Jager (Jag) - Pomeranian Dog for Adoption in Toronto, Ontario

Jag is an 8 year old, 15 pound, spayed female Pomeranian. Her coat is cloud-soft but has shown no tendencies to mat so she always looks beautiful.

Going outside on leash walks is always Jag's chance to read pee mail, see who has cruised through her territory and take care of calls of nature. She gets down to business in a short time so there are never accidents in the house. She does tend to pull on the leash but, being a small breed, it isn't an insurmountable problem.

In foster, Jag is crated at night and when no one is home. She willingly enters the crate to get bedtime snacks. When alone, she complains but then settles.

Jag responds well to cues like 'off, leave it, come, sit and up'. We're working on 'stay' so that she doesn't bolt through outside doors. It's going well.

On arrival, Jag barked a lot but her barking decreased dramatically as she became accustomed to typical sounds and routines. Reinforcing her quiet times with treats has also helped when she reacts to strange sounds.

Although we were told Jag did well with young children in her former home, in foster she has not met any. Likewise, no cat interactions. She barks at dogs outside but not always at people. She has limited experience with other dogs in the recent past and has never lived with another dog. Friends entering the house are barked at but she soon settles and allows petting.

Due to barking at strange sounds, Jag would do best in a detached house with people who are home most of the time. She loves snuggling on a lap with hands stroking her. Please complete our Adoption Application if you think you would be a great match for Jag.
