How wonderful of you to see your circumstances through, and do what is best for the mother, you adopted, and the surprise package that came w/her...My previous "best friend", before my little yorkies, was an English Mastiff, from a reputable breeder, and I had to sign a contract, w/one of the stipulations being that she would be an indoor dog (there were others, I just thought this was very important to this breed)..They have two coats, not one, so the summer heat would be unbearable for them...She never spent a day of her life, outdoors, unless the weather was suitable for her...I had always planned to breed her, and her parents were certified hip dysplasia clear (one good, one excellent)...However, at her 18 month xray, she showed hip dysplasia...I had her spayed immediately (and I didn't send her back for a refund, I could have, based on the contract..)...It's what you do when you commit to a life-time of care for a pet;you keep them for a lifetime...Hats off to you and your loving and wise choices!!!!
