    Uh oh, Petfinder strikes again. I'm asking for this one!

    Here's the situation. About a month ago my cousin and I found a little black Pomeranian in my yard. We took him in and he was so sweet. We took him to our vet to check for a microchip, but he didn't have one. We called a bunch of police departments and told them if anyone called to call us. Long story short, his owners saw him in our yard and came and got him. Happy ending for him . My dad comes home from work and we tell him about the Pomeranian. He says, without thinking it through, "you should have just kept him." We knew we couldn't because the little guy had a family. However, this triggers my brain, and I think, 'he'd let me have one more!' For those of you that don't remember me (haven't been posting much lately), I have Sylvia the Pug, and Harley the JRT mix. Anyway, I was on petfinder.com and I found the perfect little guy and I think I'm going to ask my family about him. Here he is! He is so adorable!

    Toby!

    Let me know what you think of him and wish me luck with my family.

    Toby is darling! I think he'd be "perfect" for your two.
    Of which we need new pictures of, by the way.


    Good luck!

    He is really pretty! It sounds like he'd be a good addition to anyone's family! As long as they get along with him, he seems like he'd get along with anyone. Good luck!

    I think he is precious. As long as Sylvia and Harley are ready for a little brother, I say good luck.

    The only thing I'm worrying about is Harley. I know he won't hurt him, but when he meets new dogs or someone he doesn't know walks up to the yard he sounds vicious. He NEVER bit anyone or other dogs, but he can make some scary noises. I'm afraid the shelter is going to see that and say no way. My boyfriend brought his golden over to see Syl and Harley and Harley sounded like he was ready to fight. After about 30 seconds he wanted to be the Golden's best friend. He thinks he’s so tough sometimes!

    He's gorgeous, he looks like a white Possum. I think my mind would have clicked on too, with what your dad said. Good luck with things, I hope it turns out for you.

    I am sure you will be able to convince them otherwise - after all, who knows your Harley best? His Mum! Good luck

    Ok, here's the update. I went home and talked to my parents. My dad, who usually is the one to say no, didn't care. My mom was like, "no" until she saw my dad's reaction. She told me to call and see if he's still available. I don't think this is a shelter, I think it's a bunch of foster homes, so I'm waiting for someone to call me back. I wish they'd call back already!

    Toby sounds like he'd be grateful for a wonderful home like yours - he's shiba-inu & terrier? ooh, he'll be a little package of dynamite! Best wishes for everything working out!
