Guinness's Story
Guinness is a 6 year old male brindle Pomeranian who weighs about 13lbs. Guinness is a sweet boy who seems to have a traumatic past. He has significant scarring on his shoulder, suggesting that he may have been attacked by a much larger dog at some point. <br/><br/>Regardless of the specifics, whatever happened has caused Guinness to strongly dislike being picked up, though he loves attention. He loves sitting in your lap and giving kisses. He listens pretty well and is very quiet for a Pomeranian.<br/><br/>Guinness is treat motivated and does great in a crate and in the car. He walks well on a leash but a fenced yard is required because it will take a while to get him to accept wearing a harness. <br/><br/>Guinness was successfully groomed, but it took two visits and several medications. We are hopeful that with more time and exposure, he won't hate it as much. While medicated, we were able to pick him up several times with no growling.<br/><br/>He is mostly potty trained, but could use additional training. He gets along with most other dogs. <br/><br/>Guinness needs a Pomeranian savvy home with a fenced yard and no children. Please email dancersbridgedogrescue@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting Guinness.
