Breeder Abandoned 5-Month-Old Pomeranian Because He Was “Too Big”, They Probably Regret It Now

ADVERTISEMENT

Dogs may be man’s best friend but this doesn’t mean that man is always friendly towards dogs. Whether it’s dog fighting, abuse or neglect there are some people out there who are pretty cruel to these animals. Bertram the Pomeranian learned this horrible lesson when he was left behind by his breeders because he was ‘too big to sell.’ Luckily for Bert, New York artist Kathy Grayson found him on petfinder and immediately decided to adopt the pup.

Originally listed as “Jasper,” she said there was something about his eyes that caught her attention. “I flew to Tulsa and drove to the town to pick him up, it was a wonderful adventure. The shelter was sad to see him go, he definitely had gotten some special extra love there,” Grayson told Bored Panda.

The gallery owner isn’t the only one who noticed something special about Bert, the internet has fallen in love with the Pomeranian and he now has over 93k followers on Instagram.

In his spare time, he works as an “art connoisseur” in his owner’s gallery The Hole. “I love when people come to the gallery to see Bertie or when they bring their dogs to meet Bertie! The gallery is free and open to the public so come on by and pet him!” said the artist.

When it comes to Bert’s incredible social media success, his owner says she is not surprised, “Bert is a wonderful guy and makes people happy, the internet and social media is built for cute animals, people need an antidote to all the nastiness.”

Scroll down to see the most adorable thing you’ve seen all day!

When Bertram The Pomeranian was only 5 months old, a dog breeder abandoned him

The reason being that the puppy was ‘too big to sell’

His owner Kathy Grayson found him on a pet adoption site and brought him to NY where she owns an art gallery

“Bert is very calm and chill, inquisitive and silly”, Kathy says

Now, Bert helps Kathy in her art gallery as an art connoisseur

“I gave him his own Instagram as he was taking over my art gallery page! I need to post paintings and people just wanted to see Bert”

“I love when people come to the art gallery to see Bertie or when they bring their dogs to meet Bertie!

ADVERTISEMENT

And even though his life started off a bit rough, he now enjoys living in NY

Bert’s now a social media star, with over 95k followers on Instagram, and Kathy says she’s not surprised

“Bert is a wonderful guy and makes people happy, the Internet and social media are built for cute animals, people need an antidote to all the nastiness”

He recently turned 5 years old and celebrated his birthday in style

And surely has many more happy years to come

I have a Pom with a similar story--tossed away years ago by a puppy mill breeder. Mine needed years of work to fix the damage done to her mind/body by that inhuman POS. However, I saw her on the Mill Rescue's site and I NEEDED her.

For those who accuses all dog's breeders. Normal professional breeding has nothing to do with puppy farms. The right breeder will never abandon the dog he bred. Even if the dog does not fit the breed standard. Never ever they will give their dogs to the petshops. My close friend is a dog breeder, and seveal time he took back dogs, which were thrown out by their "loving" owners. He healed them and found them forever homes. This all was done with the money from his own pocket. That's because the true dog breeding is a great responsibility and barely a easy money-making activity.

"Barely" an easy money making activity indicates that it is still kind of an easy money making activity. Maybe you need to choose your words more carefully. Also, boo to your friend.

Breeding dogs for profit is puppy prostitution. I will never understand paying an over inflated price tag for a dog that is "pure" when there are so many unwanted animals already in existence. Adopt, don't shop.

Hi Bertie! Just thought I'd let you know my pom looks just like you, but she's a girl named Maya. She came from a breeder so I consider her a rescue that was among so many Poms that she didn't have any personality at first. But, over time, she even started cuddling and barking! I call her my little hippy dog (free spirit). You little chocolate Poms are sooooo cool. Thanks for speaking out for all dogs and encouraging us to adopt. I'd wish you luck, Bertie, but it looks like you've got it made you adorable fuzzy buddy! If you ever want a photo of Maya, just let me know.

So y'all just gonna think we up and forgot the pics you posted recently from the cat breeder? Which is it, breeders bad or breeders good? I propose a theory: the breeder in this article sucks, the cat breeder you featured recently sucks, and Bored Panda sucks for giving them a place to advertise their wares. And if you think I'm going to forget this hypocrisy for the future, guess again.

