My husband and I adopted a 4.7 year old Yorkie with papers from the Irish Kennel Club. She was given up because she has food and pollen allergies that were treated by giving her too much steriods, so she also became diabetic. She is a delightful dog that goes with me everywhere. She walks everywhere. She rides in a bicycle basket. She rides in the car in a large cage or in a dog bed. She even goes on the DC Metro with me. When you adopt a non-puppy they are already potty trained and leash trained. If you are looking for an inexpensive dog, please do NOT get a Yorkie. Even www.YORKIERESCUEME.com charges adoption fees. The theory is that if you are unwilling to pay a fee and suport all the dogs they rescue then you may not be willing to spend the money to give the dog the proper medical care. You may think you are justing getting a dog--no big deal. In reality a Yorkie is going to bond with one of you and want to be your Best Friend for the rest of its life. |
Since when does the DC Metro allow dogs on their trains? I live not far from there and I go every year to visit and see family but I have yet to see anyone take their dogs on the Metro. Is this something new they started to allow?
Thanks,
