Bandit the Brave: A Tiny Superhero in a Fight for His Life

https://gofund.me/b8b666e3
Click on Picture to be taken to Bandits fundraiser

We need to tell you about Bandit. 

Also known as The Fearless Fluffball, Braveheart Bandito, El Pequeño Valiente, The Furry Avenger, Mighty Mite, and Burrito Bandito.

This little Pomeranian has the heart of a lion.

We call him our littlest superhero because he once hurled himself sacrificially in front of a moving car to protect the person he loved. No hesitation. No fear.

That’s the kind of dog Bandit is, devoted, brave, and endlessly loving.

A true superhero.

The hallmark of every superhero is a compelling origin story — and Bandit’s is no exception.

Bandit belonged to a woman we call Mother Joy because that’s exactly what she was to him—his sun, his moon, his reason for everything. She adored and doted on little Bandit, and he followed her everywhere. He was her shadow, her guardian, her joyful companion. They were an inseparable duo, and Bandit’s world felt complete.

But then, tragedy struck.

Mother Joy passed away, and Bandit lost everything he knew and loved. Her family loves Bandit dearly and vowed to continue caring for him. But Bandit hasn’t wanted a new family.

He has wanted her.

And his life hasn’t been the same since. He has been sullen, withdrawn, and heartbroken.

So, in an act of great love and heartbreak, her family surrendered him to rescue—knowing he needed someone new to pour his whole heart into. A fresh start. A second chance at happiness. We welcomed Bandit into our care, hoping to help him heal and find that next great love.

But tragedy has struck our little superhero yet again.

Within just days of arriving, Bandit collapsed. Sudden vomiting. Bloody diarrhea. Arching and yelping in pain. We rushed him to emergency care in the middle of the night. 

His bloodwork has been alarming, his phosphorus dangerously high, his body critically dehydrated, his intestinal motility gone. He is now undergoing urgent testing and treatment, but the truth is…

Bandit is fighting for his life. And we are fighting for him.

We don’t yet have a full diagnosis. But we do know this:

Bandit deserves every chance.

He deserves to live.

He deserves to love again.

He deserves to find a warm lap, a safe home, and someone who will see him the way Mother Joy did.

But emergency care is expensive, and his bills are already climbing fast.

We need your help to keep this little superhero alive.

Whether it’s $5 or $50, every donation brings us closer to the care Bandit urgently needs.

Every share could help connect him to the person who will help him find his joy again.

Heroes always show up in the story right when they’re needed most.

When the storm clouds gathering.

When hope feels out of reach.

When you think no one is coming… 

And heroes don’t always wear capes or make grand entrances.

Sometimes, they just show up quietly. 

When things are fragile

When the path forward is unclear.

When a little life is hanging in the balance.

Right now, Bandit needs someone to show up for him.

Because a dog who loves this hard deserves to be loved just as fiercely in return.

Thank you for being part of his rescue story, and for believing in superheroes, for mighty is the tiniest of hearts when it is filled with love.

It is why every dog will always be a superhero to us. 

Calling All Heroes… One of our bravest needs backup.

Bandit once threw himself in front of a moving car to protect the person he loved. Now this tiny superhero is fighting for his life.

After losing the only person he ever loved, Bandit came into rescue heartbroken. Days later, he collapsed. He’s now in emergency care, critically ill, and we’re doing everything we can to save him. He deserves to live.

He deserves a second chance. Will you be part of his rescue story?

Pomeranian Self Help Books

APOTED – Mimi – female, 6 yo

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.

ADOPTED – Sasha – F – DOB 2/8/22 – CKC Registered

Sasha (aka The Cream Puff Comet, Lady Sassafras, Spinmaster General, or Your Highness of Happiness)

Like her bestie Peaches, Sasha is a 3-year-old, 8-pound Pomeranian with enough joy packed into her tiny frame to power a small village. But where Peaches jumps, Sasha spins. She spins for joy, she spins for meals, she spins because sometimes the world just needs a little twirl.

Sasha is the embodiment of cheerful, well-adjusted canine energy. No baggage, no diva behavior — just pure delight and an excellent sense of timing. She’s spayed, recently vetted, and ready to pirouette her way into someone’s life as a beloved pet and professional mood-booster.

She and Peaches are currently partners in cuteness, but they’re not a bonded pair. Sasha would do wonderfully as a solo floof or with a like-minded fur sibling who can appreciate her moves and not hog the limelight.

If you’re looking for a dog who radiates joy and treats every day like a celebration, Sasha is ready to be your fluffball soulmate.

Sash and Liberty are scheduled to be spayed and have dentals on 4/1. They will be able to go home the following week.

Unfortunately, his owner has been impacted by the federal return to work mandate and has a considerable commute. This necessitated him surrendering his beloved Poms due to not having the time to be with them. In total, 5 were surrendered and will be listed as they are available.

ADOPTED – Peaches – F – DOB 11/30/21 – CKC Registered

Introducing Peaches (aka Ms. Peach Bottom, Jumpin’ Bean, The Duchess of Zoom, and the Peach Fuzz Rocket Express!)

