Tate is a gorgeous Pom/Chin who is about 5 years old and 11 lbs.  He was surrendered by his owner who could no longer care for him.  Tate has a wonderful personality, calm and well mannered.  His previous owner indicated that he gets along well with cats, is timid around men and we aren't sure about kids because he was never around them. He might do ok with older, considerate children above the age of 10.  Tate is just a lovely dog and someone will be lucky to have him as a lifelong companion. Who couldn't fall for the big, soft brown eyes begging for someone to take him home?

(the bandages on his back legs are from surgery to have his dew claws removed).
