Found as strays running loose in a COW PASTURE , they were taken to a rural shelter. When no one came for them, they needed rescue~I drove up to the mountains of NC and met a volunteer transporter. Bess their hearts! They reeked and were covered in cow poop. Poor Carolina(the black Pom) had about a pound of poop hanging off of her tail. I got them back home, bathed them, de-wormed, deflea-ed and they settled in. Then I noticed Carolina was not eating, and had a sad look about her. I took them in to my vet and she was xrayed. Carolina was full of ROCKs! My vet sedated her and was able to remove the rocks. She spent the night in the vet hospital and is doing very well. We believed she ate the rocks out of HUNGER! They have both been xrayed, vaccinated, parasite & heartworm checked, and microchipped. Dixie had a dental and was spayed.
Now we are excited to announce that they have an adoption pending with our friends, and previous adopters- Cheyrl and Rick! Adoption pics will be posted soon Thanks for all you help- Elaine Harris

Notice of policy change: We sadly announce that we can no longer accept owner surrendered dogs in to the rescue. It is with sadness and regret that I must announce this. We must save what space we have for the ones that are already in shelters and may be facing immediate death. We thank you for your support and understanding in this matter. If some one needs to place a Pom, if you email us pics and contact info, we will be glad to share them with our Pom friends and rescue contacts.
Meet Princess:
This is Princess. She was rescued from a shelter. She was fully vetted: heartworm negative, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, had a dental, and had her dew claws removed. And now she has been ADOPTED! Have a happy life sweet Princess! Many more pics at this link. https://plus.google.com/photos/106497236357925664703/albums/5833076715135132369?authkey=CJqLmfn1nLDEwgE
Have a happy and blessed New Year from all of us here at PomRescue.com!!
We have now named this young fellow (we are told he is 15, but are having a hard time believing it!)Sir Quacks A Lot or ‘Quackers’ for short. Left at a shelter, he was going to have a hard time finding a home. Being blind, needing a dental and being a senior was all working against his chances for adoption. The rescue co-ordinator, Andrea, at Morristown Hamblen Humane Society took wonderful care of him and worked hard to get him safe to us. Rescue volunteer, Tammy Carper, drove him out of TN to meet me in Asheville, NC. I can’t thank them enough for helping us give him a fresh start. Please visit back for pupdates.
Quackers is doing very well and we took him to the vet for a good going over. Quackers had extensive blood work and his heart ’sounds good’. We got the OK to have his dental and he now has had his dental and neuter. We tried the T4 blood test as well, but his blood was too fatty to test. We are to retry after he heals from his dental as that infection can even affect the T4 results. They could not believe he is 15 either. No cataracts but he is totally blind. My vet suspects it was optic nerve degeneration, but he wasn’t letting her spend too much time looking at him – the little rascal. He sure can grow on somebody.

The MYSTERY is SOLVED! I went to the Post Office Thursday, and there was a box, with no card, or note. We had our suspicions, but Spanky, Trouble and I wanted to know but had no clue as to WHO SENT BOO! Now we know- June Dreskin, Wilbur’s Mom(now known as Piper) sent us Boo. Thank you June! We love him :0)
Congratulations to Bonnie and Dennis from Va. They adopted Wolfie. We could not have asked for a better home! Wolfie was found as a stray last Spring. The family that took him in and had him vetted were unable to keep him. He is a young fellow and very sweet. Wolfie is playful, and loves to run, play with other dogs and toys.
Thank you Bonnie and Dennis for the donations!!!

This is Buddy from a NC animal control. Buddy was found as a stray. He was so fearful that he was unable to be put up for adoption. The kind hearted rescue co-ordinator contacted us and took him home with her every day until we could arrange a transport to us. Buddy is doing fantastic! He is so happy that it is hard to remember how fearful he was when he first came. He had barked at my husband, Ronnie for about 3 days when he came home from work, but now he goes running up to him, dancing and pawing just loving the attention. I am being perfectly honest with you- if I could keep another Pom, it would be Buddy! I am really going to miss him.
He is eating well and playing well( he likes toys!) and he is so intelligent! Some one should be able to teach him all sorts of things. I also found out that he is leash trained and walks beautifully on a harness and leash. Buddy has been adopted to a wonderful family.
We had a BIRTHDAY! PomRescue.com inc turned 8 years old on July 12, 2012
This was the day that the the Office of the Secretary of the State signed our incorporation papers and made us official!
We could not have done it with out our adopters, our supporters, our helpers and the prayers that went up for us, when we were so tired we could not even pray for ourselves!
This link take you to a list of our ‘Happy Tails’:

It is some, but still not all of the dogs we have rescued along the way.
We feel truly blessed and hope that God will give us the strength to go on many more years!
On 6/23/12 I left for a 4 day visit in IL to meet our newest grandson, 4 wk old Ryan. It was the first time I had been away from home over night in over 5 years. When I returned on 6/26/12 at 8:00pm I came back in to one of the worst sickness we have ever battled since I have been doing rescue. When I left only Toodles had an upset stomach. My husband Ronnie was off of work and home the entire 4 days that I was gone and fought a valiant fight by himself – but this is unlike anything we have ever faced. It is as close to Parvo as you can be with out actually being Parvo. We lost Trevor 6/26 during the night and were devastated. He was with me all night, but when I awoke, he was gone. I took Toughie and Charlie in to the Vet the next morning. They started the bloody mess Tues night. The CBC shows that they have TOO MANY blood cells. When a dog loses blood it usually shows that they LOSE blood cells. The treatment is IV fluids. The Vet(not my usual vet) also gave a 2 wk antibiotic shot. He says that normal healthy dogs usually do fine-but because we have the old, weak and the sick, it is especially devastating for them. Ollie and Terra broke out with it Wed(6/27)night. They went back to the vet with me the next morning with Charlie and Toughie. I have NO IDEA where this virus came from. Maybe wildlife? The birds like to drink in the outside water dish and Trouble brought up a squirrel last week that we have no idea how it died. I took Trevor in to be cremated when I took Charlie and Toughie in. We are still numb from our loss. Nine years ago July 2012, I flew to NH and back in one day to rescue Trevor. He was our very first Pomeranian rescue and our first blind dog rescue. He taught us so much. Born blind, he never thought he had a disability. That is all I can write now. I hope to add happier stories as part of his memorial soon. Please keep us in your prayers and thank you so much for your support. Elaine Harris
Actually it was his happy ‘Gotcha Day’. Wilbur has been adopted!! After being with us 11 months, Wilbur is finally went HOME! We could not be more thrilled. June and Neal drove up to meet us. Wilbur accepted them right away as they did him. They are so understanding of his past abuse and are working past his insecurities in to the soft ‘marshmellow heart’ inside of Wilbur.
PUPDATE from June, Wilbur is now called PIPER. He is doing wonderful. Smiling, playing and going for walks. We want to thank June and Neal for their generous donation and donation of much needed supplies!

Our gift to you: The little sweet face in our logo is Tracker Jack. He was my first puppy mill rescued dog. A few years ago I wrote a children’s book telling a story about life in a puppy mill as seen through a dog’s eyes. I would like to share this book/video with you and your family. Spoiler alert* It has a happy ending!* Jack, Bubba and Sassy Pants do make it out! So grab the kids and the grandkids and enjoy just a little over 11 mins of ‘Tracker Jack in the Box, A Story of Puppy mill rescues’.
I still believe that EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO ENDING THE ABUSE! Please share their story with others. Also on FREE Podcast! http://pomrescue.podbean.com/2011/12/22/podcast-of-the-book-tracker-jack-the-story-of-puppy-mill-rescues-by-elaine-harris/
