Mimi is very silky and soft with not much of an undercoat which makes grooming a breeze. She is happy cuddling with you in bed, sitting next to you on the couch, or hanging out in the office while you work. She is a fanatic for latex squeaky toys and comes running from anywhere in the house with a single squeak!
One of her favorite thing is belly rubs! If she sees you coming, she automatically flips to her back with all 4 paws straight in the air anxiously awaiting those rubs. While you’re there, she also enjoys having her chin and throat stroked. With her silky coat, it’s easy to stroke her for an hour!
When not playing or snuggling, she has claimed a spot on the top of the couch as her domain to snooze the afternoon away. She is house trained and didn’t mind the snow letting herself out through the doggie door.
She would do well in a house where she is given plenty of tosses of the squeaky toys and someone to hang out with all day. She tolerates our other dogs but would prefer to have you all to herself. She loves being with her people.
Mimi is a little on the chunky side and ideally should be closer to 8 pounds (currently she is 10lbs), so she needs a well-balanced diet and some exercise. She is a bit of a light eater, so this should be manageable. She does have a little trouble with her trachea when she gets worked up, so shorter walks or romps around the yard are more than enough for her. Her back right knee is starting to show signs of a luxating patella (slipping kneecap, very common in Poms and does not impact her mobility). Adding Cosequin or other glucosamine supplement to her diet and getting her weight down is important for her comfort and to keep her knees in good shape.
Mimi’s adoption fee is $500. This covers the cost of the veterinary care, dental surgery, 3 year rabies booster (good until 2028), and prescription food she received prior to surgery to improve her GI health. She had 4 teeth removed in February during her dental.

I filled out an application yesterday for Mimi! I am very interested and I am familiar with her medical needs. I look forward to hearing from you if she is still up for adoption!
