Aly, I agree with Pam, the decision should be made by Lolly, Reece and kitty. I was in sort of the same situation, there was a Schnauzer in the shelter here in San Diego which one never sees and I wanted to adopt, but cooler heads prevailed knowing that Perry would never stand for a another male to come in the mix and this Schnauzer was a three year old male same age as Perry. and I called the Schnauzer rescue and they are going to find a home for the Schnauzer.
Aly I think eventually you are going to have to buy a very large house.
