PLPR is a Pomeranian and small breed dog rescue based out of Lebanon, PA.¬† Our board is comprised of seasoned rescuers who all have the goal of saving dogs and providing them with the best care possible. ¬† We save the abused, neglected, and abandoned from shelters, puppy mills, and owners¬†who can no longer keep their pets. Our rescue is not a shelter and all our dogs are kept¬†in foster homes where they are treated like family until their forever home is found.¬†¬†PLPR provides all vet care our dogs need. This includes a vet exam, fecal, Accuplex,¬†core vaccines (Rabies, Parvo/Distempter, and Bordatella), microchip, bloodwork and x-rays if needed, spay or neuter, and dental. We also ensure that our dogs receive the best¬†care possible which sometimes includes specialist visits and costly diagnostics or¬†surgeries. PLPR relies on the support of our community and followers to provide the care our dogs¬†need to be healthy and live their best life.

Pampered Poms Rescue
#100 in United States, #4 in Missouri, #2 in Kansas City
#3 in pomeranian
Pomeranian
Kansas City
We are a RESCUE, which is very different than a shelter. Instead of hours, we have appointments. You may fill out an Adoption Application first, or call us to set up a time to meet the dogs we have for adoption. They may all be at our location, but some may be in foster homes. We need to get an idea of which dogs might be a good match for you, then proceed. Adoption is a process. We want to learn about you, as you learn about the pet. We want to make the best match possible for each dog. Some may need a fenced yard, others may do well in an apartment with only leash walking. Some may need a human at home during the day. We try to evaluate each dog thoroughly to see what they need. Sometimes there could be five Poms you can meet all at once to see which one you are attracted to. In the past we have had as many as 8 Poms at once. We get our dogs from a variety of places. Many animal groups work together in this area. Everyone knows we are the Pom Rescue so they may want us to take a Pom because we know more about the breed. We have people that adopt from us that have had this breed for decades, and may choose to adopt, instead of purchase. Most come from individuals who cannot care for the dog. Often times it boils down to finances. Things like housing, jobs, or lack of, allergies, kids, and owners passing are reasons we might get a dog. Most of the times it is not the animals fault. Sometimes the dog needs extra training or is special needs. Life happens, and we try not to blame the humans for making hard decisions that affects this furry friend they are respondsible for. We are always glad in the end that the dogs came to us. We hope to make the rest of their lives, the best of their lives. When we get a dog, our first priority is Love and Acceptance. It is very important the dog feel safe and loved. Then we evaluate the behavior, health, and needs of the dog. We do all the medical before searching for the perfect home. We have fantastic vets who give us a small discount and is awesome with tiny special dogs that often need major surgery. We get applications from far away and many ask about transports. We will contemplate a long distance adoption and we have done this many times. If we have a great application locally it will likely be picked first. Some special needs dogs may be eligible because its harder to find them homes. There are other rescues who will transport dogs to you, but we will not. If you adopt long distance and are approved you must drive here to get them. Sometimes the adopter isn't approved until we meet in person. Meet n greets are so important, for the dog and the people. Personalities and characteristics can't be shown in a picture. Please understand its hard to make everyone happy and its the dog that matters most. Fortunately we are a small rescue and never have a problem with space. The dogs can stay with us as long as needed for rehab or while searching for the perfect home. We are a state licensed, non profit and rely on donations to operate. We charge adoption fees, but often the bills go beyond a reasonable donation fee. We also provide things like collars, leash, harness, kennel, food and grooming for every dog we adopt out.

How to Deal With Food Aggression in Dogs (Facts + Infographic)
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
Comprehensive Guide to Scent Training for Dogs (Facts + Infographic)
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
How Much Does it Cost to Train a Service Dog?
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
What is and How to Handle Potty Training Regression
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Coprophagia: Why Does Your Dog Eat Poop?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!

Rottweiler Aggression: Signs, Causes, and How to Handle It

Dog Reactivity Chart: Understand and Fix Dog Reactivity
Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (like a car or bike) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling feels embarrassing for you — and it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
How to Socialize Your Reactive Dog
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
