**WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES** Homeward Bound Dog Rescue is an all volunteer rescue organization and all our dogs and puppies are in foster homes - we are not a shelter and do NOT have a facility where we house our dogs. For adoption information go to: www.homewardbounddogrescue.com. You must fill out an application online as we do NOT accept applications at our clinics.
Hi my name is Sandy. I'm just under a year old and 10ish pounds. They say I'm a Pomeranian, I don't think I'm a purebred, but does that really matter anyway! I have the softest fur and prettiest curly fluffy tail just like a Pom. I'm a pretty sandy color which is how I got my name.
I'm a shy girl, a little better than I was but I still have a ways to go. I came from a place where dogs are just for making money. I did not receive much socialization. I have a lot of potential though. I still run to another room if mom comes in the room I'm in.
I love all the dogs in my foster home except for the annoying puppy. My one foster brother would prefer me to stay away from him, he has his own agenda but I also have mine. I want to be his friend so badly that I lay down in front of him and roll around so he will think I'm just the cutest thing, but it's not working. I love to run and so do a couple of my foster sisters. We have a ball chasing each other at high speeds.
I need a secure fenced in yard and another pup who is looking for a sister. I have a good set of lungs and like to bark so apartment life is not for me. Mom read that is a trait of the Pom's.
I am working on coming when I'm called. I'm not great at it but I'm learning it's not nice to be left outside by myself.
During the day the door is open for me to come and go. There is a dog door but I haven't gotten the courage to use it yet. I will use a puppy pad if I don't get out in time.
The leash is not something I'm used to walking on. That will be a project for my new people, if they like to walk. I get car sick or drool heavily. Mom is going to try a drug she got from the vet to see if it helps me.
I am crated at night right next to moms bed. I sleep all night without making a peep. I can be destructive when left unattended which is why I'm crated. Since I need to be crated at night my forever home should have someone who is home a lot. It's not fair for me to be crated while you work and again when you sleep.
Now I will jump on the couch to be petted but I don't stay for long. I also don't pose long enough for pictures which is why there are only two.
I do like attention but I am scared of it at the same time. Someone with patience and willing to help me explore a new world where people are nice is something I need. I think I would get lost in the shuffle of a busy house, so a calmer home would be best. Older kids would probably be ok. No little ones please.
Will you be my forever??
Our adoption clinics are held one Saturday a month at our facility in Schenectady on John Street, located directly behind Boulevard Bowl (Erie Boulevard) from 10 am to 12 pm (directions are on our website). We require an approved application before we consider anyone for an adoption - so filling out the application is your first step. Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive an email invitation to attend an adoption event. Different dogs and puppies go up for adoption EVERY WEEK so please feel free to visit the site and click on the Petfinder link for updates as we are adopting dogs out in between adoption events. Puppies and dogs up to 2 years old are $395. Dogs over 2 years old are $295. 100% of the adoption fees go to help us save more dogs.
