How much training will I need?

Needs ongoing support

Can I be left alone?

Potentially, once settled

As Lena was a stray we do not know if she has been left home alone before. She should be able to do a few hours once she’s settled in and had her training worked on.

Do I have any medical conditions?

Existing conditions

Lena has a current medical condition, namely a possible dental abscess which she has received a dental for, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed.

Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome him/her and you are a successful match.

We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home.

Can I live with dogs?

Can I live with cats?

Can I live with small pets?

Additional information

Lena is unsure around other dogs and shows this by barking at them. She will choose to avoid them so she would prefer to walk in area’s where there aren’t many other dogs, especially off lead dogs, so that she can enjoy her walks.

We are working on training around other dogs to help her feel more comfortable which will need to continue in her new home, without any expectations that she will want to meet dogs in the future.

What kind of family am I looking for?

Lena is looking for an adult only home without any young visiting children.

She is a worried girl and will take some time to build a relationship with her people but it will be so rewarding when she does.

Once she’s got to know you she’s an affectionate and loving girl who wants to curl up in your lap for a snooze.

What type of environment would suit me?

Lena will need a secure, private garden in her new home so she has a safe space to run around off lead and enjoy some down time.

Meet Lena, a petite Pomeranian with a big personality and an even bigger heart.

She’s a small girl in a big world and can be a bit vocal when she’s feeling unsure – but give her a little time, and she’ll soon show you her sweet, affectionate side.

Lena may be wary at first, but once she trusts you, she becomes a loyal and loving companion. She’s looking for a calm, patient home where she can feel safe and loved.
