Pumpkin

Senior Pomeranian

Hi. Unfortunately I’m looking to rehome my senior Pomeranian. I’ve had him for 7 years and he’s like my son. The problem is he’s getting older and I’m getting busier than ever. I don’t get to spend much time at home and I think that’s unfair to him. Like I said he is getting older and the vet said Pomeranians tend to live to 17 years. He’s currently 16 years old. I really want his last days to be with someone who has time to snuggle him often. All he does is lay around lol. He’s a cool dude that deserves better than I can give right now.
