Meet James, a beautiful 5-year-old Pomeranian with a soft white and cream coat and soulful brown eyes. Weighing around 15 lbs (though his fluffy coat makes him look larger!), James came into the shelter as a stray on 5/3/2025. Since then, he’s been quietly hiding in the back of his kennel—frightened, confused, and unsure of the noisy, unfamiliar world around him.
James hasn’t yet found the courage to go on walks with volunteers, but he’s slowly gaining confidence with patient attention from the shelter staff. His caregivers report that he appears housebroken and, behind the fear, he’s incredibly sweet. James isn’t broken—he’s just scared. What he needs is a calm, loving home where he can feel safe again. With time, patience, and gentle love, James is sure to blossom into the loyal and affectionate companion he was always meant to be.
🏡 James Needs:
- A quiet, low-stress home
- Patient, understanding humans
- A safe space where he can decompress and learn to trust again
If you’re the kind of person who believes in second chances and the quiet magic of earning a fearful dog’s trust, James is waiting for you. Come meet him at Animal Friends of the Valleys and be the one to show him that love is still out there.
