Another thing I forgot to mention is the website www.petfinder.com.

This website is where I found my Tika - who was ready for adoption at the Humane Society in Thief River Falls. Surprisingly the adoption cost only $60 U.S. (and a $10 fee when crossing the border back into Canada). They had no problem with the fact that I had a six-year-old daughter and were just happy to adopt her into a good, loving home.

I also noticed that my responses to email inquiries to Humane Societies were generally more open than responses from Yorkie Rescue organizations, many of whom sent me rejection form letters. Only a hand full of rescue organizations took the time to write back telling me I don't qualify for adoption because I have a child.

I hope this helps families with children to find the right Yorkie.
