Like yorkie puppies.
Puppies are never free. Just so you know.
THe only place that I have seen "free puppies" has been in a newspaper, in which case someone's dog got accidentally (or purposefully) impregnated which means you have NO idea about the health and quality of the puppies, you have no idea about at least one of the parents, your puppy is going to show up without its first shots, without being wormed, and who knows what else.
So check the newspaper.
Or better yet, save up a bunch of money, because puppies are expensive.
First shots, deworming
Spaying/Neutering
Kennel
Food
Bowls
Registration with the county
Leashes and collars
Can all run you over 1000.00 (minimum) in your first year of puppy ownership. And that doesn't include if the puppy ruins your carpet, or couch, or bedspread, or linoleum or anything else in your house that he might end up destroying . . .
Free puppies – never really free. If you don't have the money to buy from a breeder or even to adopt from a shelter, you don't have hte money to provide a good quality home.

I know of no site that does that puppies are expensive and giving them away for free means you might have to put more money in them then you expected… watch out if you find one…. puppy mills are horrible things

Most credible places won't give away puppies, since people tend to treat free dogs badly (not that you would do that, but other people might).
Even rescue organizations will charge a fee to help cover the cost of the dog's care while it was with them. Check on petfinder for yorkie puppies available for adoption, but be prepared to pay at least 50-100 dollars for one. It helps cover the cost of their food, vaccines, spaying/neutering, etc., so you're actually getting a deal if this is all done already!

You can't. Here's why:
If you can't afford an adoption fee, you can't afford the care and upkeep of a pet. That adoption fee will likely include spay/neuter, first round of shots, etc.
Adoption fees also keep icky people away. (lab testing, dog fighting, etc.)
If you want a breed, make sure it has a good pedigree, or you could find yourself with a sickly puppy and expensive vet bills. Which isn't free. What that means is that you don't buy from a store, and you tour any prospective breeder's facility. But it sounds like what you want is a rescue. A quick websearch will turn one up. They may not have puppies, though.
Do some research to see what you will realistically be spending yearly on a pet. Call a vet and ask how much all the shots a puppy gets cost.

Everyone thus far is wrong.
Granted, I know of no place that is focused around simply giving away puppies for free, try your local newspapers website under classifieds. OR, my personal favorite craigslistDOTcom.
It's true, most free puppies are from unwanted pregnancies, and people complain that they don't have shots, but if you're willing to get that taken care of yourself, it's wonderful. We've adopted three of our dogs from people on there, and one WAS in fact free, up to date on shots, and perfectly healthy.

Puppies are never free . You have to buy food, provide vet care, ect… Forget about getting a purebred yorkie puppy free ( pet quality Yorkies cost $750 & up ). You might get lucky checking the shelters in your area, try petfinder.com.
