My naiveness expected a full list of what they expected of a home for a few dogs; When I was informed after applying and getting a little attached, that there was indeed requirements, it felt kind of harsh.
But which ever way the tides turn, I'm sure I'll find a baby eventually...be it a rescue or from a breeder.
Everyone has a right to their choice of rescuing or buying...and that's OK! 
But thank you! I think I'm going to need all the luck I can get! Haha.  |
The right one will come along. When I lived in NJ I waited for two years...I thought I would never find one! Here in Texas, as much as I hate to say this, you can find one any day in a shelter...just crazy. You just happen to live in an area where they are not overflowing with yorkies.
A friend of mine was trying about a year ago and could not get approved and/or find a pup that would fit in her home. She was riding in a friend's car one day and a yorkie ran in front of them. They looked and looked for his owner and never found them...he is still with her and he was a perfect fit for her home!
Good luck in your search!
