Houdini - Pomeranian Dog for Adoption in Yellville, Arkansas

Houdini is a very special boy looking for a very special person. He came to us from a hoarding case involving more than 50 dogs, and he has had very limited positive interaction with people. As a result, Houdini is extremely fearful and undersocialized and is still learning that humans can be trusted.

Houdini is completely non-aggressive and has never bitten anyone. His fear shows itself by wanting to avoid people, not by trying to hurt them. He is not the kind of dog who will immediately run up to a stranger for attention. He needs someone who understands fearful dogs and is willing to give him the time, patience, and space he needs to build confidence at his own pace.

One of Houdini's biggest comforts is other dogs. He is very dog friendly and finds reassurance in canine companionship. A confident, friendly dog in his future home could help him continue learning that the world is not such a scary place.

Houdini will need an adopter who is prepared for a slower journey. He should be considered a flight risk while he adjusts to his new surroundings, so secure doors and gates and careful management of leashes and new environments will be extremely important.

Houdini may not be an easy dog, but he is a dog worth giving a chance to. I truly believe that once he learns that he is safe and loved, he is going to be the sweetest boy. I can absolutely picture him becoming a cuddly little lap dog who wants nothing more than to curl up with his person. ??

He just needs someone willing to believe in him and give him the chance to get there.
