Our New Year’s letter…..
With postage and printing costs out of sight, we sent out very few Christmas cards and letters sent out this year. I am sorry, but I know that you will understand us cutting costs where we can.
Happy New Year to our PomRescue.com family, friends and supporters!
Thank you so much for your friendship, donations, support and prayers over the years.
Our pupdate this year:
Bonnie Thompson, my great friend & board member – facilitated 2 Pom adoptions from VA! She rescued, fostered, had them vetted & adopted them out to a great home TOGETHER.We get to see daily updates on FB of Chloe & Simba. I am so grateful for Bonnie and all the hard work that she does!
Here in SC, we have THREE blind dogs now. Despite two shots of insulin a day, Trouble’s Diabetes led to cataracts and blindness. He was really pitiful at first, but then has adjusted very well to being blind.
Our blind, diabetic Lucy has continued to do well with her insulin and seems to have had one eye become clearer. She is the sweetest, smartest, huggable little girl!
Buddy, is our blind and deaf sr boy from last winter. Once I realized that he would not drink water, I added enough warm water and canned food to his kibble to make ‘gravy’ and that hydrates him very well. He is a funny little character and has come to love us in his own, grumpy, little way. He takes a couple of ‘walkabouts’ in the back yard a day, and is mostly found happily sleeping in his bed on his back, all paws up in the air!
Tiny, toothless Tundra is having some Dementia issues, but doing well for her age. She has a thick, beautiful coat that makes her look about three times bigger than she actually is.
Ms Kelsey is struggling with arthritis and weight gain which has not helped her already unstable disposition. Some days she will want to snuggle and others she might chase your ankles out of the room! One never knows…
Ryder is doing fairly well. Still barking and barking and barking, which is why he would not make it in a normal household. He has no ‘off button’. We chalk this up to his age related Dementia as well. He enjoys eating, and anyone that will pay him some attention, and I have learned to enjoy noise cancelling head phones! LOL
Wolf has made a miraculous recovery. After the loss of Guardian all he wanted to do was lay on a pillow. It was sorrowful indeed to see him. Chief has changed all that. Once again, Wolf is part of a ‘dynamic duo’! If you see one, you will see the other. Wolf has no fear and also has no idea that he is not ‘Wolf-size’ and bosses Chief around constantly. This past Spring, Chief watched Wolf jump in to the above ground pool and would sit on the side, hanging his head and whining. He was pitiful! Once the water was warm enough Ronnie and I got in the pool and got Chief in there with us. He took off like a true ‘water dog’. Before long he was jumping in on his own any time we opened the pool gate! Without even teaching him, he would go to Wolf’s ‘surf board’ and tug the rope pulling Wolf around in the pool. If you know me and my cameras, you know that I have all kinds of funny footage and vids of the two of them splashing it up! They make me laugh and smile every day. Speaking of laughing and smiling-
We wish you and your’s a HAPPY NEW YEAR and may 2023 be even better than 2022! May God bless you.
Big hugs- Elaine, Ronnie, Chief and all the Poms of PomRescue.com
We hope that if you feel led, you would make a contribution to help the sanctuaried Poms and help keep us up and running. Thank you so very much!
Merry Christmas!

‘Mayhem Ensues’ Christmas Video
For better or worse, here it is! Our 2022 PomRescue.com inc Christmas video.
The title must be:
‘Mayhem ensues’!
Please share. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and helps us pay for vetting, pays for dog meds, dog food, & dog supplies for the sanctuaried Poms AND rescue when we can. For those that might not know us, we are a foster based rescue(meaning we have no buildings, parking lots, utilities, etc to pay for). We also have NO paid employees. We are all volunteer. We do not hire fundraising companies, but do the fundraising on our own…Like this goofy video.
We have THREE blind dogs, and one of them is blind and deaf(& just a teeny bit grumpy-Buddy), and the other two are Diabetics and take insulin twice a day(Trouble & Lucy). Three of the Poms have severe behavior and health issues that make them unadoptable(Tundra, Ryder, & Kelsey). Wolf, the most ‘lively’ of the Poms is a ring leader and leads our ‘guardian’ dog, Chief on a merry chase…ALL. DAY. LONG.
I don’t think we will be sending cards out this year, as the cost has gotten so high and it takes a ton of ‘woman power’ to get them sent, and this ‘woman’ is about wore out! LOL
Our video has become a yearly special for our friends and supporters. By sharing you can help us in this major fundraising effort of the year! Please share, and please donate if you can. Thank you so much!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
Thanksgiving came and went so fast. Our daughter and her family came and visited for a week. The dogs all love it so much when they have kids around! Lucy is a special favorite. Trouble has been with us 14(?) years and they all love Trouble! Lucy and Trouble are both Diabetic and blind. Trouble lost his site this year, so it has taken some adjusting, but he is doing well. Our third blind dog is Buddy. He came to us right before Christmas last year. He is a grumpy boy to most, but has come to love and trust us. I have worked on the Christmas video this week and I think I have it finished. Pls check back to see if I have posted it. It may be the craziest vid yet. Chief may be over a year old now, but he is still a big puppy at heart!
We hope that if you feel led, you would make a contribution to help the sanctuaried Poms and help keep us up and running. Thank you so very much!

Happy Holidays!
Time has flown! Now we are in to the Christmas Holiday and have started preparing for the Pom’s Christmas video. It should be out this week or next. All the dogs are doing fairly well. The insulin for Trouble and Lucy has been very costly and we may be looking in to some less expensive alternatives although I hate to mess with it as they are leveled out now and doing well.
We had 2 recent adoptions through Bonnie Thompson, our friend, board member and repeat offender, oh I meant ADOPTER! LOL Simba and Chloe were able to be adopted together to a lovely lady that has made them a wonderful family.
If you would like to make a contribution to help the sanctuaried Poms we could sure use the help. Thank you so very much!

Our Christmas letter for 2021
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to our PomRescue.com family, friends and supporters! Thank you so much for your donations, support and prayers over the years!
2021 has been another tough year. We were still in ‘Pandemic mode’ and so many of the sanctuaried seniors needed critical care. In the last 12 months, we have lost FIVE of our sanctuaried rescues. We lost Georgie (the KelpieX that came in with Bailey the Pom) in Nov, 2020 right after I made the 2020 Christmas video. She went in to urgent respiratory distress and was diagnosed with lung cancer. Then last Summer our 14 year old, rescued, Tibetan Spaniel, Ollie, passed here at home of age related heart failure. Just a few months after that, Angel’s, (one of our guardian German Shepherds), body gave out on her. She had horrendous arthritis, bad hips and various other ailments. Then in October(2021), Guardian, our biggest guardian dog, coughed a bit and seemed off. I took him to our vet and we did extensive blood work, xrays, and had checked him all over. It was found that he had a collapsing trachea and heart disease. We thought he was doing OK, but just a few days later, we were in the kitchen and he walked over towards the refrigerator, fell over and didn’t take another breath. After speaking to the vet, she seemed to think it was a heart attack. Then less than a month after Guardian’s passing, our (rescued for 10 years) Pom, Mollie, stopped eating, could not stay standing, and could hardly breathe. She got her wings as well. Mollie had gone deaf, was mostly blind, had severe Dementia, and had a collapsing trachea for the last five years. As I am writing this, my heart hurts for them all and I miss them.
I am sorry for all the sad news, but I have good news to share as well.
Lucy, the blind, diabetic Pom girl has blossomed! With 2 doses of insulin a day, she has turned in to a gorgeous, happy girl! Trouble is doing fairly well with his diabetes too. He gets 2 doses of insulin a day at the same time Lucy gets her’s. Tundra, Rider, Kelsey, Wolf are all doing good. We have a new ‘guardian dog’ now. He is a German Shepherd boy named Chief. He has breathed new life in to us all and has become Wolf’s best buddy. He, Lucy and Wolf play all day and wear each other out! It is so wonderful to see them play like puppies as they remind us that life goes on.
On 12/20/21 We rescued ‘Oscar the Grouch’. He is a senior, blind, and deaf Pom boy who had been picked up as a stray. They told us at the shelter that he was a ‘grumpy, old man’. I’m not gonna lie- he is! LOL But if I had been lost, blind and deaf, put in a shelter and then taken home with strangers and a house full of dogs I don’t know, I would be a bit grumpy myself. We will love him, help him get adjusted, keep him warm and clean, feed him good food and get him the vetting he needs. Hopefully ‘Oscar the grouch’ will be a lot less grouchy, when he gets to feeling at home.
We wish you and your’s the happiest of Holidays and may 2022 be better than 2021! God bless you.
Big hugs-
Elaine, Ronnie,
and all the dogs of PomRescue.com
