Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first
ADOPTED ON 06-04-22 : The grief and guilt of a home owner deciding to rehome a dog is difficult and sad for the dog and the owner. It is perhaps even more sharply painful than dealing with heartache after a losing a pet to death. Most of our pets’ deaths are natural and caused by old age or ill health. The feelings of loss, shame, and guilt caused by rehoming a dog is traumatic and everlasting. (72 words)
Each dog has its own unique personality and behaviors. Griff is one of those fluffy dogs that enjoys running around for hours even in cold, wet weather. He is confident and loves making friends with new people and pets. His patience is superb compared to other small dogs. His foster and previous owner describe him as a very sweet natured little man. He has the softest fur you could imagine! He greets everyone he meets with a “howdy”, loves life, gets along with other dogs and cats and his foster’s granddaughters love playing with him.
Owners giving up their pets are a new rescue stories that have emerged due to surging prices; everything is getting more expensive. Transportation, gas, household furnishing, used cars, travel, food and health are just to name a few consumer prices have grown steadily. The ongoing pandemic has complicated supply chains, limiting supply, even as demand for goods soars. Meet Griff, a 7lb Pomeranian that needs to be rehomed and a victim of surging prices.
Griff is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative and in excellent health! He will be a wonderful addition to any home! He looks forward to cuddle time with his foster family. It is noted that he needs to be contained inside a fenced yard or else kept on a leash because he is curious and fast! Everyone he meets in his fosters hair salon absolutely adore Griff! He enjoys his walks and knows the value of a soft pillow.
GRIFF BEING TESTED FOR HEARWORM
He is such a good boy
It is important to do your research when choosing a breed of dog for your family. Especially when children are involved, as you want a perfect fit so everyone, including your new dog, is happy. Of course, we always stress that NO dog should ever be left alone, unsupervised, with young children until everyone has adapted to the change.
The Pomeranian Spitz Mix is a true “toy” dog. They are easily recognized by their lush fluffy double coat and foxy face with alert and prick ears. A thick ruff around the neck completes the picture of a dog that could handle the snows of northern Germany. (50 words)
Pomeranians are generally perky, friendly little dogs. They do not seem to realize they are small in stature. They are active little dogs that do need daily exercise, even if it is just a walk around the block. They are quite intelligent and do well in obedience competitions despite a small independent streak. As they age, they are more amenable to being truly lap dogs.
Griff good at learning new tricks, he sometimes can be suspicious of strangers and become alert and curious about the world around him. In his mind, he thinks that he is much larger then he really is. True to the breed he has the “big dog” attitude.
Because of their small stature, Pomeranians may not be a good fit for families with very young children. They are cute, furry, gutsy, intelligent, and loyal to their families. These independent, bold pets have minds of their own. While Poms can be good with some children, they are not a good choice for very young or highly active children because of their small size. It’s important to never let small children play with your Pomeranian without supervision.
Pomeranians typically don’t respond well to sudden or sharp movements and sounds. Unfortunately, the behaviors of little children may be sudden or loud, and this will most likely make a Pomeranian uncomfortable and anxious.
Dog owners that have to choose to rehome their pets is new and very difficult for those that make the decision that they cannot afford to keep their dogs. Owners have a special place in their hearts for the dogs they have to give up. They remember how good it felt to play, hold, hug, laugh and after a long day saying as they come through the door, “Hey Buddy, Come Here” their dog comes running up to them with a wag and smile. They will always have a place in their heart and soul—they will always love them.
Griff is looking for lots of love and attention. He would love to sit with you while watching TV or reading. Hanging out in a quiet environment with his humans and family is dream home. Are you the special adopter to provide Griff with the caring home he deserves?
