Adopting a rescue is not always easy! I called and tried to adopt a Yorkie/Maltese mix. They would not allow me to adopt him for many reasons. I have a soon to be 11 year old, I have a bigger dog, and my yard isn't fenced. I know MANY YTer's who have young children, big dogs and no fenced in yard. They are also wonderful owners.Obviously this hasn't been an issue with my own yorkie who is going on 3 years old and as for my daughter well she is an only child that has been around small animals her entire life. I had my heart set on bringing that little boy home and I was also willing to pay the $400 adoption fee as well. So you will have to forgive me for not being a very big fan of rescue groups. |
