With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Pomeranians on this page are with Many Tears Animal Rescue, All Dogs Matter, Cheltenham Animal Shelter, Foal Farm Animal Rescue, West Wales Poundies Dog Rescue, Woodside Animal Welfare Trust and 10 other rescues. Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

Yes, the breed can. The Royal Kennel Club lists a flat as a suitable size of home for a Pomeranian, which needs up to 30 minutes of exercise a day. Ask the rescue whether this particular dog would be happy in a flat.

Yes. The Royal Kennel Club says the Pomeranian sheds and suggests grooming its medium-length coat more than once a week. Dogs Trust says two or three times a week, plus regular professional grooming, and PDSA says more often when shedding.

Up to 30 minutes a day, according to The Royal Kennel Club, or around half an hour according to PDSA. Dogs Trust says they need daily walks, play and enrichment but might not manage long or strenuous walks.

They need care in the heat. Dogs Trust says Pomeranians are at higher risk of heat stroke and describes them as brachycephalic, and PDSA's heatstroke advice names them among the flat-faced breeds most affected. Walk in the cool of the day and ask your vet for advice.

Very small. The breed standard gives an ideal weight of 1.8 to 2 kg for dogs and 2 to 2.5 kg for bitches. With an adult rescue Pomeranian, you know its size already.

The Royal Kennel Club gives the breed's lifespan as over 12 years, and Dogs Trust says typically 12 or more. That can mean a long commitment, which is one reason older Pomeranians are worth a look too.

PDSA lists luxating patellas, eye conditions, tracheal collapse and CM/SM among the problems the breed can be prone to, and Dogs Trust says Pomeranians are brachycephalic. Ask the rescue what vet checks this dog has had, and what insurance it might need.

We only list dogs with rescues, so there is nothing to buy here: every Pomeranian on this page is adopted for the rescue's fee. If you decide to buy, The Royal Kennel Club runs a Find a Puppy service, and Dogs Trust suggests talking to your vet, and says some practices offer pre-purchase consultations covering likely health conditions, rough costs, finding a responsible breeder and testing for inheritable diseases. With an adult rescue Pomeranian you know its size, and the rescue can tell you about its personality and vet history.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 8 of the 23 Pomeranians listed in the UK as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Pomeranian on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, and Dogs Trust £300. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "pomeranian puppies for sale", the Pomeranians here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.

Yes: 1 puppy of the 23 listed in the UK is 12 months or under by the listed age.

Yes: 6 Pomeranians of the 23 listed in the UK are aged 7 or over by the listed age. Some rescues charge less for older dogs: Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over.
