Pomeranian puppies and dogs in Binbrook, Ontario

At 5–6 years old and just 16 pounds, Ellana is a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix with a big personality in a tiny, fluffy body. A survivor of a house fire/hoarding situation and once on the euthanasia list, she’s been through more than most—but she’s come out the other side with her spark intact… and a healthy sense of knowing what she likes. Ellana is “perfectly imperfect.” With her adorable waddle, signature snaggle tooth, and cloud-soft coat, she turns heads everywhere she goes. She also has a small neurological mouth “tick” (like a fish out of water), which doesn’t bother her at all—it’s just part of her charm. She enjoys the company of other dogs and cats, but prefers a calm, orderly environment where she can play “hall monitor” and keep things from getting too rowdy. Ellana is looking for a quiet, adult-only home where she can feel safe and understood. She bonds deeply, but at her own pace—once you’re in her circle, you’re truly her person. She appreciates clear boundaries, doesn’t love being startled or picked up unexpectedly, and may give a little grumble to share her opinion. Don’t let her mild arthritis fool you—this girl still loves her walks and will happily dance at the sight of a leash.**she will easily take pain meds to help ease the pain, and they are given as needed** She enjoys affection in short bursts and will nudge you when she’s ready for love. She’s also food-motivated and knows “sit,” “lay down,” and “wait.” Ellana can be a bit of a “fear reactor” if rushed and has nipped when startled, so she needs an adopter committed to going slow and respecting her cues. With patience, she quickly relaxes and shows her sweet, loyal side. She isn’t difficult—she’s discerning. A little sass, a lot of heart, and so much love to give. Could you be her person? 🐾💖

Meet Roda – A Tiny Pomeranian with a Big Heart Looking for Her Forever Family   Roda is a 4-year-old, 4 kg spayed female Pomeranian who was surrendered by her previous owner. Despite everything she’s been through, she hasn’t lost her sweet, loving personality.   She adores people and is happiest when she’s curled up beside you or being held in your arms.   She may be a little shy when meeting someone new, but a few treats are all it takes to win her over. Once she trusts you, she becomes an affectionate little shadow who loves cuddles and companionship.   Roda isn’t very interested in other dogs and would be happiest as the center of someone’s world. While she can live with another calm, easygoing dog, she would also thrive as an only dog where she can soak up all the love and attention.   Personality   Sweet, affectionate, and loves cuddles Loves being close to her people Comfortable being picked up and held Moderate energy level Loves walks and exploring new scents Uses both pee pads and goes potty outside Calm and well-behaved in a crate   Social Skills   Greets unfamiliar dogs politely but prefers people over dogs Doesn’t have much interest in playing with other dogs Shows little interest in cats during walks Has not been tested with young children   Health   Spayed Fully vaccinated Heartworm tested Recently had a professional dental cleaning   Roda has Alopecia X, a cosmetic coat condition that is relatively common in Pomeranians. After a thorough evaluation by a veterinary dermatologist, thyroid disease, Cushing’s disease, parasites, and infectious skin diseases have all been ruled out. This condition does not affect her health, quality of life, or lifespan—it simply means her coat is thinner than normal. Regular skin care and gentle grooming are recommended, but she is otherwise a happy, healthy little girl.   Like many small-breed dogs, her back legs are a bit delicate, so avoiding excessive jumping and maintaining a healthy weight will help keep her comfortable.   Roda’s Perfect Home   If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who loves cuddles more than anything, Roda could be your perfect match.

