Sheba – 2 1/2 year old female Pomeranian
Sheba is a 2 1/2 year old Pomeranian who is looking for an understanding home and lots of love. She cannot be homed with children as she can be unpredictable if she gets scared. Sheba has bonded very well with me and although she only arrived yesterday (Friday) allowed me to groom all of her matts off on Friday evening. She was a right state!
Sheba came in as an Irish rescue dog. She was due to be put to sleep because she was snappy and scared of everyone, but when someone decided to sit on the floor with her and try and make friends she showed a bit of promise, so they agreed to send her over to the UK as she was far more likely to find an understanding home.
Sheba was purchased as a 6 week old puppy and kept tied up on a chain in the back yard until just a few weeks ago when the family decided that they didn’t want a vicious dog. The family were very rough and mean to her and it seems that she has been tormented and is snappy with new people.
When the Irish rescue went to collect her the family told her that she was not right in the head and there was definately something wrong with her mentally but blamed it on her past home and upbringing. The lady questioned when they got her…’At 6 weeks old!’
So…young Sheba (who was called Spike by the original family) is now looking for a quiet home, ideally with another dog. Once she has bonded with you (it took me about half an hour of gentle talking to her) she is a very cuddly dog, but appreciates gentle cuddles and stroking rather than rough play.
Sheba is great with cats and small animals, but I will not home her to go and live with children as they worry her. Over 16′s only please! Sheba would love to live with a retired couple or a quiet and understanding childless couple.
Initially you will see bared teeth and snapping, but if you can see past that and give her the benefit of the doubt, you will find a very affectionate dog beneath the initial reaction and discover a true gem.
Sheba has been spayed, microchipped and first vaxed, plus wormed and defleaed. She has alsio been shaved off. The next owner must understand that she has a very thick coat and needs to be brushed daily. If you are not prepared to brush her out daily or have her shaved every six weeks then please do not apply.