*Please consider that she is a “recent”(this year) mom. Pom moms often lose their coat while they are pregnant and nursing. Their coat takes a couple of months after weaning their pups to recover from all of the hormonal changes and physical demands of nursing.*

At just 3 years old and a fluffy 8 pounds, Peaches is a certified professional joy distributor. This girl bounces through life—literally. She jumps for joy. She jumps for snacks. She jumps just to show you that gravity is a suggestion.

She’s mastered the art of being both ridiculously cute and refreshingly low-maintenance. No behavior issues, no drama — just good vibes and the occasional vertical leap that defies physics. She’s spayed, had a recent dental (she’s down a couple of baby teeth and one molar but don’t worry—she’s still got plenty of sparkle), and is ready for her next gig as someone’s beloved sidekick.

Her current bestie is Sasha, our cream colored pom rescue, who is also available for adoption. While they’re an adorable duo, they’re not bonded, and can be adopted separately. But if you were looking to adopt two, these two would be a fabulous pair to welcome into your home, because life could always use more fluff and fewer dull moments. Peaches would thrive either as your one-and-only fluff queen or with a chill sibling who doesn’t mind sharing the spotlight.

If you’ve got a spot on your couch and a heart that needs softening, Peaches is your girl. If you’re looking for a well-adjusted, hilarious little companion who communicates 90% of her thoughts through eye contact and enthusiastic hops, Peaches is ready to audition for the role of your new best friend.

She does get a little carsick, so be mindful. She has not had much travel experience, so she may grow out of it.

Unfortunately, his owner has been impacted by the federal return to work mandate and has a considerable commute. This necessitated him surrendering his beloved Poms due to not having the time to be with them. In total, 5 were surrendered and will be listed as they are available.

PENDING – Midas – M – 2y – DOB 12/8/22

Meet Midas (aka The Chocolate Teddy Bear, Love Muffin Extraordinaire, Chunky Mocha Monkey, The Cocoa Valentino) Midas is a 2-year-old, AKC registered, chocolate and tan Pomeranian who looks like he stepped straight out of a luxury plush toy collection and into your heart. Weighing just over 11 pounds (most of it charm), he’s the living embodiment of a chocolate teddy bear — soft, sweet, and impossible to resist. With his deep golden eyes and pillowy coat, Midas is a cuddle connoisseur.

He loves being with his people, whether that means snuggling on the couch, following you from room to room and when he gazes up at you, it’s with the soft, unshakable devotion of a dog who believes you are the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Midas has been neutered, his dental done, fully vaccinated and is ready for his next chapter. Like many gentlemen of romantic persuasion, he previously had a tendency to mark indoors, but that’s already improving post-neuter and with a little encouragement and consistency, he’s well on his way to full house manners. He would do best with an understanding family who is comfortable using stylish belly bands while he learns the rules. Affectionate, people-oriented, Midas is ready to sweep you off your feet. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with teddy bear looks and golden-hearted loyalty, look no further! This little chocolatey Casanova is ready to steal your heart.

He was being overfed just a little and ideally he should be under 10 pounds. He will be neutered and have his teeth cleaned on 3/28 and needs 10 days to recover. His shots (DHPP and Rabies) are up to date until 2027.

He will require regular grooming with a stainless steel comb to keep his thick undercoat from getting mats. A quick run-over with a slicker brush after combing will pick up any loose hairs and can easily be done while sitting on the couch watching your favorite shows.

Unfortunately, his owner has been impacted by the federal return to work mandate and has a considerable commute. This necessitated him surrendering his beloved Poms due to not having the time to be with them. In total, 5 were surrendered and will be listed as they are available.

Midas adoption fee is $600.

In addition to general care, we would love to start microchipping all our rescues. If we chip our rescues, then if at any time in the future one of our rescues shows up in a shelter or another rescue, it will lead back to us. The new owners can also add their information, but our contact info will also be available if the owner is not found or has never registered the chip. This ensures we can reclaim any of our rescues!

Rescue Fundraiser

We have recently taken in 6 Pomeranians whose owners could no longer care for them primarily due to recent changes in the government workforce.

Some need to be neutered/spayed and vaccine updates, while all of them need dental cleanings. Veterinary costs have exploded and dentals alone are running $300-400. Anything helps offset these costs and help us find these cuties their forever homes faster.

Thank You!

ADOPTED – Archer – male – DOB 6/29/23

The adoption fee is $600.

Archer is a very handsome, AKC registered, very rare Blue Merle Piebald Parti Pom. He was born on 6/29/2023 and is currently just over 11 pounds. He was being overfed just a little and ideally he should be under 10 pounds. Archer has been neutered and his shots are up to date until 2026 (DHPP) and 2027 (Rabies).

Archer is very personable. He was giving kisses in the car on the way home. He has a massive, gorgeous coat in a very unusual color pattern you rarely see in Poms. He will require regular grooming with a stainless steel comb to keep his thick undercoat from getting mats. A quick run over with a slicker brush after combing will pick up any loose hairs and can easily be done while sitting on the couch watching your favorite shows.

He did get a little queasy on the car ride home and drooled all down his chin. Given the amount of stress involved with being taken from your home and being carted off by 2 strangers, it may or may not be an ongoing issue.

Unfortunately, his owner has been impacted by the federal return to work mandate and has a considerable commute. This necessitated him surrendering his beloved Poms due to not having the time to be with them. In total, 5 were surrendered and will be listed as they are available.

Happy St Paddy’s Day
