Mandy - Pomeranian and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Fall River, Massachusetts

Meet Mandy!

How can you look at this face and NOT want to smush her? She's like a living, breathing cloud. If this doesn't give you a severe case of cute aggression or the tiniest bit of the warm-and-fuzzies...you might want to get that checked out.

Mandy is a sweet senior lady looking for her forever home. She's about ten years old and a whopping 10lbs. She's a friendly, social girl looking for her knitting circles...or her book club...or maybe a gardening club?

Mandy's only red flag is that she doesn't like her feet being touched. She HATES IT with the intensity of a thousand burning suns. She hates her paws being touched, hates her nails being trimmed, and will make it KNOWN. She will flail, kick, snap...and then immediately stop once you're no longer touching her feet. She's also kind enough not to hold a grudge and will be your best friend like it never even happened.

Mandy peacefully coexists with other dogs but doesn't really seem to care about their existence one way or another. Obviously we wouldn't place her with dogs that are a lot bigger or more energetic than she is because she deserves to live her golden years in peace. She would be fine with cats - again, she doesn't seem to care about them one way or another. Kids 12+ because...like we said, she deserves to live her golden years in peace.

If you're looking for a chill little lap dog, Mandy is your gal. She likes her walks but is just as content to curl up next to you on the couch. She does have a collapsing trachea - common in small, older dogs. Harnesses will need to be used instead of collars and the key will be to keep her calm. Regular vet care will be required and treatment will vary depending on severity and what you and your vet deem the best course of action.
