My mother who lives in the Middle East has been looking for a dog. we were looking for one for her when she was here over the summer, but had no luck. I refuse to buy a dog. I want to adopt one for her and send it as a present with my brother for the holidays. He leaves December 15.

They live in an apartment, so the breed has to be small (prefreably less than 14 lbs so it can ride in the cabin with my brother). Want a shorthaired doggy coz my dad doesn't like hair all over the place. Would prefer an already house broken dog and want an adult (1.5 years or older: out of the chewing phase). I would have to get her/him fixed before I sent it to its new home.

Any ideas on what kind of dog I am looking for?
