Help me find a home for this baby!

Laura, do they think he's full grown? How would you describe his personality and is he neutered?
We have 4 little kids, plus a cat and a doxie. We love all kinds of critters and have enough space, but I'll have to talk to DH. The doxie is really high maintenance, so he's not feeling too happy about being a pet owner, but this one is such a cutie and the kids want a puppy... Do you think he could handle our crowd, or would it be too much?

me too! My kids happened to see the pic when I was showing my SO the other night and they fell in love with him. I'm having a hard time. I honestly am.
BUMPITY BUMP for Laura to see Grace's post!

Grace, he's full grown. I'd say he's 3 YO maximum, he might be a bit younger. I don't know if he's neutered. He is SO well behaved--I mentioned before he's housebroken & he knows "sit." I haven't had enough time w/him to find out what other commands he knows. I think he'd be fine w/your brood--he was passed from person to person in town hall when he was first found, he was overwhelmed w/attention, then he went home w/my coworker & her 2 large dogs, he seemed to take everything in stride. He's been through so much the last few weeks, I really hope he finds his forever home soon! Like with YOU Grace!
Thanks! DH is out of town for a few days but I briefly talked to him late last night (before I read your post, above). He's on the 'no' side, but to be fair, it's because our cat (Mr. B) is really a problem for us right now...he's about 17 years old and, among other symptoms, has been getting more 'accident prone' if you KWIM. Lots of clean up and preventative maintenance on our part. I think he's not himself but have been putting off taking him to the vet because I really don't think there's much to be done.
<sigh> It's such a hard thing. If I agreed to have the cat taken in (with no expectation of him coming home, if you get my drift) I think I could sway DH. My gut feeling is that Mr. B won't be with us to the end of the year, as it is. I'm just having a hard time letting go.
Back to the little guy of this topic, though - how long will the shelter keep him? I'm really sad thinking about him there all by himself, especially if he did have a good home before...

Awwww. Poor Mr. B. I know of what you speak, I had a 90 lb mutt losing control toward the end, quite a mess & so awful for the animal. I'm so sorry you have to go through this Grace.
It's a no-kill shelter so they'll keep him forever. I just worry about him there b/c it's so poorly run, & last I heard the girl who found him wanted to adopt him. I'm concerned about this b/c she's a college student (even though I got Cosmo my first year of college, not all college kids are very responsible if ya know what I mean). We're pretty sure the little dude's last owner was a college kid who decided the cutie was cramping his/her party schedule.
I think he'll be adopted very quickly. The problem is by whom. I want to pick his new home myself dammit!
