Rescues are NOT a source for breeding stock. Most rescue dogs are spayed/neutered before placement. One of the top reasons Poms are turned into rescue is for housetraining problems. They are not impossible, but are difficult to housetrain. We do recommend to individuals to consider adopting an older Pomeranian if it’s your first one. Housetraining is much simpler as the dogs are normally already trained. They bond quickly to their new owners. They seem to make the introduction to being owned by a Pom a bit easier on new owners. If you are interested in a non-rescue young adult and/or older Pom, many breeders do have nice altered animals waiting for good pet homes who for whatever reason have either not turned out for show, or have completed their championships and are looking for cushy couch homes.
