Story
Disco is a small dog with a big love for people. I’ve fostered him for nearly two years after friends found him wandering on his own, and he's been safe, cared for, and loved ever since. His exact age is unknown, but he's been neutered, is up to date on all required vaccinations, and has been healthy during his time with me. Disco’s favorite activity is simple: sitting on someones lap and getting pet. If you’re looking for a cuddle companion who just wants to be close to their person, he's your guy. He does need regular bathroom breaks throughout the day and will have accidents in the house if he isn’t taken outside consistently. Disco has been good with my son and mostly ignores my other chihuahua. However, he is not good with dogs larger than himself and is not cat-friendly. He would thrive best as the only pet or in a home with a small, calm dog. Disco is looking for a patient, attentive home where he can get the affection he craves and the structure he needs.

Story
We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs to their new home leaving January 15th 2026 to the east coast from where we are located here in Southern California. Surrounding states will be added to our route as needed ☺️ We would love to add Snowball to our trip for the right home! As always for our adopters peace of mind we never ask for anything up front! Her adoption fee, along with her adopting families share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person with Snowball ultimately finalizing her adoption. Snowball, a purebred Pomeranian, is a tiny burst of happiness wrapped in fluff, joy, and pure sweetness. At 2.5 years old and approximately 5–6 lbs, she is petite in size but overflowing with personality, charm, and an infectious zest for life. Snowball has a playful, animated spirit and a way of lighting up every space she enters without even trying. Like Roxy, Snowball lost her owner when she passed away, leaving her world suddenly changed. With no family left behind, a thoughtful neighbor reached out to us to make sure these girls would be protected and loved, and Snowball has embraced this new chapter with remarkable resilience and trust. She carries no sadness - only hope, curiosity, and a readiness to love again. Snowball is house trained and pad trained, doing exceptionally well with a structured routine and happily going out every 3–4 hours. She is crate trained and sleeps perfectly through the night, but she is wonderfully adaptable and will adjust easily to whatever sleeping arrangement her new family prefers. She is fantastic on road trips and remains calm and content during travel, making her an easy and delightful companion for outings big or small. She is an absolute dream at the groomer and truly shines during her spa days, enjoying every bit of attention and care. Snowball is not a barker, but she is expressive and loves to “chat” when she wants affection, snacks, or simply to engage with her people. She thrives on interaction and absolutely loves being talked to - those conversations are clearly one of her favorite parts of the day. Snowball is incredibly smart, endlessly entertaining, and full of life. She dances, wiggles, and celebrates everything with her whole heart. Her joy is contagious, her sweetness undeniable, and her presence has a way of imprinting itself on your heart before you even realize it’s happened. She is scheduled to be spayed on 1/6/26, at which time she will also receive a dental cleaning, all vaccines, a microchip, and a comprehensive veterinary exam. She will be fully vetted and cleared by our veterinarian prior to adoption. Snowball would do beautifully as the center of attention in her own home or as a companion to another friendly pet. While she arrived with another Pom she gets along well with, she is not bonded and will thrive independently, forming deep connections with her new family. Snowball is pure love in motion - happy, affectionate, and endlessly giving. She will bring laughter, warmth, and an incredible sense of joy to the life she joins. Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/snowball It reflects her veterinary care, grooming, training, and the dedication involved in ensuring she is healthy, happy, and ready for her forever home.
