My husband and I are retired. I spent 35 years raising orphaned wildlife babies, and I am very well experienced in caring for very tiny animals. We are also fortunate to have a great Vet.
Our 1st Yorkie was a tiny, and she experienced health issues in the latter quarter of her 8th year, and was not expected to live to see her 9th birthday.
Not only did she see her 9th, she lived past her 13th.

Sheila,
If I had a puppy as tiny as this wee one, your home would be one I would seriously consider placing the pup in. One that is aware on how to care for a pup with an open fontanel, watch for hyperglycemia, any other problems a tiny might have. A wee one such as this, has high possibility of incurring vet bills. I wouldn't want to do that to anyone. In my words; I would gift a puppy such as this, or any puppy that hasn't reached 2 pounds by 16 weeks of age.
