Yorkies hold a special place in my heart, which is why I think it's horrible that more than 90 of the cute little canines were being bred like rabbits in a disgusting puppy mill in Green County, Missouri.

According to the Humane Society, which just rescued the tiny dogs after busting the unlicensed puppy mill, "they have shaved nearly 50 pounds of hair matted with feces from the animals. They also say that some of the dogs were so sick and dirty, and that they couldn't perform basic bodily functions."

If your heart breaks as much as mine when you hear that, then please think about heading here and adopting a Yorkie as soon as they're feeling better.
