Hi, I'm
Soonppo
Pomeranian
My story
QUICK FACTS Name: Soonppo Age: 5 years old (Estimated to be born January 2021) Gender: Male (Neutered) Breed: Pomeranian Color: Beige & White Weight: 4.3kg / 9.5lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed MY RESCUE STORY I was rescued from an illegal puppy farm, where I endured a difficult past and never had the chance to experience the loving life every dog deserves. Thankfully, kindhearted rescuers stepped in and gave me a much-needed second chance at life. Instead of my story ending in uncertainty, I was given the opportunity to leave those difficult days behind and experience kindness, care, and the hope of a brighter future. Now, I'm looking forward to a new chapter filled with love, happiness, and the chance to finally have a forever family to call my own!. MY HEALTH All vaccinations up-to-date Healthy with no known health issues MY PERSONALITY I'm a handsome boy with a sweet and gentle personality! I can be a little shy when we first meet, but luckily, there's an easy way to win me over: tasty treats! Food is definitely the way to my heart, and with a few yummy snacks and some gentle encouragement, it doesn't take long for me to start warming up. Once I feel comfortable, my sweet and affectionate side begins to shine through. I just need a little patience and time to adjust to new people and surroundings. Give me a chance to get to know you, and you'll discover what a lovable boy I truly am! MY SOCIAL SKILLS · With People: I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with some tasty treats, gentle approaches, and a little patience, I warm up quickly and happily accept pets and cuddles! Once I feel comfortable, my sweet and affectionate personality starts to shine through. I'm also comfortable being picked up, although I appreciate being approached gently, as sudden movements can sometimes startle me. I may initially bark when I see unfamiliar faces, but I settle down pretty quickly once I realize there's nothing to worry about. All I need is a little reassurance and time to feel safe, and you'll soon discover what a loving little boy I can be! · With Dogs: I'm friendly with other dogs and enjoy saying hello to new canine friends, although I'm not the type to jump straight into playtime. I prefer to take things at my own pace and am usually happy doing my own thing. I'm a peaceful boy who likes to avoid unnecessary drama and generally gets along well with my dog friends. While I don't mind having other dogs around, I'm not particularly interested in constant play or interaction. At heart, I'm definitely more of a people-loving pup! I'd much rather spend my time soaking up attention, enjoying cuddles, and being close to my favorite humans. · With Cats: My reaction to cats is unknown. ENERGY LEVEL & ACTIVITY I have a moderate energy level, so I enjoy a good balance of outdoor activities and relaxation. I love going for walks, getting fresh air, and exploring with my favorite people, but I don't need constant activity to stay happy. After some exercise and outdoor fun, I'm perfectly content heading back inside to snuggle up and relax. I'd do well with a family who enjoys regular walks and outdoor time together, but also appreciates quiet, cozy moments at home! TRAINING & HABITS I walk best in quieter areas where I feel more comfortable, as loud noises and unfamiliar surroundings can sometimes startle me. Overall, I follow my handler's lead nicely and enjoy spending time outdoors! When walking with someone new, I can feel a little nervous and may start walking in circles if I get spooked. But once I've had some time to build trust and feel safe, I become much more relaxed and confident. One of my sweetest habits is that I love making eye contact with my handler once I'm comfortable! I enjoy checking in with you as we walk together, and with patience and gentle encouragement, I can be a lovely walking companion. I also have some great habits! I don't show any food guarding toward people or other dogs, and I know how to settle down and rest calmly in my kennel. When it comes to potty habits, I'm familiar with both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty breaks. I'm a sweet boy who just needs a little patience and reassurance as I adjust to new experiences. With a consistent routine and a loving family by my side, I know I can continue building my confidence! MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: • A family that will provide me with a safe haven – where I can decompress, be myself in a stable environment • A family that understands my past and is patient with me throughout • A family that enjoys indoor and outdoor time together • A family that will love and cherish me forever • Understanding of my shy nature and willing to be patient while I come out of my shell SPECIAL NOTES I didn't have the best start in life, but despite everything I've been through, I still have so much trust and love for people. Deep down, I'm a sweet boy who craves human affection and companionship. I may be a little shy when we first meet, but that's only because my past gave me very few opportunities to explore the world or experience new things. Everything is still a little unfamiliar to me, so I just need someone who understands that building confidence takes time. Once I begin to feel safe and comfortable, my loving personality starts to shine, and you'll discover just how much I enjoy being close to my favorite people. With a little patience, consistency, and plenty of love, I know I'll continue blossoming into a wonderful, affectionate companion. I may need some extra reassurance in the beginning, but I have so much love waiting to be shared. All I'm hoping for is a forever family who will give me the chance to experience the happy, loving life I've always deserved!
