Meet Gomez

Meet Gomez, a 13 year old 19 pound Pomeranian. This sweet guy is looking for his hopefully forever home. Gomez was adopted from Needy Paws as a 5 year old back in 2018 to what he thought was his forever home. But sadly his adopter abandoned him 8 years later as he was found roaming around by himself in a field in Jefferson County and taken to animal control where we happily reclaimed him. His owner was contacted but never reclaimed him. Gomez is a great dog who has been through a lot, he lost his home, he lost most of his beautiful fluffy hair due to a much-needed grooming, but don’t worry it’s growing back, he’s lost his hearing most likely to old age and he recently lost most of his remaining teeth due to neglect. He has a few back teeth left and this has not affected his eating. Gomez is pretty healthy and happy for an old guy, with just the normal aches and pains of an elderly dog due to some arthritis in his legs. He does sometimes have a slight cough due to a slightly softened trachea, but otherwise no other symptoms. He gets along fine, just more slowly than a younger dog. He would do best in a home with few to no stairs and with someone who is home a lot. He’s great with the other small dogs and cats in his foster home. Gomez will need to go to a home with a fenced in yard, no exceptions. He is potty trained and will let you know when it’s time to go outside to potty. He does like spending time in the yard just walking around and checking things out so he will need a fence. Most of all he loves snoozing in his dog bed. This little man is extremely sweet and deserves to find a home that appreciates all his good qualities. His foster knows his perfect home is out there. If you are interested, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www. NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Gomez’s adoption fee is $150.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.
