About Godiva

Godiva is a 10-month-old, 7lb Pomeranian with a long, soft coat and a gentle spirit. She landed in foster care after her previous owner, who bought her on impulse, realized they didn’t have time to care for her. Godiva has adjusted well to her foster home, living alongside both dogs and cats without trouble. She gets along with everyone but needs a home that truly understands the quirks and needs of a Pomeranian—ideally with another pom or someone with real experience with the breed. Godiva benefits from a calm, adult-only environment (or one with older, gentle kids). She’s not suited to chaotic homes or owners away for long periods, as she does have some separation anxiety. Her ideal adopters work from home or have the flexibility to include her in daily outings; she enjoys being near her people as much as possible. Godiva is vaccinated, microchipped, and will be spayed soon. She’s eager for a household that’s committed to meeting her social and emotional needs. Only adopters in the Greater LA area will be considered, with a required meet-and-greet and home check. Give this little sweetheart the second chance she deserves. Ready to fall in love?
