should I?

If he is still available should I get him? Or do you think he will have lots of health problems?

If he's a runt, that could cause problems since they tend to have more ailments. But, if he's eating and thriving, knowing me, I'd go for it!

I just think how happy they would be to have a forever home. I'm a sappy person though and can be easily swayed by emotion.

If he has made it to 11 weeks and seems to be doing ok he'll probably be alright, but with any rescue, you can never be 100% sure.

I want him but I am afraid to apply because they probably won't choose me because I'm 19

I don't really know your situation .....do u live with your parents are they ok with this....if they aren't don't do it as they may resent the dog.....if they are maybe they will help you get the little guy......If the little boston is 11wks and eems to be doing ok I wouls ay that he should be fine but you have to be prepared for health isues in the future.

They shouldn't hold it against you as long as you prove yourself responsible. They may, however, have other applicants that have fenced in yards or more "ideal" living accomidations even though he'd probably do fine in an apartment. Will you be able to pay for any health issues that may be involved with having the 'runt' of the litter? You're going to know you're situation (financial and living) better than any of us. Personally, I love having 2 dogs because they can keep each other occupied when I cannot.

I agree with Dignity I prefer having 2 dog togehter or more so they can eep each other company.... but if you and your BF are unalbe to pay for medical bills or other issues I would prbaly say no you houldn't got for it....and as for them taing an interest in you for this little guy that should be no prob as long as you have proper housing and care hey hould not descriminate....you should also be old enough and let them know you already have a dog.
