I also wanted to rescue a yorkie, but with having three small children and a Boxer I was turned down and realized I would not have a chance. I understand that children and large dogs are a concern, but thought they would at least come and check us out before turing us down. My children have been raised around small animals. I have 6 rabbits that I have rescued and 3 guinea pigs and 1 hamster. My children handle them and love on them daily all of which are smaller than a yorkie. My boxer is also very gentle with my small animals. Two of my rabbits (one of which is not even 1 pound) have free run of the house and are litter box trained. If my children and Boxer could do great with my little animals I knew they would be great with a yorkie. I gave up with a rescue and my husband suprised me with a yorkie he purchased.
