Deadline for purchasing tickets online in January 12, 2018
We are raffling off this large, portable grooming/make up case as a fundraiser to support club operations in the upcoming year. Operations include paying our insurance, caring for our rescues, maintaining our website…

and if you’re really feeling lucky…
7 years ago we adopted out this lovely lady and several months ago she was returned. Her owners threatened to leave her at a shelter if we did not come to Northern Virginia to get her. We will always take back one of our dogs, no questions asked. In this case it appears the owners simply didn’t want to pay for boarding at a kennel as they called and asked for her back once their holiday was over. Needless to say, we declined…
This is Cherie (pronounced Sherrie). She is a 9 year old Min Pin who is available for a permanent home. Cherie is spayed, micro-chipped and puppy pad trained. She is also trained to use a doggy door! This girl is outgoing and full of life. We believe she would make an excellent apartment dog. Cherie has no health issues and weighs about 10-12 pounds. She’s very lean and very loving. Potential issues: she can climb out of a 3 foot fence. We imagine she could potentially clear a 4 foot fence if chain link. Taking Cherie on walks with a leash would be preferred.
Cherie’s adoption fee is $150. Please message if you are interested.

dark orange/red in color. He has had one owner who surrendered him because she was no longer able to afford his care.
He does have a collapsing trachea so it is important to keep his weight down, not take him on long walks (especially on hot or humid days), and never to use a collar, always a harness, which is better for all Poms. He will not be adopted into a home with a smoker. We use a cough suppressant as needed that varies from Tussigon (prescription required) if the cough has been bad or Robitussin for more minor coughing. We also use CBD Oil to relax him when he is having a trachea fit. We are trying Cerenia to reduce inflammation and better manage his coughs (1/4 tab, once a day. 4 tablets are $11)
Dexter is getting along fine with our other dogs, but we do not have a social history on him. Due to his size and health issues, he needs a home with no young children and someone who is able to give him injections after breakfast and dinner every day on a regular schedule to manage his diabetes. He should not be given “people food” and his diet needs to be monitored so he’s not getting a lot of extra sugars (potato, carbs, etc…) A high quality food will take care of this. He does have a history of hypoglycemia, so a structured diet is important.
He is super sweet and follows me everywhere. He likes to be with his person all the time and would make a wonderful companion.
If you are not able to adopt Dexter, perhaps you could donate supplies to help with his care? Our Amazon Wish List has items (such as wet food, blood sugar testing strips & lancets) needed for his, and other rescues, care. Click HERE to view our list.
Advocate Meters has the best deals on testing strips. They can be shipped to Attn: Lineberry, 9830 Mayland Dr, Ste J, Richmond, VA 23233

| Dexter loves The Fighting Jamesons!! |
Mickey’s family surrendered him in part due to their inability to afford the surgery he needed to ease his pain and save his life, but also due to the home situation. They have two young children (4 years and 3 months) at home and since the birth of the oldest, Mickey has gradually become more withdrawn spending more time in his kennel until after the kids are in bed when he would venture out for some love. These factors in addition to some other personal issues led to the heartbreaking decision for the family that surrendering Mickey was in his best interest.
UPDATE 8/12 – All the good vibes being sent our way today paid off big time!!
They were able to catheterize and work the stones back into his bladder without having to re-route his plumbing from a boy to a girl! So relieved!! They even did a dental and since he was already under, we got a discount on the dental!Throw in a courtesy nail trim and what started out as a super stressful morning, ended up being a pretty good afternoon.
UPDATE 8/11 – It’s more serious than we originally thought.
X-Rays show 2 dozen stones in his bladder and 2 stones blocking his urethra.
His dad was deployed and mom had 2 kids under 5 at home. They could not afford the surgery he needs so they have surrendered him to the Pomeranian Club of Central Virginia.
Mickey will be required to be on a special diet for the remainder of his life to prevent recurrence of stones.
Please click on one of the PayPal buttons to the right or the GoFundMe link below to help fund Mickey’s medical care.
Bailey is a 7 lbs. and approx. 12 years old. A typically lifespan for a Pomeranian is 14-16 years.

As you all may know, we are a very small rescue and depend 100% on funds raised by donation and fundraisers. It has only been in the past couple of years that we have actively been trying to increase our rescue program to be able to assist more, and perhaps not as healthy, Poms as we have done in the past. It’s a constant struggle to keep funds coming in keeping up with funds going out. This has been especially difficult this past year with Bailey, Frisco, and Gibbs all requiring so much medical care.
