When you went to shave Yeti's butt, he was like "What the heck are you doing to my ass menagerie, ma'am?"

Puppy mills should be illegal in every country.

It's also important for people to know that a lot of puppy mills have "lovely home" fronts, where they'll take the litter they've been advertising (often on Facebook, Craigslist, etc) and mom out of the mill, clean them up and bring them to their home to make it look like they've been taking care of them. They often advertise the puppies as an accidental litter and will sell the pups for cheaper than a professional breeder because it's "quantity over quality". Don't ever trust a breeder that cant/wont provide the puppies and parents health tests and shot information. Thats a big red flag for puppy mills and backyard breeders, really good breeders will also keep the puppies till 10 weeks instead of 8 weeks which is the minimum age law requires, that extra 2 weeks is really good for their social development. Good breeders will also provide regular updates with pictures, inform you of the puppy slop and puppy food they're being fed and will require you sign a contract that if can no longer provide a home for your pup that you are to return them rather than ditch them in a shelter or abandon them.

Earliest I've ever been. I love it when small dogs are named after large things. My friends Yorkshire terrier is called leviathan

People who run puppy mills are truly evil. Thank God for the rescuer who saved this sweet boy.

I visited the sanctuary's page and they have a rooster named satan, and his bio is hilarious 😆

My fur baby Suzi came from a puppy mill. She was in the discard pile with over 100 others. She was one of 28 that made it. I have nothing but fury about puppy mills. My other one came from a dog fighting ring. The cruelty of some knows no bounds. What a beautiful sweet fur baby. Yeti is very calm for all he has been through ❤

Being old, I decided to get a senior rescue dog, and as happens, I saw a Yorkie sixty miles or so away. It was one of those ‘That’s my dog!’ moments. I’ve always had sizable dogs, and having a teeny guy took adjustment, but he is a genuine champ! Only barks at strangers at or inside the door, spends his days an average of 18” away from me, and is loving without being nervous or clingy. I am very careful where I step, and check before I close an outside door, since getting shut out is distressing. I would strongly recommend senior dogs for senior people😢. Good in so many ways.

I rescued a puppy mill puppy that was brought to an auction to give away. He was matted to the skin, you couldn't see his face because the hair covered his eyes and was black and matted to his mustache. (Shih tzu) His feet and legs were black and matted in poop. He had also vomited in the kennel. I grabbed him. I groomed him myself. Thanks to you❤. He's had 2 seizures and is blind. He's now on medicine and will be a forever dog in our home.

A friend had an accidental litter of Border Collie/Queenslands. She went to great pains taking care of the pups and making sure their new owners had high standards of care. She sold four of five and kept her favorite. She sold them for $800 each because free dogs are often abused. She also had the new owners sign an agreement that; at any time, and for any reason, they no longer wanted the pup, they'd give it back to her. She also stayed in contact with the new owners as long as she could. One pup was returned, so she now has three dogs; momma and two of her boy pups.

It breaks my heart that puppy mills are even a thing. But I am so grateful there are people with a big heart willing to rescue these innocent animals that did not deserve the cruel treatment they received. They all deserve a second second chance at a loving home ❤.

What a sweetie! Puppy mills make my stomach turn. Our humane society is overwhelmed by not only COVID dogs and cats but with 2 recent seizures of close to 200 dogs 'living' in horrific conditions.

love how yorkies' hair often looks like they want to speak to a manager

My dog is a rescue from a puppy mill. I'm glad that he's well adjusted for a rescue dog, really seems to have just been neglected in his puppyhood so he has a long, happy social life ahead of him. The best part is that I got him because our local government shut the puppy mill down so I neither had to give the puppy mill money nor do I have to worry that that mill is still abusing dogs. The only bad part is that the perpetrators didn't go to jail - they were fined and aren't allowed to keep more than 2 dogs, but they'd already had that happen in another state so I do worry they'll head off to the next state and start again. I hope soon we can have a national animal cruelty register that stop people being repeat offenders and, frankly, put these POS in jail.

I have never seen a Yorkie so docile! Usually they are hyper yappy balls of fur! What a darling!

