History: Kawaii is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance at a good life. She is very timid and uncertain so a patient family will be so important for her success long-term!
A Note from the Foster: Kawaii is a seven-year-old blue Pomeranian who is just beginning her journey into a life she has never known before. After spending her entire life in a commercial breeding environment, she was shaved down prior to her release to rescue. While we can’t know exactly what her coat will grow back like, we can imagine the beautiful Pom she once was — and will be again in her own time.
More importantly, Kawaii herself is still very much at the earliest stages of healing.
Right now, Kawaii is scared and skittish and not ready for hands-on affection. She is not a dog who will come running for pets or cuddles, and she will need a family who understands that trust must be earned slowly and gently. That said, behind her fear is a very silly little soul — especially when food is involved! She loves her meals, perks up for snacks, and shows us glimpses of personality that make us smile every day.
Kawaii does not yet have leash-walking skills and will need patient, positive training to help her learn the basics of being a companion dog. She would do best in a home with other calm, confident dog companions, as dogs help her feel safe and show her what “normal life” looks like.
Kawaii is not a beginner dog. She will require:
A quiet, predictable home
Extremely patient, kind adopters
No expectations for immediate affection
Willingness to let her set the pace
Understanding that progress may be slow and nonlinear
What she will give in return is the opportunity to watch a dog truly blossom — to see fear slowly replaced with curiosity, and uncertainty turn into trust. For the right family, Kawaii will be a deeply rewarding companion.
If you are the kind of person who believes love is shown through patience, consistency, and compassion — and you’re willing to guide a little soul through the next chapter of her life — Kawaii may be your perfect match.
💙 Her story is just beginning.

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