QUICK FACTS Name: Dodo Age: 4 years old Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Pomeranian Jindo mix Color: Brown Weight: 5kg / 11lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed   MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from the euthanasia list at a crowded city pound, where my future became uncertain simply because there was no more space left for dogs like me. Through no fault of my own, my time was running out. Thankfully, kind rescuers stepped in just in time and gave me a second chance at life. Now, I’m finally safe and hoping to find a loving forever family where I can truly belong.   MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues   MY PERSONALITY I can be shy in the beginning, but I promise I’m worth the wait. Beneath my timid side is a super cute, loving, and gentle boy who just needs a little patience and understanding to fully come out of his shell. I would do best with a family that understands rescue dogs and is willing to let me build trust at my own pace. I rely a lot on my dog friends for emotional support, and having calm, supportive companions around me helps me open up more quickly and feel safe. Even with my shy moments, I’m generally a bright, positive boy who wants to connect and experience the world with confidence and love.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be shy at first, but I’ll gently take treats from your hands and slowly accept soft pets as I get comfortable. I also allow myself to be picked up and handled gently. Even though I may seem timid in the beginning, I’m a very gentle and sweet boy at heart, and with patience and kindness, I truly do warm up. In a home environment where I can feel safe and settled, I’m confident I’ll bond with my new family relatively quickly and show my loving personality more and more each day. · With Dogs: I’m super friendly with my dog friends and love greeting new dogs and playing with them. I tend to get along best with dogs of a similar size, where I feel the most comfortable and confident. I’m also very much a peacekeeper and prefer to avoid conflict, even if another dog is being pushy or rude. Rather than escalating situations, I usually choose to stay calm and move away. I also rely a lot on my dog friends for emotional support, and having calm, friendly companions around me helps me feel more secure and confident. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. A cat test can be arranged upon request to ensure the best fit.   ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level. I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it’s going for walks or exploring, but once I’ve had my activity, I’m more than happy to come inside, curl up, and enjoy a cozy nap or snuggle session.   TRAINING & HABITS I’m still improving my leash skills and building confidence every day. Overall, I walk well and follow my handler’s lead nicely, especially once I feel comfortable. I do best in quieter areas, as sudden loud noises can still startle me sometimes. With patience and continued positive experiences, I’m continuing to grow more confident. I have great manners around food and don’t guard my meals from people or other dogs. I also know how to rest calmly in my kennel and settle well when it’s time to relax. I’m comfortable using both pee pads indoors and going potty outside, making me adaptable to different routines and environments.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: • A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment • A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout • A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together • A family that will love and cherish me forever • A home with another dog sibling – not an absolute requirement   SPECIAL NOTES Volunteers and staff compliment me every day on how sweet and adorable I am. Even though I may seem shy at first, I actually adjust and adapt quite quickly once I start feeling safe and comfortable. My shyness mostly comes from meeting new people in the beginning, but I’m naturally curious and enjoy slowly approaching to get to know you. I especially love taking treats gently from people’s hands, which helps me build trust and confidence quickly.   DODO'S YOUTUBE PLAYLIST   Apply to foster or adopt: https://www.welcomedogkorea.org For Inquiries: info@welcomedogkorea.co ##2736193##

This stunning boy is Link and he is so excited to start his new life! Link is a 1-½ year old Shiba Inu mixed with Pomeranian (unique right??) with a soft black and dark brown coat and a telltale sickle tail that rarely stops moving! At around 25lbs, he is active and agile and built for speed with a long body and short, strong legs. He has soulful brown eyes and a pearly white, million dollar smile. Link is a very sweet and devoted companion who needs a family to help him continue to get the socialization and confidence that he so needs. Link was picked up as a stray and taken to a pound where he remained unclaimed. He was very uncomfortable in that environment, pacing around his enclosure non-stop. Thankfully, PDR stepped in and whisked him away to the safety of a foster home where he was able to truly relax and show his playful, energetic self. Link has been a wonderful houseguest and has learned so much in the short time he has been with us. He is looking for a family who will be committed to continuing his training and socialization as he has shown to be incredibly smart and eager to please. Link has a healthy dose of stranger danger which is quieted by ensuring all introductions are slow and controlled. Link will do best in a house with enough space to allow for his happy, playful antics and he has made a special request for a backyard. I have not yet found the end of his energy so his forever family should be looking for an active dog who is ready to accompany them on walks, hikes, runs, bike rides, and/or training – and a good romp in the backyard when he still needs to expend a bit of energy. Link goes for multiple walks a day and has become very good on the leash. On days when paying attention is a little more of a struggle, he has been learning how to walk with a gentle leader and this really makes a big difference. When we took him in he was nervous of everything and would bark at anyone approaching but he has found quite a bit of confidence and with some guidance he has learned that he is safe. Carrying a bag of treats doesn’t hurt either! This is where we have done our most work helping him be calm around strangers. He has become much more calm although sometimes when excited he will still circle in his crate just to be sure you can SEE how excited he is! He is a relatively quiet dog in the home, only howling or whining