Wigglesworth - Pomeranian Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Wigglesworth 9 y/o | 13 lbs | male | Pomeranian Mix

Wigglesworth is a quiet, gentle soul who takes life at his own pace — and once he decides you're trustworthy, he'll let you know with the subtlest tail wag. This fluffy little guy loves short walks, a good meal, and long naps tucked under a chair. He's not looking for excitement; he's looking for home.

He's made meaningful strides in foster care: he understands "come," walks on a leash (with a little coaching), uses wee pads reliably, and happily settles in a crate. When he's ready for connection, he'll bring you his favorite toy — a soft, unmistakable way of saying he likes you.

Wigglesworth is shy, and that's not a flaw — it's just who he is. Outdoors, the world still feels big and uncertain to him. Indoors with people he trusts, he's relaxed and content. He communicates his comfort level clearly: he'll let you know when he needs space, and he'll let you know when he's ready for closeness. Added Bonus: He has no separation anxiety when left alone.
