Puffin Pomeranian Palatine, IL

Hi there! I'm Puffin! Oh, wait a sec...Foster Sister is walking by…maybe she wants to play again... (zooms off)

Sigh. She doesn't want to play and Foster Mom said I need to write this "About Me" thing. I want to play though. And play some more!! But fine, here goes:

If you haven't guessed by now, I LOVE to play with other dogs. I could go for hours! Fortunately, I have 2 foster sisters who love to play and they take turns, so when one is tired, I play with the other one. It's fun! Sometimes Foster Mom has to tell us to take a breather for a few minutes and go get some water. But I'm young and don't need a break!!  

I do really well in my crate now. At first I wasn't liking it too much until Foster Mom put the crate in her room at night. I just want to be by her and my foster sisters 'cuz it's scary being alone in the dark! I do just fine when I go in the crate in the kitchen when she's at work though. Foster Mom said I need to be crated because I'm still very much a puppy and will get into trouble if I'm bored.  

I'm also doing really good on this housebreaking thing. At first, Foster Mom didn't know my signals to go potty. Now she knows that if I leave the room, I'm either going to get water or I have to potty. Other times I will jump on the couch and try to climb all over her to get her attention. So now that she knows this, I haven't had an accident in a couple of days. Of course, my forever home is going to have to learn my signals all over again. But we can work on that.  

I have no issues with the other dogs and my toys or food. I even learned how to play tug with my foster sister, Kenzy! But squeaky toys are my favorite — I will squeak, squeak, squeak them for a really long time!  

I'm a happy, playful girl who has a lot of energy and sometimes I can be very stubborn about it. Foster Mom thinks that can be too much for little kids so she thinks it would be best if my forever home didn't have them. Or any cats...I keep trying to play with the cat who lives here and it's not going well. But another dog would be fun! And a lot of squeaky toys!  

Okay, homework’s done…gotta go play! Hope to see you soon!  

Love, Puffin

Please check our events page at http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org to find where this dog may be shown this weekend. If you are interested in adopting this dog, you must send an application or email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org prior to a Saturday Adoption Event so we know you plan on attending. If we do not receive any communication from you, the dog may be adopted out at our event prior to 12 pm if the perfect home comes along. :-)

The breed or breed mix listed for each dog is simply a guess. The profile software program requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. However, visual breed identification is unreliable. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog’s individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess. Dogs are individuals.

Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near Chicagoland... we are sorry but we cannot accept any out of state applications. We look forward to speaking with you!
