Updated 1/15/2018 – Last night Ashton had to be taken to the emergency vet after enduring an hour long seizure. Sadly, he is no longer with us.
Update 12/28:
We have tried liquifying wet food and syringe feeding while supplementing with nutrical along with Prednisone to help stimulate his appetite. Our little guy is still only at 3.02 lbs.
Ashton was found as a stray and brought to the Peninsula Animal Shelter. With the shelter full of dogs being surrendered and abandoned to make room for new Christmas puppies, Ashton was placed on the euthanasia list. We were contacted and asked if we could take him so his life could be spared.
He is believed to be between 8-10 years old, has a heart murmur, and is dangerously thin with no appetite to boot. If his owners were known, abuse charges would be filed, that’s how thin he is. He barely registers 3 pounds and every bone in his body protrudes. He shivers constantly and is being kept in sweaters and wrapped up in blankets to maintain his body temperature. In spite of this, he is fiesty and likes to explore when given the chance.
We started him on prednisone to help stimulate his appetite as nothing we tried would work. As of today we have administered Entyce and are switching to a liquid diet (Rebound) to help him get the nutrients he so desperately needs. Our goal is to get him to 4 pounds so he can be more safely anesthetized to proceed with the dental. His teeth are quite horrid and could very well be causing him too much pain when he tries to eat.
If you’d like to contribute to his medical care and special food (Royal Canin Recovery and Rebound), please copy and paste this link: PayPal.me/Pomeranian
We added the Rebound liquid diet and some warm jammies to our Amazon Wish List for him (it’s in the 20’s here right now and he has zero body fat and very thin fur).

Original Post:
The Peninsula Animal Regional Shelter in Newport News is full has reached out for a pom they have in their care. William is estimated to be 10 years old, has a heart murmur, and is on the euthanasia list. He has won the staffs hearts which has bought him a day, but his time is running out so we agreed to take him.
He was brought in by animal control as a stray and was skinny, dehydrated, and suffering from a severe flea infestation. He is believed to be housebroken, he will not mess in his kennel, he waits to go outside. They have him in a steel crate now, and he just lays on the bed. He was tested with dogs and cats and passed. He is a pretty chill old man.
He will need to be neutered and have a dental, if you can help contribute towards his surgical costs, or would like to otherwise sponsor his care, or subsidize his adoption fee, please click here, PAYPAL.
We have also added some Oatmeal and Aloe shampoo to our Amazon Wish List to help heal his skin from the flea infestation.
We still have 2018 Calendars for sale. The proceeds go towards funding care for our rescues as well and they make great stocking stuffers!!
If you would be interested in adopting any of our rescues, please read our Adoption Process page and contact us! Sign up to receive emails when new posts are added and follow us on Facebook!!
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
