Story
Meet Pomegranate!!
This affection lady is so sweet and adorable. She is one of the 13 dogs we took in from a horrible hoarding situation. She survived being in a feces covered home during freezing temps with no heat, no water and no electricity for a very long time. Pomegranate was covered from head to tail in severe matting and underweight. She was also terrified and very withdrawn when she came to her foster home. Shes now one of the farthest along with training and being social
Pomegranate is an at least 2 yr old female Yorkie type mix. She may be older than that we arent sure. She weighs 17 Pounds and is full grown. She was severely matted and had to be shaved down but her hair will grown back.
She will be spayed, have a dental, be up to date on vaccines and microchipped as part of her adoption. She is heartworm negative and on monthly preventions.
It has been so rewarding to see Pomegranate go from a feral, timid creature to a happy, affectionate dog. Pomegranate loves people once she learns you are a safe and loving place for her. She does great in her crate. At first she was terrified to be outside in the open, but she is adjusting well with short, rewarding outdoor sessions. She has done so well with leash training and is quickly learning that walks are fun!
She has done just fine around other dogs and cats. She is also very friendly with children and loves to just wag away when she sees people. Children in the home home need to be respectful and not treat her like a toy.
She is nearly fully potty trained and continues to make significant progress every day. She came from a place where they were trapped inside and had no options for going anywhere else. She does not like to potty in her crate, which is good, and she is quickly adjusting to be comfortable going outside. Her new owner will just need to be patient and understanding given her history.
Pomegranate has not displayed any issues sharing food, treats, or toys with people or other animals. Due to her previous living conditions, she will scarf her food down, but she has not had issues with food aggression.
So far she has been a fairly quiet little dog. Pomegranate will quietly whimper when she is scared because she is outside, but other than that, has been a very quiet dog. We think that once she becomes fully comfortable, she will be good at vocalizing when she needs to go out to potty, as she’s already started to do that.
Pomegranate is an over all chill, low energy dog. She may get more spunky as she continues to come out of her shell, but she would do just fine in a variety of homes.
📌📌She will need regular grooming. This requires time to get him to and from the appointments and additional expenses to pay for it. On average a dog of this breed will need grooming every 6 weeks. This should be fully considered prior to applying to adopt him.
Vet and home checks required.
Located in Hampton VA.
(She will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius)
