Wanting to adopt a second yorkie Hello, I have Dakota, my baby girl, and would like to get her a companion, I was hoping to adopt her a brother. We bought Dakota from a breeder..but I would like to adopt our next fur-baby. We live in Mississippi, if anyone knows of a little one that needs a home around this area please let me know!! Thanks!! |
I would suggest looking on Petfinder. :) Good luck in your search! |

Thanks! I have looked on there before, but was a little unsure about places asking a several hundred dollar fee. Is this normal for adopting a yorkie? |
Yes! Take a look at this: Yorkie Haven Rescue Adoption Fees When you adopt from a reputable rescue, your pup should be fully vetted! If you purchase a pup, you have to pay for spay/neuter and exams and shots...dental if deciduous teeth need to be extracted. There should be no surprises with a rescue. |
Thanks for the link! I feel alot better about the decision to adopt now! I didn't know any of that and was just concerned some people may be "exploiting" unfortunate yorkies. I know that probably sounds silly, but I'd hate to support something like that. Thank you again!! |

My pleasure. I am glad you are thinking through this logically and carefully! :) |
Go girl! Save a life, and you will get more love then you can imagine. Hoping for the best. |
I have been wanting to get Dakota a "brother"...our puppy obedience trainer said getting a male would be better as sometimes females don't get along. She also told me getting a younger yorkie would help Dakota adjust better. I was wondering what opinions/suggestions yorkie talk family had?? Is it better to have a male and female..or two females? I think Dakota is lonely and needs someone to play with (other than mommy and daddy :rolleyes:). She doesn't really play outside anymore...she mostly just lays in the yard and watches everything. I want her to be happy..but am a little worried she may feel less important/loved..I know I probably sound crazy. |
Hi I think its a very good idea to adopt a new little friend for your little yorkie.:) I had two females together for some years. But unfortunately i had a 7yr difference which was to great. My elder yorkie Gemma didn't take to her new sister for about 6mths..but after that all was fine. I prefer little girls...it maybe because I had 3 son's so now I have my daughter's:thumbup: I am going to visit an elderly lady tomorrow, who has to move into a retirement home and can't take her little girl..:cry: She is very upset about this but is looking for a home for her little yorkie. So I am visiting her with the intention of adopting her little yorkie. She is 5yrs old & my little yorkie is 8 1/2. My husband has a little dachund..so this little thing will have to get used to a little family of furry sister's. :aimeeyork Good luck with your search :animal-pa your's in gorgeous yorkies avebo:aimeeyork |
Good luck, hope it works out. :) Thanks! |
