🐾 Meet Beethoven the Adventurer!

Age: 10 years old(est.)

Breed: Pomeranian & long-haired chihuahua mix (est.)

Weight: 12.6 (est.)

Adoption Fee: $500

Beethoven (lil Beet) is a sweet, adventurous soul who is ready to find his true forever home. After coming to us as an owner surrender from an animal shelter in Southern Virginia, Beethoven has been coming out of his shell. He went from being wary of people to being affection-seeking, curious, and sweet. He does incredibly well off leash in my yard + on leash walking in bustling shopping centers and is potty trained to go outside (he gently howls when he has to go). He enjoys pets and boops/licks your hand for more, but does not like being carried; he prefers to do things on his own, e.g., jumping in the car. He is a low-maintenance dog who sleeps for most of the day—he’s just happy to be around his person and/or another small dog friend. He enjoys sleeping under my desk while I work at the computer during the day.

Lil Beet’s Likes:
• Car rides
• Walks + sniffs
• Treats
• Fluffy blankets
• Small dog friends
• Being around his person
• Classical, Jazz, and Justin Bieber music

Lil Beet’s Dislikes:
• Being carried

Ideal Home:
Because Beethoven initially found the world a bit scary, he is looking for a patient, loving home who will take him on car rides and outdoor adventures. He does best with people who respect his personal space and give him the freedom to choose what he wants to do—he seems to warm up quite quickly with people who do so. I believe he would do best in a household with another small dog, someone who works at home, or someone who can take him to work because he enjoys being around other small dogs and/or his person! Lil Beet is an incredible dog looking for his forever person to give him the best golden years.

Lil Beet has a likely collapsed trachea and cataracts (both common with older dogs). They don’t seem to affect his day-to-day. He sometimes coughs when he pulls on his leash, but doesn’t really cough when his harness isn’t on—the shelter was also using a slip lead on him, so I think he’s still recovering from that.
