Puppiness?

So we went to the local municipal humane society today to look for a new member of the family -- and while there were some cute, cute, cuties there, we did not put in an application.

First, most of the dogs were much too large for an apartment. It just wouldn't be fair to a larger dog to coop him/her up in an apartment without a yard.

There were a few smaller dogs which we asked about, but the more likely candidates already had two and three applications for adoption filed. So we decided to ask about the pooches who had not yet received applications. We met a spunky little American Eskimo pooch (toy size), and he was a sweetie. Very easy-going temperament and fun. But then we found out that even though he was on the list of "no interest yet", he did actually have two families asking for him. So we decided not to make an application. We did really take a shine to a pit bull mix who had a very sweet face, but she or he was just too big. (As an aside, it was interesting how many pit bulls there were there -- perhaps because some municipalities have passed ordinances against them... Very sad to think those guys won't get homes.)

And we left without filing any papers for any pooches, but it was good to go and look. We are told that this particular facility gets many, many animal every day so we should check in often. And we will go back. We aren't wedded to getting a puppy, but we definitely need the pooch to be small. After we got home, we discussed it some more and decided that maybe if we could find a sibling/family pair, that we'd try to adopt two together. That way, they would have company when we aren't home. We figured that two small ones isn't twice the work and expense of one, but just marginally more.

Or are we crazy? What do you think? Advice please!
