HAppy Thanksgiving
This is Brew, one of our members Poms. Not available, but wanted to share because, have you ever seen such a perfect toe beans shot!
Thank you to Annie Coughlin from Charm City Poms for sharing this warm fuzzy!
Champ came through surgery like a CHAMP! He kept all of his teeth, and they are now pearly white!
However, he did lose something unexpected… it turns out he was not neutered! He had an undescended testicle. It was a surprise for the vet when they were repositioning him during his dental.
Lady’s surgery also went well, she only lost one tooth! She was a very happy girl at the doctor’s office and made friends with everyone there!
If youd like to help with their surgery costs, as well as the other fire survivors, we have a GoFundMe set up for them https://www.gofundme.com/f/Support-Our-Fire-Survivors-PCCV.
This is an update. Please read the previous post for more details: Lady & the Scamp – Brother/Sister
We are not 100% sure that she is bonded with her brother Champ. They don’t spend much time together and appear to follow their foster mom around more than they do each other. We are currently considering whether they can be separated for adoption, but would like to have a trial separation to see how it goes.
The first week, she stayed in the office where her foster mom works most of the time, except to eat. We set up a water bowl in the office to ensure she was drinking enough.
Like her brother, Lady loves to dance on her back legs and beg for a treat. She is super gentle about taking the treat from your fingers, almost dropping it.
She has been with us exactly 2 weeks today as I’m writing this. She remains very nervous and runs away whenever you try to pick her up. However, if you sit on the floor, she will come straight to you and climb into your lap; from there, you can pick her up.
As her trust grows, it is becoming easier to interact with her. She still puts her head down and ears back when you reach to pet her, and you have to move slowly and reassure her, but once you make contact, she likes a good butt scratch! I can reach down and pet her most of the time now, but her foster dad still has to get down to her level first. That makes sense because I work from home and she is with me 24/7.
On night 5, my husband brought her to the bedroom to show her where her foster mommy and the rest of the pack were hanging out. Now she likes to sleep at my feet and makes her way to the bedroom every night in her own time. She may not be there when we go to sleep, but she usually is when we wake up.
This past week, she has become more relaxed in the new environment, and I often find her following me as I pop into the kitchen or bathroom during the day. I expect she will continue to improve as she becomes more comfortable.
She is a very sweet girl and gets along with everyone. She needs a home with no children and experienced owners willing to give her the time and patience she needs to trust them and get comfortable.
Although she isn’t happy when her brother steals her bed!
If you would like to help sponsor their care and surgical needs, we have set up a GoFundMe or visit our Linktree for other options.
Our followers have surprised us with their generosity yet again! We got several packages from our Amazon Wish List in the past 2 days. After the last round of rescues, we had run out of many of our supplies.
With 4 seniors in the house, potty pads are always helpful. All four of these have dental issues that need to be addressed. We are hopeful they will be able to have anesthesia despite their age. The Ultrasonic Dental Cleaner will be particularly helpful for our seniors who cannot undergo surgery, as it enables quick scaling for new rescues with severely damaged mouths that can literally stink up an entire room! Getting some of the tartar off helps reduce the odor until proper surgery can be performed.
As you can see in the picture, Scamp couldn’t wait to get his teeth into a Mintie!

He’s gone home with the family who reached out about him almost immediately after his rescue, and followed along with his story through his long recovery – talk about destiny!
This incredible family has followed Bandit’s journey from day one, through all his ups and downs, for nearly four months. After his dental procedure in early July, they finally got to meet him, and it was clear that this was the family that Bandit was waiting for. Bandit spent the weekend with them, and he’s already living his best life! He is the only dog with a couple of cats as buddies, and he has a lovely young lady as his best friend.
To Bandit’s new family: Thank you for your unwavering interest, your patience, and for opening your hearts and home to this special guy. It just makes us so happy to see Bandit be loved and cherished. Happy forever, Bandit!
Freedom Ride!
ADOPTED BY THE COUPLE WHO INITIALLY FOUND HIM
Currently located in Morganton, NC
Last weekend, our sister rescue in NC suffered a tragedy, their home burned down. They were able to escape and rescue all the animals. They are now living in a small camper on the property and do not have room for the rescues in their care.
Wally was dumped in the Walmart parking lot. Wally was in poor condition and is a parti pom. meaning he is part orange and part white. He is about 10 lbs. He has no microchip. He does walk with a harness. He is blind in one eye, with signs of cataract appearing in the second eye. He seems to have difficulty in his rear, and this is noticeable from how he walks. He barks at doors or whenever he thinks he’s alone and can’t find you.
He was covered in feces and urine, so there are some healing skin conditions. He was so matted, we had no choice but to shave him, although we do not recommend shaving Pomeranians. It is unknown whether he is housebroken, but it is unlikely due to his condition. His age and past are unknown. He is very loving and gentle. He does not appear to be fixed. He appears to be elderly, but his teeth are in fairly good condition.
