Bless you for adopting children and for caring so much about your daughter and her wishes! It sounds like your home would be a wonderful place for an adopted yorkie. We adopted Lucky from a shelter when she was two, and she is our beloved baby, although she does have a few behavioral problems. If you know someone who can no longer care for her yorkie, it could be a good opportunity for you and your daughter. Just make sure that the dog has been well socialized, since you will be introducing it to children and other dogs. Lucky wasn't particularly well socialized by her former owners. She is very loving towards my husband and I and is friendly towards most adult strangers, but she is nervous and anti-social around other dogs and uncertain around children. We have been making an effort to introduce her to new people, places, and dogs, but it is hard to socialize a dog at the age of two which must not have been exposed to much as a pup. |
