How To Adopt A Pomeranian
If you want to adopt a pomeranian then you have several options.
Firstly, you could try looking at the humane society in your area.. You may not find a Pom the odds of finding a Pom at the animal shelter are not good so, but you can let them know what you are looking for and hope for a call.
Finding a Pomeranian at an animal shelter is not likely so another option to adopt a pomeranian is to look for one through a Pomeranian Rescue Service. Here you will be able to find a Pom that needs a home. Some of these Poms might have some leftover “issues” from their previous life (but not all of them) and you will probably have to wait a while before one that fits your criteria comes up, but it is a great way to give a needy animal a loving home.
If it’s a puppy you want to buy, or you plan to show the dog, you will want to buy from a Pomeranian Breeder. If you do plan to buy from a breeder, make sure you use one that has the good of the breed at heart and not just trying to make a quick buck.
Breed Standard
When you buy a adopt a pomeranian, make sure you know about the breed standard.
The Pomeranian is a compact dog with a fox like face. The tail should be plume like - held high and draping over the back. Standard breed weight is 3 to 7 pounds. Demeanor is lively and alert. He has a double coat – a soft undercoat and long harsh outer. Face should include dark almond shaped eyes, small ears, a short muzzle and rounded skull with pronounced stop.
Pom Care
Once you get a adopt a pomeranian home, make sure you provide him with the proper grooming so that he looks and feels good!
Pom’s have a double coat that requires daily care as it can easily get matted. The soft undercoat is light and fluffy and very thick. The longer top coat is sleek like long hair. Daily brushing is required to keep the fur free from matting and looking it's best. Weekly baths should be given as well as proper grooming around the feet and under the tail.
Like most small dogs, Poms can have a buildup of discharge from their eyes that can cause a lumpy mess. This buildup can stain the fur and, although my Pom’s never said anything, I’m sure it must be uncomfortable. To avoid this mess, simply clean the eye area each day with a Q-tip. Be sure not to get too close to the eye as you don’t want to accidentally poke your pet in the eye!
Good dental care is vital for your Pomeranian. These dogs are prone to tooth loss and excess bacteria in the mouth which can be harmful to your dogs health. The best way to fight this is to get an enzymatic toothpaste that will help fight bacteria and brush your dogs teeth every day. Get a dental check up once a year and a scaling if your vet recommends it.
