Their Foster Parent Says: "Pom is such a special girl! She's super low maintenance and self-sufficient—no accidents in the house, has no problem being left alone, very quiet, great on a leash, and gets along with every dog and human she's interacted with. It seems like she hasn't had consistent access to food, so she likes to eat in private. She also doesn't seem used to attention from people, so it's been really nice to watch her warm up to us and get familiar with a life full of love, walks, and treats. She almost seems a little shell shocked when we show her affection, like she can't quite believe her luck! Whoever ends up adopting Pom will be the luckiest—she's such a unique, old soul and we're so excited to continue helping her along her journey to the comfortable, happy life she deserves."
Level of dog ownership experience needed:INTERMEDIATE: This dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.)
Energy level
MEDIUM: Needs a daily 60-90 minute walk or window of quick paced exercise (minimum) in addition to potty break strolls (10-30 min each). Also needs significant socializing opportunities outside the home and mental stimulation at home like tricks training practice, chew items, and puzzle toys. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)
Cuddle bug level:
Lower- - Loves affection but doesn't need to be on top of you 24/7/
Potty trained?
Yes - - Pom is fully potty trained
Comfy with strangers?Yes - - Fine with meeting new people but not particularly interested, kind of shy in busy social situations like a gathering or a packed day in the park.
Comfortable with children? (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Yes - - Okay for a home with respectful kids aged 8 and up.
Social with other dogs?Yes - - Loves other dogs. Currently in a home with another dog and doing great with this.
Respectful of other small animals? (cats, pocket pets, etc.)Not Sure - - But we think she would be okay in a home with a cat based on her temperament
Mouthy behavior:Past this stage in her life - - Very respectful with her mouth
Leash Manners?
Old Pro – Seems like a dog that has been on leash before. Doesn’t pull hard or need much direction.
Okay in the city?
Yes — Seems unfazed by the sights and sounds, they may as well have been born here.
Jumping on People to Say Hi?
Medium – Jumps up only on people the dog knows when really excited. Stops with corrections.
Separation Anxiety?
Nope - does fine being left home alone
Crate training?
Not at all – Don’t even have one, I’ve puppy proofed and we free range.
Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines; heartworm negative; spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake
PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses though! This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes.
