Story
Chewy came to our lives during the pandemic. He was an instant delight to have around. He is fully trained, very well-behaved, so it makes it very easy to fall in love with him. He has been around the world with his previous owners and even speaks Spanish since he spent some time in Mexico with former parents. He is now 10 years old. I am extremely sad to part with him but my new life involves a lot of travel and his well-being is a top priority. I am looking for a loving home for him, hopefully someone who understands Pomeranians, a responsible person who can provide the attention he needs. A family with children would be perfect because he loves company.

Story
We did Brownie's DNA! He's about half cattle dog and the next biggest result was Boxer but he is mixed with many other breeds. Brownie is a sweet, energetic and spunky guy who had a rough start in life. He loves affection and is a good boy. He was found as a stray in Bonne Terre and got picked up by animal control, which is just a shed. We believe Brownie would do best in a more quiet home with older or no kids and an active owner that would spoil him and give him the life he deserves. Brownie will need a fence as he has a high prey drive and loves to chase the yard critters. If there are other dogs in the home they should be about his size or bigger. He loves to play with the other dogs. He has been introduced to the dog savvy catin the house and they get along okay.We only adopt to people in the St. Louis METRO area.
