My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We would like to explain that if you are looking for a perfect dog, they are rarely found in rescue. Our dogs often have unknown histories and we do our very best to evaluate each dog with kids, cats, and other dogs as well as determine how they behave in a home. It is important to understand that we have some specific criteria for each dog based on their backgrounds and input from their foster families. The purpose of these criteria is to better match each dog with an appropriate family. While a certain dog might appeal to you based on breed, size, gender or appearance, you may not match the listed criteria. Please understand that we are not trying to make adoption difficult—we are trying to make each adoption successful for the dog and the new family.
PLEASE CLICK ON "READ MORE ABOUT THIS PET" FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION!
If you have children, we suggest that prior to applying for a dog, you view the website http://www.livingwithkidsanddogs.com. The information is excellent and can help you determine which dog would be right for your family.
Buddy is a tiny Pomeranian who is about six years young. He is well mannered and energetic. Buddy is used to having full reign of the furniture and bed and he lounges aroung peacefully with the other dogs. Buddy thrives with lots of walks, play and cuddle time, and loves to play with stuffed toys! He likes to be with his person all of the time and he is a little shadow that manages to stay out of the way amazingly enough. He is so tiny and light as a feather and needs his harness for walks, not his collar because he with it he will have bouts of coughing and a sensitive throat. Buddy prefers small gentle dogs that don’t challenge him. We are not sure about cats. He is getting better at leaving the Guinea pigs alone, though he is transfixed watching their comings and goings in their two story house. Buddy listens to basic commands and is very smart. Buddy figured out life in his foster home quickly and acts like he has always been here. He has been wonderful off lead in the fenced in school yard, and runs to beat the band.
Buddy needs to be with people that are energetic and can give him lots of attention and walks. They must love being the center of his world, as he will insist that he be their shadow where ever they go and whatever they do. He is good with other dogs and settles into his place easily, but they should be close to his size, as he is a tiny Pomeranian (5lbs) and needs special care. He would be great at agility training, he is nimble and athletic, and loves to toss his stuffed toys across the room in his enthusiastic play. We do not recommend children, large dogs, or aggressive cats. Buddy is perfectly house trained, learned how to use a doggie door on his first day in his foster home, but he is also able to ask to go outside. He listens well, and intentl;, he shows great promise with someone willing to discover his hidden abilities and treasures that he has learned over the years. Foster dad is still learning what tricks and commands he is familiar with, and what are his favorite things to do. He is a quick learner and wants to please please please. He is on a diet of kibble and soft food and gets medication twice a day for a seizure disorder. As long as he is on his meds he does not have seizures and the cost is under $15 per month. Buddy is with Happy Hound Rescue, a 501c3 all volunteer rescue and is in a foster home. He is neutered, had a full dental, is current on all shots, worming, and he has a HomeAgain microchip. His adoption fee is $300 plus a $50 neuter deposit.
