Newbie Alert! This cutie is JONI! STATS: 9 year old Pomeranian LOCATION: Pensacola FL NEEDS: Calm home, fenced yard. HIGHLIGHTS: Quiet and sweet. Sweet Joni is a 9 year old, 11 pound Pomeranian who was dumped in the woods with a bunch of other dogs. Luckily they all were rescued (and found homes). Joni was not very socialized and not familiar with being treated as a pet. However, with the love and patience of her foster mom, she has discovered that she enjoys living in a home and getting lots of loving. Joni is just starting to recognize her name, and wags her tail and wiggles when she's called. She likes lots of petting, but isn't fully comfortable being held, and she doesn't sit in a lap. Her foster mom has been working with her on both of those things and she is getting much better as she feels more secure and learns to trust. Joni sleeps in the bed with her foster mom and likes to cuddle up by her face, giving kisses now and then during the night. At first, she was terrified of the outside. When her foster mom took her out and put her down, she would bolt for the house and the safety of the sofa, with a stop to pee on the floor. But she has gotten much better about going outside to go potty although will sometimes use a potty pad inside. She has also started to explore a little bit outside after she goes potty. Joni is learning to walk on a leash but does not go potty on a leash and she really does need a home with a fence yard where she will feel safe and secure outside. She does not have any interest in toys and coexists with the other dogs in her foster home. She would likely be fine as an only dog as long as she had a person home with her most of the time. We do not think she would have any issue with cats and she is not going to be comfortable in a home with kids. Joni does still need to be socialized more. She has finally relaxed with her foster mom and loves cuddles and scratches, but trembles if there is another person around. It will probably take her a little bit to settle into a new home and get used to a new person. Joni has so much potential to be a wonderful pet! She has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, spayed, fecal tested, heartworm negative, has had a 12-month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with lifetime registration. When we had her spayed we also made sure she got a dental, so she is already to go to her new home!
