Online Dog Adoption Application

Online Cat Adoption Application

Yappy (as named by his previous owner) and his friend Lilo are looking for homes because there owner could not keep them any longer. Yappy is a adorable pomeranian and I know we can find him a great furever home. Below is a little info on Yappy:

Yappy is a loving dog! Yappy loves to have his belly rubbed and to take a bath! Both of them have been around kids their whole life. They both like to be outdoors and just run around!

Yappy and Lilo were both severely matted. Yappy has since been shaved completely down and we know he will look beautiful when his hair grows out again.

Medical update: Yappy was seen by our vets this week due to some coughing possibly a cold. He needs to be walked using a harness to prevent a chocking cough (collapsing Trachea).  He has a slight heart murmur (grade 2/6). Yappy is currently on three types of medication to help his heart function properly (Vetmedin 1.25mg, Enalapril 5mg, Lasix 12.5mg). These meds combined with low activity and proper diet and we hope he will have a long happy life. Anyone wanting to adopt Yappy will need to be aware that he must be on the above meds for the rest of his life.

Yappy qualifies for our senior for senior program. If adopted by a senior person (55+) his adoption fee is $100.

Developed in the Prussian region of Pomerania, the Pomeranian was originally descended from the ancient Spitz breeds of the far north which were brought to Europe and employed to herd sheep. The Pom ancestors weighed up to 30 pounds. Marie Antoinette, Emile Zola and Mozart all owned Pomeranians. In the late 1800's Queen Victoria became a Pomeranian fancier, and established her own kennel for their breeding. She showed her dogs, with some success, making the breed very popular in England. Because Queen Victoria preferred smaller dogs, many breeders began selecting for smaller size. Now the Pomeranian has been bred down from his original size to customary 4-5 pounds. The Pomeranian's intelligence and talent for showmanship have also made him a superior circus performer. Today's Pomeranian is primarily a loving companion and beautiful show dog. Some of the Pom's talents include: watchdogging, agility and performing tricks. The Pomeranian is a lively little dog. Intelligent, eager to learn, very loyal to its handler and family. Willful, bold and sometimes temperamental. If it is properly introduced they usually get along with other dogs and household animals without any problems, but some of them seem to think they are much larger than they actually are and do not hesitate to attack much bigger dogs. It is an excellent watchdog with a resounding bark. Poms have a tendency to be reserved and bark at strangers excessively. Teach this dog early that it may bark a couple of times when the doorbell rings or when there are visitors, but then to keep quiet. Be very consistent about this. They are alert, curious and busy: one of the most independent of the Toy breeds. Poms have a delightful nature and do not cling to their handlers. Proud and happy, they are good at learning tricks, but need a firm hand. The Pomeranian must know the owner is the boss, or he will not listen. This breed may become too demanding if the owner allows it. Not recommended for very young children. Too much attention from children can make these dogs nervous and they may become snappish. However, they can get along well with older, well behaved children. It is a good companion for an elderly person. The Pom is a wonderful companion dog and show ring contender. The breed's docile temper and affectionate nature endear it to many. Its vivacity and spirit make it well-liked by persons who do not usually care for toy dogs.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids
