Sorry I did not have my computer on me all day.

OMG he was soooo sweet!!! I picked him up and he just made himself right at home in my car. I put a little hoodie on him that did not fit Jackson anymore (he was a tiny guy!) My Jackson was looking at me like "Why is he in here?!" lol. I took him to my dads house where he got along great with their two dogs too. I let him run around in the back yard for a bit and he was sooo happy! He was a sweetheart- he loved to be held and loved on. He is very submissive when you reach down to pick him up, he like rolls over on his back. He is playful and has a lot of energy but he's not really hyper. My dad fell in love with him. He said he would have kept him had he not had 2 dogs already.

So had him there for a few hours until the rescue lady whom we had met before and we adopted our dog from could meet me. I brought him to the place and she told me she could either help me out by listing him on petfinder, etc, and me keeping him but I'd have to pay for everything. Or I could be his official foster but then I'd have to be able to come on a whim whenever someone wanted to meet him, or to an event, etc. I decided to leave him there... I actually cried I only had this dog one day and I got so attached, it makes me sooo mad that the person who has had him all of his life wasn't even THERE to say goodbye or anything... like I was just picking up a box or a toy or something. I know he's in good hands, this rescue is awesome, they are SO great, they have tons of foster homes available, and she thinks he will be adopted really quick. We've had 2 interested already from my craigslist ad but I am taking him off there, as I don't trust CL people and they are going to put him on petfinder.

He did have demodox mange and that was what was contributing to the hair loss and itchy. I am just so glad I got him out of that situation. Susan from the rescue said I can visit any time. I just hope they let me take the female Doxy too eventually, I wanna get her out of there also...

He's gonna have a great home, I just know it. He rode great in the car, he warmed up to all of us real fast, he's house broken, gets along great with kids and other dogs!

Here are some pics!
