Thank you so much everyone! I knew I could count on you all to advise me in the right way
My hubby and I are going to go over to the shelter as soon as it opens today (noon) so he can see her and interact with her. I'm thinking of inviting the neighbors to go with us because they are dog people too

This little dog has shiny black eyes, and she has a mini doxie build but her fur is a little bit longer and silkier. She has a foxy face, sort of like a pom face perhaps? She's all black, but when the sun hits her fur, you can see copper or brown highlights. She has some white bun hair
Hmmm....names...I hadn't thought of that. I'm all about unique sounding names and she looks like she would have a whimsical type name I've always liked Koskha (means cat in Russian) and she would be just one of the cats, right? LOL

Too bad her probation period isn't over today! I'll have to wait until tomorrow to bring her home, but as long as I have my name first in line, everything should go ok. I will let you know how our visit goes today!

**hugs**
