Bindy

Date of Arrival:  April 10, 2024

Last updated: September 22, 2024

Age:  Approx. 7 yrs old

Breed:  Pomeranian

Size:  Approx. 14 lbs

Gender:  Female

Adoption Status:  Bindy is available for adoption

Personality:  Bindy is as sweet as they come. She needs a bit of time before she is comfortable with people in the home, but will be a little shadow and best bud to her people once trust is established. She loves cozy dog beds, stuffed toys, and chews.

House training/Pee Pad Training:  Bindy is pee pad and outdoor trained, but has only learned these skills since coming to Cupcakes Rescue. Her new family will need to be patient in the event that she temporarily regresses while adjusting to life in a new home.

Walks/Leash Training:  Bindy had no experience with a leash prior to coming to Cupcakes. Her fosters have started this process with her but future adopters will need to be prepared to continue working on leash training with Bindy.

Children:  Bindy is easily frightened by quick movements or loud noise, so we are seeking a quieter home with older, dog-savvy kids.

Dogs, Cats and Other Friends:  Bindy gets along well with all of her current fur siblings, but would also be perfectly happy as an only dog. She does not interact much with the other dogs in the home.

Best Home Environment:  Bindy will do best in a home where she is allowed to take her time to grow in confidence. She is terrified of thunder and will need help to work through this. She doesn't immediately trust people; patience will be required. Bindy requires regular grooming in order to prevent her coat from matting. She loves to explore outside, so a home with a secure, fenced yard is a must.

A note about secure fencing - While each dog is different in the level of security needed, we require the fence be of a height that the dog could not jump over (some of our dogs can easily scale a 5 foot fence), no gaps in fencing, gate is secure, and the bottom of the fence is also free from gaps or areas where a dog could dig out from underneath.

A note about being a flight risk - Flight risk can be the result of many things, including fear, lack of "street-wise" skills, or incredible curiosity for the sights, smells, and sounds on the other side of the fence. Any of these reasons could lead to the dog attempting to break free of their leash or seek out gaps so they can move past the fence.

We strongly encourage adopters to enrol in a basic obedience course with the dog they adopt. Participating in an obedience course can help build trust between human and dog, help the dog gain confidence and social interaction skills, and build strong recall skills, in addition to the on and off leash skills that basic obedience training can provide.

Health:  Bindy has completed her vetting and is a clinically healthy dog. She has arthritis in her right knee, and will require daily supplements to keep the condition from worsening and to keep pain to a minimum

History:  Bindy is a breeder surrender. We are thankful to Jenn from Jenn's Furry Friends Rescue for reaching out to us and helping bring Bindy to Cupcakes.

Adoption Fee:  Bindy's adoption fee is $500.
