Carole, I understand how you feel as I'm in the same situation right now. So many shelter pups are stealing my heart (especially Bongo), but I know deep down that I can't afford the vet costs of another dog nor do I have the room. (Add on top of that my possible eviction if the landlord caught me with two dogs).

Some day when I'm in a real home and more stable financially, Andy and I will add a second dog to our lives.

But now is just not the time, as much as it pains me.

The decision may be hard, but it'll work out in the end.
