I've been trying to adopt a yorkie from a certain yorkie rescue...well, they just told me that they cannot continue to process my application because they do not wish their dogs to be alone for extended periods of time. I do have to work 8 hours a day, but I live 5 minutes away from work and I come home on my hour long lunch breaks. So my dog would only have to be alone for 4 hours at a time, twice a day, while I am at work.
One of the main reasons I wanted to adopt a dog, rather than buy a puppy, is because I know how much more time puppies require. I am willing to put in as much time as necessary, but I can't quit my job. Should I go to a breeder? What does everyone think? I was really sad when I found out that they couldn't process my application.
