Einstein - Pomeranian Dog For Adoption

eglected, and made to fend for themselves. They were abandoned in a home for several months and the only face they saw was a neighbor who would throw food through the front door. Albert and Einstein were extremely fearful when they arrived in our care. After they finally began to open up, we discovered both boys tolerated very little from humans, dogs, and cats. Everything overwhelmed them and they both reacted as if they were backed into corners when humans or animals refused to give them their space. Having bit both humans and dogs, we sought help from a board-certified behaviorist and sent Einstein to a trainer for 30 days. We also had him in several homes and have been able to determine his triggers and his needs. He is currently with the president of the rescue who has extensive experience with aggressive dogs. She reports that Einstein is one of the best dogs she's ever had!! The key to Einstein's success is his environment and his person. He needs a stable home with someone, preferably a woman, who has an alpha personality. (Too much traffic in/out of a home is too overwhelming for him. His abuse and neglect was at the hands of a man, so he remains a little sensitive with some men. He also needs someone who can give him clear guidance and spend lots of time with him as he is a lover, a snuggle bug, and just wants to be with you.) Einstein would also do best in a home as the only pet. (He is currently living with four other dogs and must be contained in a different room whenever dogs and humans are eating or treats are given. He exhibited a good bit of jealous behavior whenever a dog would come into "his space". This has since resolved and he has learned that his current foster is able to pet more than one dog at a time. This is where someone with an alpha personality would do best by him.) We have learned that Einstein will allow his triggers to build up before he lashes out. And we are happy to say that he has not had any aggressive episodes whatsoever in his current foster home. He is quickly correctable, eager to learn, and loves to love and be loved. We must be extremely particular in placing Einstein in his furever home, as we will not set him up for failure. Einstein cannot go to a home with senior citizens, children, or where grandchildren visit often. If you are a strong, independent person who is active and loves quirky Poms, this guy is for you. Einstein will be the best dog you've ever had too...if you are the right person for him. We will send Einstein out on a one-month trial period to ensure it's a good fit. Adopter must be willing to have patience and return Einstein to the Harrisburg area in the event it doesn't work out. Einstein weighs 17 pounds and is ready to move on from his past! He is neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped, and has been heartworm/lyme tested. You can follow his progress on our Facebook page or apply to adopt at PomPaws. Pawsitively Pom Rescue has a set $250 adoption fee.
