My fiance and I already have one dog and were CONSIDERING getting another dachshund puppy this summer. However, his sister is being given a 4 y/o Yorkshire Terrier. She can't take it and wants us too. We have dog-sat him and he's seems to be a good little dog. He'll probably need some minor vet/rehab work and to be re-potty/general trained. But he is papered and neutered. And at least he used to get along with our other dog. Anyway, we really aren't ready for this! We're planning on at least telling her that she needs to try to find a different home and we'll take him if she can't. Or should we just say no? Once we have the thing we wil have to keep him (otherwise the sister will have a fatal meltdown). My fiance and I are a little cautious about getting into something so important yet spontaneous. When we got our first dog we were 200% sure; this doesn't feel right! HOWEVER, he's a divorce reject
(and been neglected), if he becomes permanent-home-less I'll feel AWFUL. What do we do?!

If it doesn't feel right, then it's not. The situation you describe sounds like a good way to be in a war with your sister in law for a long time if for some reason it doesn't work out. Follow your gut instinct and tell her no! Go to AKC.org and look up 'breeds' and then go to the yorkie breed page and follow that to the parent club for that breed. They will have a pure breed rescue that can match a yorkie up with a great home.
good luck

Yorkies are in high demand. Suggest that your future sister-in law place an ad in the paper. That dog will be picked up within a week. Seniors love those little dogs, so even a trip to the local senior center can result in a happy home. If you are stuck with the dog there is no reason why you can't find the dog a home.

I would say No , you are unsure all ready that´s even before you get the dog . So best to just tell them the truth
