This week’s rescue story is all about TWO sweet Pomeranians, Bambi and Kurtis! Their mom, Peggy, loves to share adorable pictures of them on Instagram, and I couldn’t resist sharing their heartwarming story with all of you! These two are the perfect example of the love and loyalty Pomeranians are known for.
The Famous Green Sock Monkey
One of the cutest things about Bambi and Kurtis is their shared love for a little green “sock monkey” toy. In one of Peggy’s Instagram posts, she shared a picture of both Poms “fighting” over the monkey. They have two other sock monkeys—a pink one and a brown one—but for some reason, they are both obsessed with the green one. (Typical Pomeranian behavior, right?)
Peggy mentioned that the poor green monkey has been stitched up multiple times because Bambi and Kurtis just can’t get enough of it! One day, Peggy thought the green monkey’s “playtime” had come to an end, so she tossed it in the trash. But, to her surprise, Bambi sat by the trash can, howling and crying for her beloved toy. Peggy couldn’t resist—she pulled the monkey out, gave it a good wash, and sewed it back up for more playtime. It’s moments like these that truly show the bond these Pomeranians have with their toys and with each other!
Seeing how sweet this “brother and sister” team is, I just had to learn more about them and how they came to live with Peggy!
Meet Kurtis: The Cuddle Bug
Kurtis’s story begins with a favor that turned into a lifelong commitment. Peggy was asked to babysit a puppy for a friend of a friend due to the owner’s illness. She was told it would only be for a week, and Peggy, being an animal lover, agreed to take care of the little pup. She has a reputation for giving animals the best care, and her friends know she would do anything to help a furry friend in need.
When Kurtis arrived, he was only 8 weeks old and weighed just over a pound. He was in terrible shape—his fur was flaky and crusty, and what little hair he did have was sparse. He was also full of worms and clearly craved attention. Peggy immediately stepped into action, feeding him puppy formula, cleaning him up, and rushing him to the vet.
A Rocky Start for Kurtis
Kurtis’s health was so poor that Peggy said they almost lost him twice within the first two days. But thanks to her love, dedication, and constant care every two hours, little Kurtis pulled through. Peggy tried contacting the puppy’s owner multiple times to give them updates, but she never received a response. After two months of trying to reach the owners with no luck, Peggy decided that Kurtis was meant to stay with her. She officially welcomed him into her home and her heart.
Kurtis’s Transformation
For the longest time, Peggy didn’t even think Kurtis was a Pomeranian because he had barely any hair. But as the weeks went on, something miraculous happened—Kurtis’s fur started to grow, and he blossomed into a beautiful, fluffy Pomeranian with soft, luxurious hair.
Peggy says Kurtis is the sweetest, most loving cuddle bug. He adores her just as much as she adores him, and their bond is undeniable. Kurtis is now a happy, healthy Pomeranian who enjoys cuddles, playtime with his green sock monkey, and plenty of love from his mom.
Meet Bambi: The Little Mama Hen
Bambi’s story is just as special as Kurtis’s. Peggy rescued Bambi from a situation where she was one of many Pomeranians in need of a loving home. At the time, Peggy was helping a Pomeranian breeder who had over 40 adult Poms and countless puppies. The breeder would only sell one puppy from each litter, and many of the Poms lacked socialization and human interaction.
When the breeder fell ill and could no longer care for all the dogs, many of the Pomeranians were given to friends and family. That’s when Peggy had the chance to adopt Bambi, a shy little Pomeranian puppy in need of love, attention, and proper care. Peggy knew she could give Bambi the home she deserved, and she welcomed her with open arms.
Bambi’s New Life
At first, Bambi was a bit shy and unsure of her new surroundings. But it didn’t take long for her to warm up to Peggy and the other animals in the household. Now, Bambi has taken on the role of the “Mama Hen,” showering everyone in her little pack with love and kisses every day. Peggy says that Bambi is just so happy to be loved and cared for, and giving out kisses is her way of showing her gratitude.
Bambi and Kurtis have formed a strong bond, and they love spending time together—whether they’re cuddling, playing with their green sock monkey, or just hanging out with their mom.
The Importance of Rescue
Stories like Bambi and Kurtis’s remind us of the importance of animal rescue and the difference it can make in the lives of these sweet dogs. Both Pomeranians came from difficult situations, but thanks to Peggy’s love and care, they now have a forever home where they are cherished and adored.
If you’re inspired by their story and are thinking about rescuing a Pomeranian or any other small breed, consider opening your heart to a rescue dog (preferably a Pomeranian). There are so many dogs out there, like Bambi and Kurtis, who are waiting for a loving home and a second chance at happiness.
