I would love to talk about about policies of some pet rescue organizations in
not adopting any of their Yorkies into families with children. This is the response I received from several rescue organization when applying to take in another rescue.
Thus far I have limited experienced, having only rescued two female Yorkies. Both Yorkies were rescues who had been very abused and neglected, but have been wonderful with my six-year-old daughter, Hannah (and vice versa).
I'm hoping to initiate a conversation about this so I can understand why some rescue organizations won't adopt to permanent homes with children. I'm also hoping some may consider changing these blanket policies because there are probably a lot of great homes out there with children who would love a Yorkie.
I have attached a video of my daughter with Tika (who we've had for three days now) and how cute they interact with each other. Tika is very nervous with everyone she meets, but gets very excited when Hannah comes home from school. I personally think it's good for Yorkies and children learn to play together and love each other.
