Bob

Breed: Pomeranian Mix (per the DNA test performed by his previous owner, he is 77% Pomeranian, 12% Yorkshire Terrier, 6% Poodle (Toy and Miniature), 3% Toy Fox Terrier, and 2% American Eskimo Dog)
Sex: Male, Neutered
Estimated Birth Date: 6/5/2021
Size: small (currently 14 pounds)
Good With Kids: Over the age of 10
Good With Cats: Unknown
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Almost, but his handler takes him out 6-8 times a day
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Bob is a very energetic boy. He enjoys going for walks and playing with his toys. He loves meeting new people. Despite his energy, he is also a great snuggler! He needs someone with plenty of time to devote to playing and exercising him.

Additional Information: Bob has been to four homes and keeps getting returned to the shelter. We are going to make sure that his next home is his last home. The reason for each of the returns is that his family doesn’t have time for him and his energy level. He is intelligent and willful and will greatly benefit from time with a trainer and obedience classes. His new family must be patient and committed to exercising him throughout the day. Bob tends to nip when he gets excited; he doesn’t mean to hurt anyone, he just can’t contain himself. His handler is working on this but his new family needs to be aware of it. This is why we are recommending older children.
