I am glad that he's cute, young and feisty for that very reason. I would have done the same thing for an adult or even elderly dog but the long term outlook may not have been so good.

I don't know about Oz, but here in NZ it's actually really difficult to get a dog adopted from the pound. The most adorable tiny puppy turned up on our doorstep, starving and cold in the rain, so we took it in, fed it etc. We already have a young dog so we couldn't keep it. The SPCA wouldn't take it because it wasn't sick or injured, and the pound said they'd keep it for a week and then it would be killed if no one took it, and they said the chances of adoption were slim to none, especially for a mongrel. In the end we just gave him away to a nice family, free to a good home in the paper - there was no way I was going to let the little guy die.
Good on you for helping it out.
