My story

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

Meet Halsin!

Halsin is a former encampment dog who lived through some very tough conditions, but now that he finally knows safety and comfort, he’s more than ready for a life of comfort - and he deserves every bit of it.

Halsin is a lovely Pomeranian boy who strikes the perfect balance between couch-potato charm and outdoor-adventure enthusiasm. He’s equally happy loafing by your side or joining you on a leisurely walk, and he loves the rain just as much as clear skies. No weather fazes this guy.

Halsin is emotionally sensitive in the sweetest way. He absolutely thrives on being near his people and is a true shadow dog for anyone who wants a quiet, affectionate companion. Snuggling, walkies, and constant gentle companionship are his love languages. He would shine in a home where someone works from home or simply enjoys having a dog as a steady presence throughout the day.

Halsin is crate trained and nondestructive. He sleeps well in his crate overnight (though he’d rather happily curl up in bed with you given the chance!) He is potty trained, with only a couple marking incidents early on when new dogs were introduced inside the home.

He is great with grooming once basic trust is established — nails, brushing, baths… especially if rotisserie chicken is involved. Halsin learns quickly, responds beautifully to gentle correction, and genuinely wants to please. He’s emotionally sensitive and very intelligent.

Halsin gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is endlessly patient with his rambunctious foster sister. His corrections towards her have been few and appropriate. He would do well in a home with or without other dogs, though if there are other pets, he still needs plenty of human interaction — people are his true north.

If you like a very physically affectionate dog that wants to be on or around you at all times, then this is your boy. He would not be a good match for anyone who prefers dogs that are more independent and like to have their own space.

He warms up to new people within minutes, especially women (his clear favorite). With men, he can be briefly cautious, but he has warmed quickly to his foster dad and kind male visitors. His instincts from his past sometimes make him alert around strange men (especially at night) or at the door, but he is not a barker by nature otherwise. He will sometimes be protective of his foster mom on walks (again mostly at night) towards strange dogs and people.

It took about two weeks for Halsin’s full personality to blossom in his foster home, but once it did, a warm, goofy, deeply affectionate boy emerged! He’s the kind of dog who weaves himself into your routine and your heart. His foster family describes him as one of the hardest dogs not to keep, and that says everything.

Halsin is extraordinary. He is ready for a home that will adore him, include him, and let him finally live the cherished life he’s earn.

He will be vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $450
