12. Kai
Young (2 years 2 months) · Male · Pomeranian · 16 mi from Brownstown





PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO BEFORE APPLYING! Meet Kai, a gorgeous 2 year old, 8 pound Pomeranian looking for a particular forever home. This little guy was crated 23 hours a day the first 2 years of his life before coming to rescue, and it left some lasting effects that a new owner must understand. He has some neurological issues like high stepping, excessive spinning, and dramatic vocal responses to unwanted handling. He also has some behaviors that need patience and delicate approach when it comes to grooming and vetting that includes using some calming medication before hand. Kai does not allow a harness or collar to be applied so a fenced yard is required.
Read more about Kai
He thrives with other small dogs his age to play with and show him the ropes. Kai will attach to his adult people once he trust you and that involves giving him some space to figure things out, providing him a crate for security, and understanding he will come around in his own time. Kai is a comical, affectionate boy once he settles in, does well in a dog carrier for car rides, is house trained to use pee pads or potty outside, and is doing well learning how to be a dog now. Kai is on anxiety medication that have literally saved his life, allowed him to break barriers, and be a dog again. These medications should be continued for life for his physical and mental health. Kai would not be a good match to live full time with children, but visits and short exposure would be okay with supervision. This little guy will need time to settle into a new home, space, and patience from a new family, but once he does, he will bring joy to a new home.
To adopt Kai, please complete an adoption application at peacelovepoms.rescuegroups.org. The $350 adoption donation ($250 for senior citizens 65+) includes core vaccines (Rabies, Parvo/Distemper,and Bordatella), Accuplex (Heart worm and Lyme test), fecal, microchip, bloodwork, neuter, dental, and all the love you can handle!

Adopting a dog in Brownstown
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