God bless you both. I wish everyone was as loving to homeless pets . I wish there was a law preventing breeders, puppy mills and flat out cruel people from getting animals at all. It's sickening the cruelty that most people aren't even aware of . Help an animal in need if you're able. But please do not hoard them. That's actually hurting not helping.

OK, good breeder or backyard breeder? It looks like the case of the second. Also: too big or too old? Too big = bigger than standards of the breed; too old = not many people buy older puppies.

Thanks for sharing this lovely story, Bertram's owner. This made me smile. As a dog owner, I'm also especially happy to see pics here where the dogs actually have their nails properly and healthily clipped short. (Too many long-nail dog pics around). He looks like well-cared-for and such a happy lil guy.

And this article just shows again how strict global regulation in breeding any kind of animal is so badly needed. All too often we read about terrible conditions for the animals, scrupulous breeders who are only in it for the money and who breed animals that are so sick and unhealty that they suffer from the day they were born till the day they die. Luckily this lovely dog seems to be healty and having a great life.

The bond between you and your fur babies that matter. You can find your fur baby everywhere, abandoned in street, strayed near your home, even from your local animal rescue, but not in pet shop... fur babies are not commodity...

Breeders aren't bad if they care for the health and welfare of the animals.

Too cute to disown, which motherf***ers would want to get rid of the cute ball of fluff

yet another point against breeders.....until there are no more in shelters and there aren't 4 million animals being put down every year, there is just no excuse. If it were a requirement of dogs to have purebred owners, nobody would own one.

Too big , meaning past cute puppy stage or too big as in not a "teacup"? He looks pretty small to me and he is very handsome too!

I wish there were really strict and enforced laws that only allowed ethical people to breed animals under license. Too many "breeders" run puppy mills and think of animals as disposable commodities. Makes me sick. That little Bertie is adorable. Glad he found a good home.

i'm so glad someone good so the blessing in this little guy, what a loser that breeder was, all about money, greed, what goes around will someday come back and bite the original bredder in the butt, karma...

Must be imbecilic breeders. This dog is unbelievably cute. You could have STILL sold him for a good price. Seriously, I've been on this page at least 5 times because I keep looking at that sweet face and clicking.

this dog looks so happy, so cheerful and healthy that the lady who has adopted it must make a lavish eramente fabulous. There is no question if he knew that little puppy was abandoning Bert's ex-mistress. now mum will be a happy woman for many years, I wish you both good luck

Thanks for sharing this lovely story, Bertram's owner. This made me smile. As a dog owner, I'm also especially happy to see pics here where the dogs actually have their nails properly and healthily clipped short. (Too many long-nail dog pics around). He looks like well-cared-for and such a happy lil guy.

He looks like a little bear. What an idiotic reason to toss a dog. Incidentally, a big Pomeranian is known as a "throwback," not in the sense of something to discard, but rather a return to the original Spitz.

I really can't stand breed specific criteria, but theres big money to be had so goes intelligence. Dog's , in my opinion are just like people, different. This pom is so adorable, thankful someone seen him for what he is, priceless!

If people who look for that perfect pure breed dog stop buying them, then puppy mills run by awful people wouldn’t exist. If you are a good person, you wouldn’t mind having any kind of dog. Adopt, don’t buy.

"he internet and social media is built for cute animals" Very true here. But that also counts for real life. People want "cute pets".

And this article just shows again how strict global regulation in breeding any kind of animal is so badly needed. All too often we read about terrible conditions for the animals, scrupulous breeders who are only in it for the money and who breed animals that are so sick and unhealty that they suffer from the day they were born till the day they die. Luckily this lovely dog seems to be healty and having a great life.

I just hope that the owner really IS honest. Sometimes once they reach a certain number of “followers”, they get paid by certain companies.

Pretty little guy. Still I don't understand why some people think they have to dress their animals just for cuteness. It's a dog not a doll.

It's definitely a bear. Lol... He is adorable and little bit sassy... I hate the breeder. Every dog is beautiful. You don't need special breed. Not the breed that matter. The bond between you and your fur babies that matter. You can find your fur baby everywhere, abandoned in street, strayed near your home, even from your local animal rescue, but not in pet shop... fur babies are not commodity...

Omg, those orange booties, and the "singing" like he's the biggest dog in the woods, and those sweet eyes! I'm dyin' here. It's their loss and her fortunate gain. Good all the way around.
