Tiny little Lady Bunty Fox is a petite Pomeranian girl who was a sad surrender from a family home. Bunty was much loved but a sudden break down in the relationship meant she was signed over to us to find her new family. Bunty was very shy at first and her previous owner said she had grown quite sad at home and she didn’t want to play and had become withdrawn. When she first arrived in foster she was timid but within a few days her funny and friendly personality began to show and she was wanting the other small dogs to play with her. Like a typical Pom she is animated and a little crazy, wanting to show off and spin in circles for attention.
Sometimes Bunty can be a bit over excited and she would ideally live with another small, playful dog in her new home who wants to join her for zoomies and snacks. Bunty is loving her food and has settled in very quickly, with the right home we think she will bond very quickly with her now family and show her lovely sunny personality.
Bunty was a little nervous in the vet when she went to be spayed and will need someone patient ready to help her with her confidence. Her operation went well and her stitches can be removed next week. We also gave Bunty a booster vaccination so she is covered for the next twelve months. Bunty is only a tiny girl under all that fluff, weighing 3kg – she will need regular grooming and maintenance of her fabulous coat so it doesn’t get matted. Pomeranians can be little divas and whilst they look like tiny teddy bears, they can be demanding and high maintenance – tell us if you have had a Pom before. Please do not apply for Bunty on her looks alone, only fill in the form if you can meet all the requirements for her new home.
We are currently very busy and rescue spaces are extremely limited – PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU HAVE HOLIDAYS BOOKED OR ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO FINALISE THE ADOPTION IN GOOD TIME – we have a huge waiting list which we are constantly juggling as we hate turning away dogs in need. Please tell us about and breed experience on your application form. Whilst a loving home is SO important for a rescue dog, they will also need structure, routine, boundaries and long term commitment.
THE DOG YOU MEET AND TAKE HOME MAY NOT BE THE DOG YOU HAVE IN 6 MONTHS TIME – THEY CAN BE NERVOUS AND SHUT DOWN, TAKING TIME TO GAIN CONFIDENCE AND SHOW THEIR TRUE PERSONALITIES – THEY MAY PUSH BOUNDARIES AND BECOME HARD WORK BEFORE SETTLING FULLY. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU AREN’T FULLY COMMITTED TO ADOPTING AND DOING EVERYTHING TO MAKE THE PROCESS WORK.
