Help, I have a decision to make....

O.K. Here goes. Its going to get long... As some of you know I have 2 wolfdogs , Voden & Macha. Voden was a simi rescue case. My wife spotted him being offered on freecycle. His owner was a college kid who didn't have time between his work & schooling to spend with Voden & his neighbor was helping him find a good home for him. I respect the guy for knowing he was in over his head & wanting to find a suitable home for Voden. When we went to see him Voden was on a logging chain in the back yard with no fence. A bad situation waiting to happen. A week later ( I visited him daily ) he came home with us. he now gives the Big Bad Wolf a bad name by being the biggest teddybear you've ever seen. After getting Voden my wife & I spent a good while looking for a companion for him so he wouldn't be alone. After a while we found Macha posted on a WD rescue site. She'd been saved from a puppy mill where she had been bred far to young. We jumped through the usual hoops & they brought her to us. She's now part of the family as well. The two hounds bonded well. Now the delima. My wife & I have discussed the possibility of adding a third hound, preferably another needy WD from a rescue situation. The other day I cam across one on freecycle. He's a 14 month old husky/wolf. He's very well behaved & housetrained, got all his shots , the works. The owner however is afraid of keeping him because they have very young kids. The Wd gets excited whenever he sees something small running about. So far its just been to play but this isn't a good situation. My family went to see him last night. He's pretty small ( compared to my hounds ) & has very little if any wolf in him. He would easily pass as a plain husky. He's not really a problem case & they could find him a good home pretty easily. He could also come to mine where he can work off his puppy energy playing with Voden. Now I have to decide if I should take him or keep the space open for a Wd in greater need & there are lot of higher content Wds in need. Any input would be appreciated.
