Seeking advice on adopting my second puppy
 

Hope all are well
I have decided to adopt .. And I'm torn between tow beautiful puppies
I have a 7 months old male yorkie " Henry " and some here have mabey read my thread about his sad story ..
This little guy has been through a lot .. Thank God he is recovering and regaining confidence but very slow ..
Because of his situation I want to be extra carful about choosing the new puppy..
There is a 5 month old Male Pomeranian that desperately needs home .. And when I say desperately I meen adopting him will save his life ! I was told that he has a strong personality and been socialized with large rough dogs .
The other is a 3 month old female yourkie that needs a home but not despretly as she is so cute and if I don't take her someone eals will..
I really want to save the Pomeranian but I'm afraid that having him will stress Henry .. He is still delicate .
Members with more than on pet .. What is your experience on this issue
Need to replay to shelter in 5 days
All the best

Deep down I know the little girl should be the one .. And you are absolutely right .. Henry comes first ,
I felt sorry for that pamoranian but again you are right .. Can't help them all 💔
Anyway we are so excited
And can't wait
A cute pup will join the family very soon 😀

Thank you
You are absolutely right .. I need to step back from my emotions.. the minute I herd about the Pom I got confused.. you literally described what's happening here.
Henry is my priority now
Will update on this thread soon
Thank you again 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

With Henry making slow progress in his confidence, IMO, getting this male Pomeranian who has a "strong" personality and is use to being around large "rough" dogs has "learned" to be "rough". IMO this would not be good for Henry who is still learning to trust his new world of gentleness. IMO I believe this Pom will be to rough with Henry, and Henry will regress, what ever confidence he has now can vanish being around this little rough Pom. IMO I believe the little girl will be a better fit for your Henry, this is just my opinion. Good luck is making the right choice for Henry.

I agree
Your right and it makes sense..
I already spoke to the shelter and we are arranging bringing the little yourkie "Luna" to her new home ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you 😊

I'm so excited
Im sure Henry will be happy 😊
And lots of pictures will be taken
Will update as soon as we settle 😄

Just wonderful, I am soooo excited for you. Wish I could the look on Henry's face when he sees his new lil sister. You have made a wonderful decision for Henry's happiness. Bless you for saving these two precious puppies. I love Luna's name (((hugs))).

I will surly post pictures ones she arrives by next week ..
Thank you 🙏🏻

congrats! I have fostered many - many - dogs and puppies and some have stuck with us ... I have learned over the years that I like a certain personality - and all my dogs need to get along well with each other- it makes for a peaceful and positive family environment. As much as I like to " save" every dog out there - some are not a good fit for us ( no matter how urgent their placement is) and sometimes I have to find them a new foster home asap! Especially dominant ones are an issue as my own dogs are on the shy and fearful side. I can deal with fear, potty issues, health problems, matted coats and I like getting fearful and shy dogs to relax - but having an overly dominant dog in our family spells disaster. I just found a wonderful home for a little dominant rascal- cute as a button but even at the tender age of 12 weeks humped everything in sight and terrified my older dogs- to the point were my older dog did not want to fetch anymore ( his favorite thing ever!) ... Bella on the other hand - who was supposed to find a home will stay because all 3 of my dogs love her - it is almost like she was made for our family. When people say they get a puppy they often expect a " blank slate" - I find that every puppy is different and they come with their own personality ... behavior can be modified but in the end certain personality traits are just genetic .

That is so true inborn personality traits. Personally I like a confident and even dominate dog as I have a lot of experience with those types.

We are very willing to crate n rotate and train one on one. Which is always necessary that is to train.

Well said 👍🏼
I have no experience as Henry is my first , but you just drew a clear picture of what can happen if iv went with the Pom
Thank you 😊

Update: Luna is here ❤️
 

Hi everyone
Is been a busy week for me and Henry ..
Luna is here but smaller than we expected Lol
And when I say small I mean really SMALL
Now idea how old she is but we will make a visits to the vet very soon and we will check the teeth ..
she looks less the 8 weeks .. But we will see as I have zero experience in telling age .
Im seeing a side of Henrys personality that I did not know it existed ..
My baby is so happy And I'm so glad we brought Luna home
Thank you all for helping me take the right dissuasion
Check out the photos ❤️❤️

Another picture of Luna

she is absolutely adorable! What a handsome couple these two will make - he looks very happy for sure about his new sister! Yorke puppies all seem very small to me ... we have a very much " standard" sized puppy - 3.1lb at almost 14 weeks but she looks small even compared to my 6lb maltese mix ... I never understood the need for teacup dogs ... 5-6lb dogs are tiny in my book - my Lhasa looks HUGE at 20 lb and I am seriously worried about roughhousing with the puppy lol ...
The two girls wrestle all day though and Bella has gained a bunch of muscle I am sure ...

Henry has come so far with your love and care and looks to me like he has proudly taken on the role of big brother to baby Luna and nobody better mess with his little sidekick! They're both ridiculously adorable! You most assuredly made the right choice in adopting such a tiny, kinda helpless Yorkie girl--another wonderful life saved. And for sure, it is absolutely the right decision for Henry--an ego boost and confidence builder what with having Luna looking to him for guidance, etc.! Such a beautiful family---you all warm my heart and you prove miracles happen again and again...!

She is ADORABLE ! They look like the perfect pair & I'm so happy you saved them both.

So adorable ❤️❤️
Ohh and roughhousing yes this was my concern too
Lol

They are both adorable. Congratulations!

thank you for your replays .. every time means a lot
And
"ego boost and confidence builder what with having Luna looking to him for guidance"
ABSOLUTELY!! I can see changes already
🙏🏼🙏🏼

How exciting, how wonderful you choose little girl Luna, she is just adorable, 8 weeks old OMG a wee little baby, just to precious, you are an angel for saving two little lives. You will see a new Henry, a happy Henry, a confident Henry now that he has a BFF. Bless you for rescuing and thinking about the best for little Henry (((hugs)))
