Brady arrived with the kind of heartbreak you can feel as soon as you meet a pup. Thirteen and a half years old, a tiny Pomeranian with a big history, suddenly uprooted after his mom’s dementia made it impossible for her to keep caring for him. He’s confused, scared, and trying his best to be brave while his whole world has changed overnight.
He met the other dogs politely, kept his distance, and walked gently on leash, but you can see him scanning every corner for something familiar. He doesn’t love being picked up, and who can blame him?! His hips ache with arthritis, his heart murmurs along, and he’s back on the urinary diet that keeps those bladder stones at bay. What he needs now is simply a soft place to land and someone patient enough to let him exhale.
Brady has lived well with another dog before, understands yard-to-leash life, and will happily shout about whatever he thinks needs announcing (including the outrageous act of you sitting at the table to eat without him). He’s been shaved down because brushing isn’t his thing, and he’s a little unsure of crates. But deep down, he’s just a senior boy who lost his person and is trying to understand what comes next.
Brady will need someone calm, gentle, and willing to help him feel safe again. Could it be you?
Brady is approximately 13 years old and 9 lbs. More details to follow as we get to know him better.
