History: Pomeline is a beautiful little girl who arrived to rescue recently and immediately warmed our hearts. She is officially ready to start her journey in finding her forever home and hopes to find them soon!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Pomeline, aka Pommy, Pom-Pom, or Pumpkin! She will answer to any and all if the "I have a treat" voice is used. Pommy came to Coco's from a recent breeder release. She is still very timid, especially in new situations or if there are sudden loud noises or movements. She is getting braver every day, and has definitely discovered her silly side. She loves to play, run, and CHEW! She is surely cutting puppy teeth and will happily chew anything you leave laying around for her. She really appreciates it! Though she is still finding her brave, she loves to snuggle and will follow her safe person all over the house. She has only just begun to explore beyond her safe zone. She has discovered fun things to chew with this new bravado! She is tiny and will snuggle right into a warm neck or lap for a little nap and does not mind being picked up to do just that. Potty training is ongoing with a few inside accidents, but she is starting to understand she has to do her business outside. She has started to bark, whine, and even use the bell like her big foster brother to let her family know she has to go outside. She is treat motivated so time and patience will see her trained quickly. Pommy will go in her kennel without a fuss and sleeps like a champ all night long. She also does well during the day with a little break after 4-5 hours.
This sweet girl has a condition called microphthalmia in her right eye. She is completely blind in that eye but that does not stop her at all! She will run, run, run and only occasionally will bump into things on her right side. She is a pro at stairs and avoiding obstacles in the yard. It is just when she goes too fast under the crowded table or cluttered room. She should not have any future issues with her eye, but she is young and may decide being a pirate is in her future. 😋
Pomeline will do best in a house with a mentor dog to help her continue to come out of her timid shell. She loves other dogs! She has not had a lot of exposure to young children but would probably be fine if approached slowly at first. She loves to be loved and will be the best girl for a family that is willing to be patient as she continues to find her shine.
Adoption Fee: Our adoption fees typically vary from $510-$1260 + tax. Our coordinator will be in touch with you with specific information during the application processing. For more information on where our animals come from, here is some additional information. Thank you!
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!
