Adopting a "rescue" Yorkie - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

one of mine is an ex-mill dog. It has been an experience. There will be good days and bad days.. They do take a little bit of work adjusting depending on their old life. I would rescue another in a heartbeat!

Home visit went well.
Now I guess we will just wait to hear from the organization. Maybe it won't be much longer.

Good Luck to you....... hope that you are able to get a rescue soon!!!

I received notice that we passed the home evaluation and that they were going to notify the foster mom to give me a call to answer any questions. Well, she called and what a wonderful lady! She answered all my questions and gave me her number in case we think of anything else. She said that our new baby is a sweetie and she is glad he will be going to a good home. He is three years old and 11-12 pounds. He was surrendered by his previous owner who could not keep him, but had cared for him well.
I am hoping we can get him next weekend!!

Congrats on making the decision to add a new Yorkie to your family! Even better that you are considering adopting!

Adopted dogs may be older, but they are usually kept, monitored, and trained in foster care so your chances of "knowing what you are getting" are actually best with a reputable rescue as opposed to a puppy from a breeder.

All of the rescues I have adopted from or worked with have all required an application, home visit, spay/neuter contract (if the dog was not already fixed) and a contract stating that the dog is to be returned to the rescue if you no longer can keep or care for it.

I suggest asking the rescue about the particular dog you are interested in, and if you can meet in a park to allow your dogs to meet to judge how they get along on neutral territory.

Once you decide on a dog, here is some advice on introducing them in such a way that increases successful integration: LDT House Training

Adoption is a wonderful option! All of my dogs are rescues!!!!
