It does sound like you have a lot on your plate right now. Much like a marriage, it really is easier to call the whole thing off before rather than after. I'm sure you'll have a puppy that fits into your life sometime in the future. All the best to you.
I did ask the shelter about Daisy (at least she has a name now), she is 26 pounds and about 4 years old, I didn't learn much else other than she doesn't have much time.

@dcmclcm4:
Is there anyone who could see this B Mix to determine if she is actually a B or perhaps a Shiba Inu? It is not a good picture as it appears that it was taken when she was in a truck cage/kennel. This shelter used to have a reputation of not being very good. Here is her Petfinder website:

He is just a joy! I wanted to take him home myself! What a sweet boy. He is getting fixed on fri, and I will let you know when we have found a home for him.
I took him 200 miles in the car and he was crated…not one peep...
Someone will hit the jackpot with him!
Most of my shelters call basenji rescue when they get a basenji in.
That is because selling a basenji to a family who hasn't a clue to what they are getting, makes the dog come back to the shelter.
They know basenji rescue is a good thing.
I hope someone can get him out.
Maybe they can send a family who has been screened to the shelter to adopt it out directly.
That would be better then the dog being left in the shelter, imo.
