| What are the chances? I have been wanting another yorkie for awhile now. Well I have found this beautiful little 2yr old on petfinder that I would love to adopt. This puppy is with a rescue out of Ohio. Really, would it be worth my time to even fill out the application? I live in a townhouse, yes the landlord allows pets. I don't have a fenced in yard, although my current dog gets plenty of excercise and I would never let her out without being on a leash. And I guess most importantly, I have a 10 yr little boy. He is very good with Sadie, is very aware that she can get hurt easy. Oh, I almost forgot, I work full time as does my boyfriend so no one is home during the day. That being said, she is not locked up in a crate, she has a safe room with a pee pad, bed, toys and food and water. I guess that seems like the main things that they ask on the application.

| I've found that each rescue has their own set of rules. But I would say, go for it. Maybe you could just tell the rescue what you said here and see if they think you'd be a good canidate before you filled out the application. Good Luck.

| Is there any information on their website about requirements for adoptive parents? Most will state their policy, i.e. fenced backyard, no small children, etc. Rescue groups usually get flooded with applications for young, healthy dogs like this one. If you feel you meet their requirements and have excellent vet references, I'd fill out an application. If they don't adopt to homes with children your son's age, or require a fenced yard, your application probably wouldn't be approved. |