Puppy mills should be illegal. I’m glad good people rescued him.

What a lucky dog. Not many puppy mill dogs get a happy ending when put in the pile.

The fact that puppy mills even exist makes my blood boil. How can they be legal? Yeti is a little sweetheart. His family must adore him.

I could hear the anger in your voice as you tried to find the words to describe how this poor baby was treated, and I give you all the kudos for keeping an even keel as you described it because I most certainly couldn’t. How there can be such horrible human beings in this world is just appalling. I’m so happy Yeti has been able to find his happiness on a sanctuary, and I hope he never knows even a moment of hardship again.

Two Gold Stars for the most creative and hilarious names for rescues: Ass Menagerie and Hobo Haven! 😂😂♥

That's the calmest Yorkie I've ever seen.

What an adorable, well behaved little boy! Precious! Bless Ass Menagerie for saving him.

The dearest little Floofy baby. ❤

His little face when the clippers went for his southern hemisphere: "And just WHAT are you doing with that, my good madam?!" 😲😲

cannot say enough great things about yorkies. I am owned by a 5 lb one & she rules the house. No one messes with mama. She's bashful to strangers & hates loud noises. She is smart, loving, funny, playful & so much more. I am proud to own a little yorkie. This sweet baby is such a sweetheart. He just stood there & let Vanessa do as she willed. I love these small dog vids, please show more. God BLESS the sanctuary who rescued this precious yorkie.

Just the sweetest little man. I'm so glad he found a loving home.

I totally get how you described loving small dogs after only having larger dogs! I grew up only with larger dogs in the family (Collies, Setter, Samoyed). When my sister got a Chihuahua I asked "why would you get such an awful type of dog?" (I.E. yappy, barky, annoying...) Then....... she came to visit and I met her Long-haired Chihuahua. After ten days we fell in love! I will add that we had never had a pet in 23 years of marriage. Now we have had two Long-haired Chihuahuas for 7 & 11 years! Couldn't be more happy and love our sweet small dogs.

Love the pocket sized Yeti and he is so patient with the groom.

i love how you have dogs of all breeds as your own dogs. you just love dogs and have a home in your heart for all sizes, personalities, breeds and ages

All puppy mills need to be shut down!

The look on Yeti's face when you went to shave his sanitary area was hysterical! His face clearly said "How dare you!". I loved it when Vanessa said he was like a cat hiding in the corner. At least he wasn't trying to climb the walls. 😹

He said excuse me ma’am kindly get off my butt

My boss used to groom this dog in Dunnville, Ontario!!! We made a Christmas calendar for her animals. I met him too, so funny to see him on here! Small world ❤️

Puppy mills will last as long as they are permitted to by authorities and society 😢😢😢

Yeti is so adorable! I’m so glad you could help him. His fur is just gorgeous.

He is so good natured. I am so thrilled he was saved. Have a great life little Yeti.❤

They are banned here in the Netherlands but they do try to sell such puppies from mills in eastern europe. Like OL pretending they have a breed puppy that they can't keep and needs a new home, then they just scam people. You can still breed healthy breed dogs but they have strict laws on that, people who want to make money backyard breeding have dumped their dogs to when the laws get stricter. They also don't let you breed short nosed dogs (you can breed healthier versions of those dogs) or cats with health conditions.

He is so cute! And the wordplay about the Glass Menagerie ❤

He's gorgeous. I went from a lifetime of Rottweiler ownership to a mini foxie cross breed. We had a moment at the local shelter and that was it. Love at first sight. I never thought I'd ever own a tiny dog.

What a wonderful temperament! He would be a fabulous fur friend

Such a cutie! So glad your fundraising is going well. You’re an animal godsend.😁🙌👍👏

Quiet and calm little Yorkie considering what he went through.Thank you Vanessa.

He was super well behaved even if he didn't like loud noises. Such a cutie!

Yeti is a sweetheart. He got scared on certain things but he did better than I expected. I love all dogs and dog sizes but the little ones hold a special place in my heart 🥰

my son and his wife adopted a Tibetan Spaniel from a breeding farm--caged, out to breed, back in the cage was his life. it's been almost two years and he is socialized after much patience, training and love. Tibetan's are wonderful. We miss our Tibetan rescue who was with us for over 10 years but had to go to doggie heaven--the worst day of our lives.

