Pompom (Middle East, ST)

My story

Hello, My name is Pompom and here is some info you should know about me: Breed: PomeranianAge: 1.5 yearsGender: FemaleHeight: 9 inchWeight: 6 lbs   Highlights: very friendly, calm, cuddly, loyal, loving  I’m a 1.5-year-old Pomeranian mix with a soft coat, a softer heart, and a big dream: to be loved forever. Not too long ago, I had a family. I thought they were my forever—but one day, they decided that they were too busy for me, and just like that, I found myself at the shelter. I waited and waited, hoping they’d come back… but they never did. I’m still not sure why.  Even though my heart hurts sometimes, I haven’t let it change who I am. I’m gentle, kind, and I get along with everyone—dogs, cats, and especially people. I love going for walks, sniffing every new smell, and making friends wherever I go. The humans here say I’m sweet as can be and never show a hint of aggression. I don’t guard my food or toys—I just want to share love. The shelter has been kind, and I’ve made some wonderful friends… but at night, when the lights go out, I dream of a home of my own. A cozy bed. A pile of squeaky toys. A human (or two!) who loves me unconditionally—even on their busiest days. I know my forever family is out there. When they find me, I’ll be ready—with a wagging tail, a hopeful heart, and so much love to give. Maybe… just maybe… it’s you?

Health notes: I have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped  Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $300. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding. Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or  Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website. [MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza.
