About Yorkies
The Yorkshire Terrier is a toy breed with a working past. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as a "silky toy terrier with roots in the Yorkshire cotton mills", and says it is thought that Scottish workers who came to the mines and mills of Yorkshire brought their terriers with them.

How many rescue Yorkies are available for adoption in Orkney Islands?
As of 14 November 2026, no Yorkies are listed for adoption in and around Orkney Islands on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.
Are there Yorkie puppies for sale in Orkney Islands?
No. Rescues rehome Yorkies for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. The nearest place with Yorkies listed today is Preston, about 362 miles away, where each profile shows its rescue's fee.
Can I get a free Yorkie to a good home in Orkney Islands, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Fees are set by each rescue: the profiles on Preston's Yorkies page show them.