He lives where?! 😂 That title hella funny! That lady who runs the sanctuary is doing good work rescuing these animals-kudos to her-and you for grooming him.❤

Thank you SO much for raising awareness and helping with fundraisers for the animals! All you do makes a real difference! Thank you, thank you! 💕💕💕💕🐾🐾💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾🐾💕💕💕💕💕💕

Your explanation on people owning small dogs is spot on. I’ve been looking into adopting soon, and people are surprised that I’m leaning more towards a chihuahua or another small breed. My mom owned a chi for 16 years and they joke that I “didn’t learn my lesson” but the irony is yes I did. She was a feisty ball of chaos and didn’t mind in the slightest, but that’s because we knew nothing but raising pit bulls that my dad rescued up until that point. We had to relearn how to raise and train a dog from scratch, and that involved making some mistakes. We had to learn she may be small, but she is mighty, and if you let her take an inch she would most certainly take mile after mile. And it’s from experiencing that first hand rather than just mimicking the motions of how my dad trained and raised pit bulls that made me truly love that personality, and learn how important it is to keep up with it. Not to say I don’t love pitties though - I adore those big babies and I would adopt one in a heart beat, but I know they are high energy dogs and I’m not living in a space where I can give them the activity that they need. Also, if another dog steals my heart, so be it, no matter their size or how familiar I am with them.

He is so cute. How can breeders be so cruel?

You can tell that she really loves Yorkies because of how gentle she was. Also, that’s the calmest Yorkie I’ve ever seen.

I feel like my house is the Crazy Ass Menagerie at times. 😂 That's great work you did with the fundraiser!

Too much cuteness. What a beautiful loving gesture to rescue all these poor little souls that get disposed off like garbage because they can’t profit from them. It’s a very sad world. Thank for always helping with your complimentary grooms.❤

Of course he's water repellent, his ancestors are from Yorkshire, it rains 355 days a year 😆🤣😆 Joking.... sort of. Love to the White Roses from a Red Rose ❤ Yeti is a beautiful good boy ❤

I couldn't eat either if I was trapped in such an awful place! They need to be stopped with legislation making these places illegal with very stiff penalties (extended jail time) for those who ignore the law. Why doesn't this rescue place report these places?!!!

What a sweetheart he is. I'm so happy he is finally in a loving and safe environment.

Such a precious baby!!! You’re so good with these babies! God bless you for helping raise money for them!

Yeti is adorable.😊 What a sweet and precious fur baby.😊

I had a Yorkie-bichon. Piece of advice for this and similar dogs. Weekly butt fur maintenance! Keep that area trimmed up it will save you a lot of hassles.

Yeti is such a cutie! I bet he's good to cuddle with.

😢😢😢oh no, that breaks 😢 my heart....these animals are a joy. Like I said before, there's a special place for folks that harm animals......I love animals. You're an amazing groomer/lovers of animals. Keep sharing your wisdom 🙏🏻 and knowledge. You are so good with the furbabies and your voice is so peaceful.......❤📖😢✝️

I'm horrified at the treatment this adorable guy got at the puppy mill. I'm glad he's living his best life. I grew up with a Yorkie as my "littlest brother."

He was so well-behaved and such a little gentleman! Love, love to TAM and HOBO and ALL the rescuers out there!

"Your mother said that you don't like your nails clipped." Your mother - so cute!

Huge amount of money raised!! Congrats to you for doing the work and to this community. Gives faith back

I am a big dog person, but I would take him any day. He was just so calm and quiet, yet inquisitive. Totally LOVED him! I am so happy they rescued him!

A friend and her husband were responsible Yorkie breeders. The pups had a large fenced yard to play in, they were regularly groomed, treated well, and the new owners had to provide proof the dog they bought was neutered or spayed. Every time it was time to sell pups the husband had a hard time letting them go.

Vanessa, you are such a kind soul. Even with your most difficult, you are always funny, kind, frank, and so light hearted. That speaks volumes about your character.

