I adopted Levi from a shelter eight and a half years ago and he's been my best buddy ever since. My mom was the first one to meet Levi when she was volunteering at the shelter Levi was in. It took her hours to gain his trust to pet him and coax him for a walk because he was very scared and shy, but she fell in love with him right away. As soon as she got home from the shelter, she called me right away and told me about him. She knew I loved Pomeranians and had been without my beloved Skipper for five years since he passed away.
The next day, I drove 50 miles to the shelter to see Levi. When I first saw him at the shelter, he was hunkered down in a kennel with half a dozen barking Chihuahuas. He was just sitting by himself with such a sad look on his face. He was very shy and scared. Nevertheless, I knew I had to meet him one on one. When the shelter volunteer brought him to a room to meet me, Levi sat on the opposite end of the room and just looked at me with his sad eyes. It took a long while, but he eventually allowed me to put a leash on him and take him for a little walk just outside the shelter doors. I guess you could say we were taking each other on a test walk to see if we were a good fit. I knew then that I wasn't leaving without him.
That first night we got home, Levi slept like a log with me on the bed. Little by little, we got to know each other. Day by day, the layers of Levi's mistrust and fear were peeled away. Before I knew it, we were chasing birds, going for long walks, playing ball, and having a great time together. We've been best buddies ever since. Six years ago when I met my fiancé Jason, Jason first had to pass the Levi test before I considered a relationship with him. Lucky for me, Jason loves dogs as much as I do and is now Levi's best buddy too.
Levi the sweetest Pom. He's very gentle and laid back. He loves other dogs and people. One of his favorite things to do is chase the squirrels in his backyard and play with his sister Annie. About two years ago, at the age of seven, he learned how to swim and loves fetching his ball at the lake. He loves the outdoors and going on long hikes in the mountains. He's just a joy to be with and is so happy, loving, and affectionate. He's the sweetest Pom ever.
