Adopt a Pomeranian (medium coat)

Adoption: $200--------

Weight: 12 lbs.------

DOB:  8/3/09 Estimate -------

Health:   Eddie is in good health.  No obvious issues were noted in his last vet exam.  He was treated for worms and he was cryptorchidism during his neuter.   He had fleas and we treated him for that of course. ------

Temperament: Eddie is super freaked out by all these changes in his life.  He spent his whole life with 40 other dogs in a small filthy home.  He never met other people and didn't even know they existed.  He is very traumatized at the moment.  When I reach for him, he rolls over onto his back into a submissive position but will snap at me when I try to pick him up. If I wait and I am patient, he will just jump right up and into my arms.  It's the darnest thing.   Once in my arms, he's fine.  He will need a very patient foster parent or adopter.  I have leash trained him and started taking him to public places to help him adjust to the big scary world.  Even though he has made amazing progress, I am certain that it will take about a year to help him adjust and just be a relaxed doggie.  I can tell that he really wants love and affection (and cheese) but he's still fearful.  He's a silly ole guy and I know one day he will be a great little doggie.   He is doggie door trained but he does not like to be outside any longer than he has to be.  At least not right now.  I'm hoping the new walks out on a leash will increase his desire to be outside when the weather is nice.  ------



Where did he come from:  Eddie came from a filthy hoarding home.  Animal control investigated and the dogs were released to rescue. -----
