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. |
I don't personally know of any, but I think this is a great idea. I can't tell you how frustrating it was to get turned down time and time again because of my four-year-old. She is really sweet and very kind to animals. Don't get me wrong, she is still a four year old who still needs supervision, but it would have been nice for a rescue organization to have taken the whole family into consideration and not just the fact that we have a small child. We ended up buying a puppy. She is really good with him and we just love him to pieces, but it is also too bad because we could have given a homeless dog a very good home. Good Luck!
