Almost losing hope in adopting... Hi, I have been looking through the internet as well as local rescues and shelters for a up to 3 years old, 5 lbs male yorkie to adopt. I have been trying to get a companion for my mother's 3 1/2 year old 5 lbs yorkie who is spayed and scared of dogs bigger than her. I have lost count on how many applications I have sent to rescues and shelters, and how many rescues and shelters I have contacted. We get rejected just because we live in Puerto Rico and honestly I don't understand why. |

Many rescues won't adopt out to locations where they can't do a home visit. And some will only adopt to their rescue's zip code or very close surrounding areas. Some only adopt out to their residing state. I've seen some pretty strict guidelines (we've adopted two Yorkies from rescue groups) when it comes to rescues. They just want to ensure the dog's well-being. Most places won't ship rescue dogs because they've usually been through a lot of trauma in their life and shipping an already scared dog wouldn't be in its best interest. Don't give up hope though, perhaps you can find one who understands your circumstances and location. Best wishes to you. |
I finally did!! Yorkie Havem Rescue gave us the opportunity to adopt a pup!!! We are so excited and we are flying over this weekend to pick him up!!!!! :D |
Oh my gosh yayyyyyy!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Congrats on your new baby! Please post pics when you can :) |
Here's our new baby in the family 1 Attachment(s) Here is Simba!! |
Oh my goodness what a gorgeous boy!!! He is too precious for words!!! I know you are over the moon excited and I am so happy for you. |
Yes I am!! He ended up being 1 pound, 2 inches bigger and 2 years older than Nala but he has such a great personality that we know they will get along great!! Can't wait to meet him this saturday!! |
He's going to be so loved and spoiled that I really hope he loves it here in Puerto Rico. My mom and I have a dream of someday being able to become foster moms for pups and have a rescue of our own. Right now we can't because of our jobs but someday I hope we can. Puerto Rico needs an eye opener when it comes to animal rights. There's hardly any dog parks here and there's too many strays. We want to be able to make a difference hands on. I can't work with all breeds due to my allergies but whatever I can do I will. |
How absolutely wonderful, I am so very happy for you. This is going to be one spoiled little boy with all the searching you have done. He is just adorable....... yayyy Yorkie Haven. |
Congratulations! He is adorable. Yorkie Haven is great :) I'm glad you finally found your baby. |
