Story
LEONARDIn Foster HomeDo you have room in your heart for a special-needs dog? We can tell from the way he bobs his head when stressed and circles and spins when he is excited that he has something unique going on in his little head. If we had to guess his breed, we think a terrier mix with maybe some Boston terrier, chihuahua or French bulldog in there. Leonard loves the company of other dogs and would make a great playmate for a dog who enjoys a good game of chase or wrestling. He really needs another dog around in order to be happy. Leonard has come a long way toward being potty trained, given ample opportunities to go outdoors. He also is using potty pads indoors. He has a beautiful shiny blue coat which makes him stand out from the pack. He likes to hang out with the people without having to sit on a lap or be cuddled too much. He seems to be mesmerized by things daily and is always cocking his head in the cutest way. His foster mom works from home and he LOVES that. If you have dreams of him being an obedience champion, you’ll have to let those go. He really is a very simple fella who just wants a good home with a playful dog or two and some people who will be around a lot and let him be who he is. DOB 3/15/22 18 PoundsI'm waiting for a home to call my own. email webmaster@petrefuge.com to learn more about me or fill out an application at https://www.petrefuge.com/adoptPet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes.

Story
This little man has a great chihuahua personality! He has been through a lot in his years, yet he is so sweet, gentle and navigates his world quietly. Sammy does well with most dogs and cats. We are advising a home with no young children as they may overwhelm him. Sammy loves walks, adventures and his people. If you love the beach, that is a particular favorite of his.

Story
Kacey is a six week old Pomeranian and Cocker Spaniel Mix. Parents pictures are included.  Their dad is 6 lbs and the mom is 18 lbs.   I do expect them to be closer to the Mom's weight since they are already 4 lbs.    Kacey is fun and adventurous and loves to play.  She definitely has more energy than her sister and can hold her own. Her mom and her play often.   Kacey is currently litter box training which can easily be transitioned to her new home and then outside.  We do this to teach them to potty in one location based on texture and smell.   We started around 4 weeks old. While she is still learning she is doing great!    This is a smart and vibrant puppy and we are looking for an active family willing to jump right into puppy classes using positive reinforcement.   She is scheduled for a spay at 12 weeks old which we will cover at our vet in Plymouth.  She can go home after 8 weeks as a foster until her spay is completed at 12 weeks old. She will have age appropriate vaccines, a microchip, bordatella and prevention.   Once approved, we will set up a day/time for you to meet her.  Please be ready to take her home within 1-3 days after application approval if she is age appropriate.  *We do not accept electric/underground fences. All dogs & cats in the home must be spayed/neutered & up to date on core vaccines & preventatives in order for your application to be approved.* Please live within 1 hour of Elkhart, Indiana ##2609232##

Lacey is a six week old Pomeranian and Cocker Spaniel Mix. Parents pictures are included.  Their dad is 6 lbs and the mom is 18 lbs.   I do expect them to be closer to the Mom's weight since they are already 4 lbs.    Lacey is fun and adventurous and loves to play.  She is more inquisitive and loves to take in her surroundings. She hops like a bunny and her little growls are so cute.  I do have a slight suspicion she may be impaired with vision or hearing. Sometimes she doesn't see or hear like I think she should and others she is fine.  Please keep this in mind while applying. She may need extra training help as she ages.   Lacey is currently litter box training which can easily be transitioned to her new home and then outside.  We do this to teach them to potty in one location based on texture and smell.   We started around 4 weeks old.