a bit if he feels he’s missing out on something. When someone comes to the door or into the house for the first time, he is true to his breed and can be vocal but settles well and quickly. Link is a big lover – the minute I get down on the ground with him he flops over into my lap for some affection and would lay there all day if I let him. He is also an experienced couch potato and is happy to curl up for some cuddles after a good walk. He has been a model student, learning his manners in the home. His last hurdle in the house is just remembering that he is expected to be calm and settled – learning a ‘place’ command has greatly helped with this. Link is a wonderful companion for anyone who enjoys working with a dog – training and working as a team. He would absolutely EXCEL at dog sports and at the very least, his new family should be interested in pursuing advanced levels of training. He is smart and he will need the mental exercise to go with his physical routines. Link is also a toy connoisseur with a specialty in chewing – he gathers his toys around him and plays a round robin tournament, joyfully moving from toy to toy to toy. He is very quickly redirected if he strays from his toys to something that does not belong to him but, as a young and inexperienced dog, he does need that level of supervision in the home. He is crate trained and is crated whenever I am out of the house or if I am unable to pay attention to him. On days when I work in the office this means he is crated in the morning and again in the afternoon with a walk at lunch. He could maintain this schedule as long as his family is willing to devote proper time to him outside of work. He goes to his crate when asked and has even put himself in there at the end of the day. He also eats all of his meals in his crate. The crate training has ensured that he is housebroken, never having an accident in the house (save a gastro upset in his crate in the beginning of his time here). It will be important for his forever family to keep up this crate training with him to ensure success in his new home. Link is still nervous on car rides and rides in a crate for everyone’s safety. He whines and circles in the crate for a bit before eventually settling down. Continued exposure and confidence building should see this become less stressful for him. It’s clear he was loved in his last home but he is largely under socialized so he is just a bit behind in this kind of development. His new family needs to be willing to keep getting him out into the world so he can keep evolving into the wonderful dog that he is. Link has received several baths while in his foster home, each being a little easier than the last. He’s not going to volunteer for such a task but he is understanding that it is necessary and harmless to cooperate. Luckily, his soft and luxurious coat does not require a lot of grooming so regular baths and some brushing are enough to keep him shiny and comfortable. Link is being fostered in a home with extra small dogs and does his best around them. He is not aggressive to them but he’s just so happy to see them! His energetic movements are a little much for them and he could inadvertently knock them down so their time together is closely monitored. He would be fine in a home with another dog of the same or larger size as long as they were also young and ready for Link’s playful personality. He would also have no trouble being the only dog in the house and that might be a benefit for a family to be able to give him the attention and training that he requires. Link is untested with cats but I would be concerned that his strong prey drive would make for a stressful relationship. When we are out walking, Link is a hunter with a preference for rabbits (but anything that runs or flies is fair game to him). He is relatively unaffected when we see other dogs out walking and we have been participating in a dog training class where he is also unfazed by other dogs in the room. He was nervous of the people in the class and training the class but after week #1 his fears were gone. He very much needs a calm and controlled first meeting and then seems to relax around new people. Link has met some young neighborhood friends and has done very well with them. He can be a bit wary of new or loud noises so he would likely be stressed in a home with small children. A calm, adult only home or one with teenage children would be a fine fit for him. We just need to be sure that anyone interacting with him in the home can stick to the training that he will be getting so that he can keep building his confidence and trust with consistency and patience. When we realized how under socialized Link was, we enrolled him in Level One training at a local dog training academy. We wanted to get him some helpful exposure in an environment that we knew would be safe. To say he has done well would be an understatement – he is the star pupil! His intelligence, his devotion to his handler and his love of treats make him an unstoppable force in the classroom. Learning at home and in the classroom, he has built up a small toolbox of commands that he knows and he adds all the time. He has also learned to respond to corrections with a well placed AHH AHH. There is no end to his ability and he would do well with a family who loves dog training and can commit to life long training for this very special boy. When Link was picked up by the pound he was already neutered. Since then he has received all the proper vaccinations and tests appropriate for his age. He was an itchy boy to start but that has settled and may have been partially the nervousness he felt in the shelter. We have him on a food that is safe for allergies just in case as he has no official diagnosis for allergies at this time. He is in great shape and is sitting at the proper weight after being found underweight. Link handles the vet as he handles any other unknown people so slow introductions with LOTS of treats made the vet visit go smoothly. Link is an absolute gem of a dog who needs a family who WANTS to work with a dog. He needs more socialization and a family who will keep him feeling safe in the world. He promises to pay you back in endless cuddles and non stop game play. An active family who are looking for a dog to participate in their adventures would be a dream come true for this boy. Once he knows his people, his bond is strong and pure and when he moves on to his forever family he will leave a hole in our home that we won’t soon forget. If you’re looking for an agile dog, a big dog in a small dog frame, and a co-pilot for all of life’s adventures, please fill out an application – we’ll be here sorting our toys and waiting to speak to you.
