I guess we need to "agree to disagree" on the outside dog thing cause it is what it is. We found out my daughter is allergic to all dogs except hypoallergenic dogs after her friends gave her these 2 dogs as pups for her birthday. We didn't want to give them away because we love them very much. Thank you all for your concerns and comments. I will give up on the adoption thing and move on. Have a great day!! |
It sounds like your dogs are being properly cared for. You're obviously not a typical "throw your dog outside and neglect them" person or you likely wouldn't be on this website. I AM glad to hear your Yorkie would not be an outdoor dog. They certainly were not bred to withstand too high or too low temps.
I do sometimes wish rescues would take things on a case by case basis. I understand the concern of course but if you raised a Yorkie to be 14 indoors and this dog is also going to be a beloved indoor pet and all checks out properly with your outside dogs regarding their care and vet checks, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to adopt.
Find a reputable breeder and talk to them in depth about your situation and I am sure you can find what you are looking for. Or go into an animal shelter type place (not necessarily a rescue, if that makes sense?) as you tend to be able to adopt easier from those sorts of places, but you may deal with issues you weren't aware of if they are not coming from a foster home situation.
