Because I give a more in depth look at the things I juggle regarding the animal care on this platform and you see what goes into all the non-domestic animals, I wanted to come here to ask you opinion on whether or not I should keep this puppy. Im very torn on the subject so here is my pros and cons list:

Pros:

-Good with the small animals

-Great listener

-Learns quickly

-Newt adores him

-It would be nice to have a younger dog while Moose is still around so that he has a good role model

-Eventually Chewy will live with Jake again and Moose has horrible separation anxiety without another dog in the house

-My mom found him so keeping him is somewhat sentimental


Cons:

-I’m not sure the foxes will adapt to him

-If the foxes don’t adapt it’s just another reason for them to be indoors less, which I already hate

-If the foxes don’t adapt it’s another animal to rotate around them


-I have less help now and dogs require far more personal attention than the exotic animals do. Dogs crave attention which means less time for the other animals.

Lastly, (this isn’t really a pro or a con) but he could very well find a wonderful home that isn’t here. Anyone could give this puppy a great life and I’ve already had many, many offers. He does not need me the way that other animals have and do.

What are your thoughts?

There are more pros than cons and he clearly fits in well. With training I think the foxes will warm to him. It might not be easy to find a dog that gets in so well with the smaller animals… and Moose sounds like he needs a dog companion

I know it can be a hard choice when adding a new animal to your family. And you have a unique situation where animals are not only family but also your chosen life purpose. I also think, from videos you've posted, that Howie is already yours. He is clearly part of the family. That doesn't mean that you can't find him another home that he will be happy in, but he has your heart. You posted the video of the foxes meeting Chewie and it seemed like they weren't sold on him at first either. I think you can can help them adjust. I also think that Moose getting old and having a puppy that knows him and can learn from him is a really really big reason to keep him. Just personally. We have a 12 year old GSD rescue dog who has been with us for about 10 years and adopted a pit/boxer mix from a rescue a few years ago for that reason, and it's worked well. Not only that, but I can tell that as Lady loses her hearing and slows down she really relies on Mudge to support her in a way we couldn't.

Keep the puppy. He’s a unique fella that found his way to you for a reason. Moose needs the domestic canine support, too!

I vote keep. He's very well trained and seems patient. Based on the latest June/Howie video she may accept him with time

Everyone had great reasons why to keep and I'm just going to say all of those reasons + my vote to keep him as well! From the videos you've shared his temperament is amazing. That's like finding a needle in a haystack.

I just saw your latest video of the wee guy responding to training 😍 another vote for keep. He came into your life for a reason.

I would adopt him out personally. Juniper is getting older, I'm not sure I'd push her with a new puppy, especially since Figgy wasn't a huge fan when he met the puppy.

Keep! We call that having an emergency backup dog - it is so difficult to go from a home with a dog to a home with no dog.....and this puppy seems to be a good emotional match. It may be hard to find that again.

Honestly, I think you’d regret it if you gave him a different home. Like, yes, the foxes might not adapt and that would be sad but there’s progress it seems? And further, if/when Moose goes, knowing how much you love him, having a young dog can help with that a lot. But mostly because it’s hard to find a dog so trainable, snuggly, and good with small animals, that you’ll miss a lot if he goes.

i joined patreon to weigh in on this one - i vote keep him! if the foxes are reacting better than you would expect and he’s still a puppy, i think he has great potential 🥲
