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! |
I can understand why it is frustrating but you also need to look at it in our eyes. 9 out of 10 times a yorkie comes into rescue because of a child. four of fosters this year came in because of children. We aren't trying to be mean or harsh but trying to protect our little ones so they don't come back. This does not mean that we think that all children are bad just kids are kids and are not aware how to handle dogs at a young age. Of course there are exceptions and we take that into consideration. Please don't be discouraged by rescues just realize that we have the best interest of the pups first. We are not in the business in making families happy but are in the business of finding the right home for our pups.
