that we take very seriously. Yorkie911's rescue pups rely on the generous donations from our supporters to continue our rescue mission.
