Thanks for the encouragement. I'm looking at a mutt (we're not sure what she is and they haven't put up her adoption page yet because she just had puppies) who is about a year old, but very calm and easygoing. She's a little bigger than my fbf's dog, who is 25 lbs. FBF spent a little time with her at an event over the weekend and sent me pictures. She also wanted me to look at a small chihuahua mix with some special needs, but she has since applied to adopt that one herself. It looks like she's going to adopt 2 dogs for a total of 3.
Tonight, I found a Papillon/Corgi mix (fbf's dog is a Corgi/Sheltie mix) whose personality sounds perfect for me. They describe him as needing calm and quiet and being very laid back and snuggly. He's at a different rescue group and his adoption fee is higher, but he's also been chipped and I don't think the first dog has.
I'll keep you posted. It's at least exciting to think about. I get fbf's dog again overnight on Saturday.
