Notes from Recycled Pomeranians and Schipperkes

~~Although we do our very best to make sure your new pup is in tiptop health before adoption, things could drastically change a month later. Since we don’t have a long health history of your adopted dog, we can only treat the pet for whatever symptoms present during the initial exam and follow up exams.~

Health: ***** No obvious health issues found during vet exam ***** Temperament: Don’t let his 6lb frame fool you—Bruno is a 3-year-old with the soul of a warrior and the attitude to match. He is officially "not for the faint of heart," but for the right person, he is the ultimate companion.

Bruno is a classic "spicy" pup. He has a "tiny wolf" mentality and isn't afraid to use his teeth if he’s asked to do something he doesn’t like (like heading outside or being moved). He’s spent a lifetime being misunderstood, but we know the truth: Bruno is just a little guy who needs clear boundaries and a patient leader. He has previously been allowed to call the shots, so he needs an adopter who is comfortable with his "wolf" side—someone who won’t be intimidated by a growl or a snap, but will instead provide the firm, consistent structure he needs to feel secure.

Because of his need for a controlled, predictable environment, Bruno will not be adopted into homes with children, nor can he go to homes where children frequently visit.

Once he decides you’re his person, the transformation is incredible. He turns into a total mushy lap dog who loves his toys, chasing tiny balls, and long, polite walks on a leash. He’s house and kennel trained, but he is not a "meet and greet" kind of dog; he isn't fond of strangers and won't show his best side at first glance.

If you are looking for a fierce little protector and have the experience and patience to look past his "little turd" moments, you’ll find a loyal, cuddly, and loving dog waiting to bond with his forever human. He won't win a "Best in Show" for his first impression, but if you can give him a chance, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking for a fierce little protector who will eventually be your biggest cuddle bug, Bruno is your guy. He can be a little turd, but he’s a good little turd who just needs a chance. Are you his person? Apply to adopt him today. --

Where did he come from: He was surrendered to our rescue when his family could no longer care for him.

Adoption: ***** $700.00 ***** Weight: 6.0 lbs. Approximate age: 9/2/2023
