I got my Bella from a rescue and my Baci is a rehome. Both of them have no medical issues and are 2 y/o- so pretty young. Bella definitely had/has some fears, but nothing that caused major problems. I think they are both just so appreciative for a loving home- they are so loving and sweet! There is just something special about adopting. I think the rescue that you adopt from is important though- you want to know as much about the dog as possible so that the rescue and you can make sure that particular dog will be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. The application process for these really good rescues can be extensive, but that's really a good thing! You want them to be picky about who they place the dogs with - because you know they will only place a dog with your family that will really be a good long term fit. I hope you do decide to rescue! Good luck in your search!!! I know the rescue I adopted with isn't too far away from you and has some yorkie puppies that will be available in a month or so- they recently rescued two females who turned out to be pregnant and the father. I'll PM you their website.
