About Neive

Neive came to safety from a crowded Los Angeles shelter, carrying the marks of both adversity and resilience. At about 12 years old and only 5 pounds, he’s a small Pomeranian with a medium-length white and cream coat, and a huge heart. Neive is blind and gets around on three legs, but none of this keeps him from being bubbly or affectionate. X-rays showed his broken leg never healed right—instead, it healed on its own, and he doesn't seem bothered by it as he scoots around just fine. This little guy is a real talker, always ready to share his thoughts with anyone who’ll listen. If you’re home most of the day, or able to bring a dog to work, Neive will be in his element. He does best where he’s included and heard, so someone who can be present and engaged is exactly what he needs. He gets along nicely with children, cats, and other dogs. What are you waiting for?