This channel needs to hit one million this year!!! You podcast is awesome too and I hope it grows tremendously this year!! I hope it makes it to at least 100k!!

OMG!! Cute overload *lingering beep beep* Ah crud. He stole my heart the cute is beyond adorable. 😊❤

He's just precious!

Such a sad back story, but I am pleased that Mr. Yeti has a safe and comfortable forever home that makes him happy. I had always had big dogs for a very long time! My "little" dog was 25 lbs. Then I got my 1st toy poodle! I love all dogs, big and small, but now there is a special place in my heart for the tiny dogs under 10lbs!

Oh my, he is so precious. So happy he will have a good life❤️

I can imagine Yeti and Melvin being best friends!

What an ADORABLE little dog!!!! You did a GREAT JOB, AS USUAL!!!!

that's a really sweet yorkie! And she's an old lady. Our yorkie was like this near the end. Just kinda sweet and emotionally needy and was fine with everyone as long as she got her pets and brushies and snuggles. But she was never too old to go yell at a bigger dog who stepped a paw in her territory. She was mischievous too! We always had to watch her or she'd sneak off and go explore the neighborhood -- once we didn't even know she was missing until the mailman brought her back from a half mile away! On those tiny little legs! We never got her groomed, tho, we just brushed her with a slicker at least once a week or so, whenever she needed it or wanted a brushie.

Yeti. Adorable. ❤ I’m glad he survived such horrible treatment as a puppy. Live long and prosper, Yeti!

I need to hug him❤ so cute

Can we get 'Hobo Haven' backed up by another group to deal with the puppy mill owners? Like maybe a Navy Seal Team, or in Canada maybe JTF 2, or if the mill is located in the U.K., how about the SAS? So glad that Yeti was saved, and is in a safe place! Excellent work Vanessa, both on grooming Yeti and the fund raising event!👍

Congratulations to all involved in the senior dog rescue. What an incredible result. Thanks to you as well Vanessa for your involvement in so many of these events. 🐾💰🇦🇺🐾🐕🐶

My husband always said he would never have a small dog, but a family friend of ours brought her mini schnauzer to a family dinner recently and he was immediately enthralled and obsessed with him. He says that breed HAS to be our next dog🤣 and i’m not complaining, we have one medium and one giant breed right now, our next dogs being small will definitely be easier in some ways!

our last female was dumped on someone's front lawn. she had recently had a litter of puppies and i think she was beyond her 'productive' years. She was a great dog... So glad she got to be part of our home.

That’s the truth about the difference between large and small dogs. I owned large dogs until I met my sisters “puggle” , Dakota, and they were not taking good care of her. I added this stubborn runner to my menagerie until she got loose and ran into a car. My next dog was a Pomeranian cocker spaniel turned inti the love of my life.

God bless you for all of the educational stuff 💞

He's so cute.😊❤

How can anyone treat furbabies like that 😢😢

how are there not animal cruelty laws against what you described at that puppy mill

I love yorkies ❤❤ well done Vanessa and everyone who donated that's an amazing amount to such a good cause ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

You are always so amazingly patient and kind with every single animal that you groom. No matter how aggressive or afraid, you speak calmly and are just so gentle. You really care about every animal you groom and it just... astounds me. Thank you for being so wonderful with the babies you're trusted with!!!

Another good video Vanessa! I wish the best for the little boy in the future. 🐕❤

I have always raised Great Pyrenees but I got Maui, he’s a rescue yorkie, four months old and I adore him

If you think Yeti is a big name for a Yorkie (at least his hair kinda backs him), try naming 2 tiny skinny Chihuahuas Tyson and Samson... nuff said

What a good boy and so sweet. I’m so happy he was rescued.❤ And a massive well done for the fund raising 🎉👏🏻

He is such a good boy! 🐾

That little dude has such an expressive face. What a doll baby.

He is adorable 😍

Must be a play on words from the story "The Glass Menagerie."

He is so sweet.

What a Sweetheart you are Yeti. It makes me very happy to know you have a wonderful place to live and that Vanessa for extra special treat of a bath and a groom. Bless you little one. 🐶💖🇦🇺😀🏡
