Story
Max is ready for adoption!  Max is a Chihuahua mix, who is 9lbs, crate trained, mostly potty trained.   Max is a sweet but timid little boy in search of a calm house with an available lap to snuggle the days away.  He's a tender heart-ed lovey and deserves an empathetic family to best serve him.   He's been great with older children and pays no attention to cats. He has very typical chihuahua characteristics, a little drama paired with so much love. He has a good routine for pottying and done well, but does have the occasional accident. Max does ok with dogs but doesn’t play nicely always so the resident dogs have set boundaries with him and they all coexist beautifully.  He would do well as an only dog or a dog who will be able to tell Max when they have had enough. There is no agression just a little awkwardness.   Max does well on a leash and does not require a fenced yard.   Please understand that Max is super sensitive and will absolutely take several weeks to settle in and get into a routine.  He needs someone who will be patient and have zero expectations of him.  The reward of patience will be so rewarding.  His adoption fee is covered so he is free to go home with an approved application.  Www.trackingintheshadows.com  ##2607057##

Story
I know someone has been holding out for a hero and here he is!  Hero ‍is a 7 year old Pomeranian looking for his forever home. He came to the rescue after his owner passed away along with his siblings.  Hero is a sweet boy who is shy at first but will be your best friend with time and patience. He does well with other adult dogs and likes to play! Hero would do best in a home with older children who understand boundaries and manners. At this time, he is crate trained, knows sit and is still potty training. I suggest a belly band if not watching him closely. He does well on a leash and does not require a fenced in yard.  If you’re interested in adopting Hero, please apply online at https://www.trackingintheshadows.com. We do not adopt to homes with underground/electric fencing. All pets in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines and heartworm prevention.   Hero's adoption fee is competely sponsored which means he is free to go home with an approved application. The sponsorship is given by Kelly in memory of her loving husband, Ray.  They rescued their pomeranian, Sloany, before Ray passed.  ##2561273##

Story
Biscuit is a 1 year old Pomeranian and Cocker Spaniel mix ready for adoption. Biscuit is ready for his forever home! This sweet and social boy is friendly with all so far and loves to play! He has been around older kids and has done well but will give a proper growl when he’s had enough or doesn’t want someone around his food.    He’s very vocal about play and will enjoy another dog his size to run around with. At only 6 lbs he can fit through small openings in a fence so keeping an eye and securing your fence will be inportant!      He has done with house training and will let you know when he has to go out. He does not enjoy the crate but is still working on it. For that, apartment life is probably not for him.  Biscuit is also still working on his leash manners.     To apply for biscuit please visit our website. Www.trackingintheshadows.com. His adoption fee has been sponsored. You must live within an hour of Elkhart Indiana and all your animals must be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered. We do not adopt to homes with underground fences.   ##2607050##
