Every pet should have a chance at a happy and healthy life and a Pomeranian rescue dog is no exception. Congratulations on your new pet and also on your humane views on giving abused pets a second chance. If you take your time your new pet will reward you with years of love. But be patient with the little dog, it has been through a lot and will need time to adjust to a new home.

Sometimes the rescue shelter will tell you that their vet has already looked the dog over but it is always a good idea to get your own vet to look the dog over as well and as soon as possible. You never know what an abused animal has been through plus you will want to introduce your new vet and your new pet as soon as you can so your vet can get to know your dog and help with any questions you may have.

It is in the genes of a Pomeranian to be a natural alarm system and bark with that high-pitched bark at anything that moves or they think moves. A Pomeranian rescue dog then will probably be a barking machine because they are just coming out of a bad situation and will probably be on edge. You can remind the dog that barking is not necessary by being forceful and consistent but not mean. Over time the barking should begin to subside.

Housebreaking a well-adjusted Pomeranian can take quite a while so a Pomeranian rescue dog will probably be a challenge if they are not already housebroken. Try the standard housebreaking methods at first and be patient because it can take a long time for them to get it. If they are already housebroken then they will adjust quickly, but if they are not then you will have to train them and you will need to take your time and be ready for somewhat of a struggle.

A Pomeranian dog is known for its brash attitude and high intelligence and you may not see that right away with your Pomeranian rescue dog. But as your Pomeranian rescue dog adjusts to its new life with you and your family it will start to let its true personality show through.

Pomeranians are very intelligent dogs that like to get their way and are a very pompous breed of dog. You may notice a change in your Pomeranian rescue dog as time goes by and this is very normal. When a traumatized animal comes to you they carry their past with them and some breeds never really learn that their new surroundings are better. A Pomeranian should catch on that their days of abuse are over and they should begin to exhibit their real personality as time goes by.

Never punish your Pomeranian rescue dog. They have been through enough and they do not take to punishment well at all anyways. Always use positive reinforcement and a lot of patience. Show your dog that it is loved and it will give you back that love for years to come.

Stay patient and always use positive reinforcement and never punish your dog. Over time it will reward you with love.
