Often times, animal shelters will run ads in the paper on a regular basis just so people can become aware of them.

Buying dogs as puppies has a few advantages but it requires a bit of work too because they’ll need to be trained in many cases – especially if you get them when they’re very young.
Classified Ads

A good breeder is likely to ask you to give them some information about yourself, your home, other household pets and information about children living in your home. It’s important to be as honest as possible when you’re providing that information.
Choosing a Male or Female
Traditionally people tend to choose females when they’re looking for a small dog and males when they’re looking for a large dog. There are a couple of things to consider before you make your decision about a Pomeranian.
First of all, they’re equally easy to potty train. The males tend to act more puppy-like than the females do and they’re always seeking attention. Females are more independent and they’ll come around for attention but they’ll also back off when they’ve had enough. When it comes to fighting the females are much more likely to get into fights with each other than the males are. Female Pomeranians are the dominators and they can be very territorial as well.
It’s a good idea to meet Pomeranians in person before you agree to adopt one. This enables you to see how they interact with you and possibly your family members as well. Sometimes rescue shelters will let you bring a Pom home for a few days to see how it goes before they’ll transfer ownership of the dog.
Overall, Pomeranians make great household pets and they’re very enjoyable to be around too. They train rather easily, they’re intelligent and they make for great show dogs if that’s something you’re interested in.
Summary
Whether you have sadly found an abandoned Pomeranian or you’re looking to adopt one for yourself, make it a point to visit a local Pomeranian rescue shelter. These places work wonderfully for animals because they have their best interest at heart.
They will only place their animals in homes where they feel it’d be a good fit for both the animal and your family. You’ll be charged a minimal adoption fee that will help the shelter continue to do what they do best – help take care of the animals they have and to help them find good homes.
