Story
Tyrion, a three-year-old Pomeranian with a regal name to match his undeniable charm, is a tiny lion with a heart full of mystery. Much like his namesake, Tyrion Lannister, he observes the world with quiet intelligence, preferring to assess his surroundings from the shadows before making his presence known. Timid and reserved, he is still learning to trust the hands that care for him, often seeking the safety of tucked-away spaces like under tables, beds, or crates. While he tolerates most handling, he isn’t fond of being touched on the top of his head, ears, or chin. Patience will be key in winning him over, but those who do will discover a little dog as sweet as he is adorable. Despite his small stature, Tyrion has strong opinions—especially when it comes to food. He appears to be a picky eater, though it’s possible his perfect meal has yet to be discovered. His quiet nature is another of his unique traits; he rarely barks, preferring to communicate in subtler ways. When he wants to go outside, he’ll go to the door like a proper gentleman, though his manners inside still need a bit of refinement. Like a ruler who insists on leaving his mark, Tyrion tends to `claim` his space, but he wears a belly band indoors to help manage his royal decrees. Out on walks, Tyrion is composed and cooperative, moving well in his harness with only the occasional pause. A gentle tug is all it takes to remind him to keep going. He pays little mind to the other dogs in his foster home, and his behavior around children, babies, or cats remains a mystery. Trust is something he gives slowly, but each small step forward is a victory. With time, patience, and understanding, Tyrion has the potential to blossom into a devoted companion—one who may never fight battles with swords, but is certainly waging one for his own heart.Interested in adopting this dog?
