Hi Traci, I feel your struggle I have had the same one for 3 years (still a one Yorkie owner).
How old is Brutus? In my opinion I am in agreement with your Husband on the waiting part. That would give you time to really find the perfect fur baby to add to your family.
As far as being a foster for a Rescue, of course you would be helping in giving a Yorkie a new home/life. My problem is with Fostering I am not sure I could give the dog up. You could take some time, explore some good rescues in your area, volunteer with them and see if Fostering is the right thing for you (I volunteer at a local rescue here in Atlanta, I now know I could never Foster but I go every Saturday and do the morning dog chores for 30 dogs).
One other comment I wanted to make is please be careful when researching getting a dog on Craigslist. I have seen some stories on Yorkie Talk from people who thought they were getting a GREAT Yorkie and sometimes it was not as represented. There are some Yorkie Talk members in Indiana who may be able to help you find a good breeder locally. I know there are a few Yorkie Talk members in Michigan who are breeders and they have really good reputations.
Good luck, I hope everything works out for you.
