This boisterous lady is a (snow)ball of fun! Come and meet her today!

Sky

Pomeranian

Female, 3 yrs 6 mos
Galveston, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sky is a 3-year-old, 8-pound Pomeranian with a soft white coat and a gentle spirit. Initially shy, she takes a little time to warm up, but once she does, she is sweet, laid-back, and eager to be part of the family. Every day, she is coming out of her shell a little more, showing her affectionate and loving personality. She is wonderful with kids, other dogs, and cats, making her an easy fit for a calm and patient home. Sky is quiet and reserved, and she needs an adopter who will allow her to blossom at her own pace with time and patience. Sky has luxating patellas, which is common in Pomeranians. They are not causing her any issues and just need to be monitored. She is also carrying a little extra weight and could benefit from losing a pound or so to keep her feeling her best. She is learning to go outside for potty breaks and needs continued practice on a harness and leash. With gentle guidance, she will continue gaining confidence in a loving home. Sky is fully vetted, spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Currently fostered in Deer Park, TX Adoption Fee: $650 Apply to adopt at www.tpsrescue.com

Toby

Pomeranian

Male, 4 mos
Galveston, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Toby is a 12-week-old brindle puffball with a big personality packed into his 8-pound frame, and he’s still growing. He’s expected to reach about 15 pounds as an adult, with enough energy and charm to fill every bit of that. The most animated of his litter, Toby is always in motion. Whether he’s chasing leaves, wrestling a buddy, or showing off his zoomies, this pup is ready for action. He’s high-energy and can be vocal when excited or eager to play, so he’ll do best in a home that can provide plenty of activity and enrichment. A backyard, regular playtime, or other dogs to romp with would be perfect for him. Toby adores kids, gets along well with other dogs, and is unbothered by cats or farm animals. He’s goofy, affectionate, and always looking to be part of whatever is going on around him. Toby has been fully vetted, including his vaccinations, neuter, microchip, and deworming. He’s thriving in his foster home and is ready for continued guidance and training as he grows into the amazing companion he’s destined to be. Currently fostered in Waller, Texas Adoption fee is $850 Apply to adopt at www.tpsrescue.com

Galveston, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Venus! This sweet 4-year-old lady is ready to make herself at home with you! Venus is quiet and reserved in her kennel, but gets the silliest bursts of zoomies in the yard where she then launches herself WWE style into you before running off again. Venus' favorite hobbies include playing ball (by herself - it's really quite cute to watch!) and rolling upside down in grass. Venus is housebroken and has lived in a home before, which makes her all the more dissatisfied with life in a shelter. Adopt Venus and let her fill your life with laughter, energy, and unconditional love!
