Bindy

Date of Arrival:  April 10, 2024

Last updated: January 25, 2025

Age:  Approx. 8 yrs old

Breed:  Pomeranian

Size:  Approx. 14 lbs

Gender:  Female

Adoption Status:  Application in process

Must Haves: Cozy beds, a fully fenced yard, a home where she can be with people most of the time, more cozy beds

Personality:  Bindy is as sweet as they come. She is quite reserved with people she doesn't know, but will be a little shadow and best bud to her people once trust is established. She adores 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:  We are looking for a home for Bindy with one or two other dogs (no less than one, no more than two). She would do well with dogs that are gentle companions, not rough or enthusiastic playmates. Bindy is also good with cats.

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 needs a home where her people have the time to actively engage and be present with her to help her come out of her shell. If she is left alone for extended periods of time, or there is not sufficient time and effort dedicated to building a bond with her, it will be a challenge for her to learn to trust and feel comfortable with her people. Once her trust is gained, her people are her world, and that is everything we want for her.

Bindy loves car rides and going on adventures with her people. She would likely do well as a dog that goes to work with her human.

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.
