A Pomeraniean Male named Jappy

Jappy is presently Adopted

Jappy is on his way to Toronto (along with Camellia) where we hope it will not take long before he is in a loving, forever home.  This little Pom with the mega personality has been with Animatch since August 2011 and since that time very few people have shown any interest in adopting him.  Jappy was a regular on the Meet & Greet circuit, has spent several weeks at Auberge Zen where he made incredible progress, and he is amazing with other dogs – big and small, old and young.  Apparently, Toronto has a much easier time placing small dogs so Animatch felt that it was the right thing to do ... to let him have his chance at finding a family who will care for him for the rest of his life.  We will miss this spunky, outgoing, fellow and hope to hear when he had been adopted.

Many thanks to Sandie, Alain, and Virginie at Auberge Zen for all the work they did with Jappy.

Jappy here and I’m just checking in from Auberge Zen in beautiful downtown Laval.  Since I’m such a little spark plug and a quick learner, I was deemed a great candidate for training.  I’m not sure that I have everyone trained yet but I sure am working on it.  Alain and Virginie, the people supervising the training, say that I show promise.  I have a lot of energy and keeping my mind occupied is just as important as exercising my body.  So, that’s it for now folks.  Will write soon ... gotta go, another class!  Don’t forget I still so-oooo need a home so please don’t forget me, apply to adopt me!


Jappy is a Pomeranian, approximately 4 years old, who came to Animatch via the pound—another unclaimed treasure!  True to his name, he loves to hear himself talk, so apartment condo living would not be for him.  Despite his small stature, Jappy is very active and will need plenty of exercise.  Keeping him busy with walks, runs, games, and toys will be good for his body and his mind.  Dogs who bark for attention are often bored.  Although he tips the scale at 8 lbs., he would still make a great walking or hiking partner.  Jappy will need frequent brushing to keep his coat free of matts.  Since we have no history on him, an adult home or one where children are older would be ideal.  If you are looking for a little guy with a big personality, Jappy might just be the dog for you.  Please fill in the Adoption Form if you would like to adopt Jappy.

    Are you kidding me?  He has a big grin on his face…at least he’s smart enough to live each moment as it comes and now he is safe and secure under Animatch’s protective wing. But, honestly, he needs a new name…like Stanley!  LOL ok, I’ll shut up now…getting late, time for bed…

    I met Jappy at the Animatch Ask the Experts event on Wenesday and what a sweet boy.  Unlike his name, he was very un-Jappy, quiet, happy and well-behaved, coming over over a scritch under his chin.

    Well heck, M.I.A. .....unless something REAL BAD happened, when I say I am going to be there I AM…. I would let Animatch know and if I wasn’t able to - someone in my family would contact Animatch ! One has to wonder about committment? surely being Oct 17th you’d think they would have showed signs of life ????

    Yes, unfortunately Jappy is back.  He was peeing and pooping in the house; not sure what that was all about.  Just not the right match.  We’ll get it right next time!

    Must of been either over excited or too nerveous…. I started Camy & Kody on wee wee pads their aim wasn’t perfect mind you but once they got the hang of that, we just kept moving it closer to the door.  Until they knew where it was to stay… once that hurdle over with, it was outside and lots and lots of praise AND TREATS…... Got our little man trained in not 2 weeks… Camy a bit longer because she wasn’t a little piglet who justs loves to eat.. like Joanne said ” we’ll get it right next time!”

    Jappy’s new photos are gorgeous - what a happy little grin!  Jappy is clean at Animatch but sometimes changes in routine throw a dog off being clean in the house.  Belle was like that at first, but we are finally getting used to her quiet ways of letting us know when she needs to go out, and voila!!!  Perfect dog!  Perfect, happy little loving squirt that I wouldn’t exchange with any other even if she pooped in my house the rest of her life. (knock on wood!  LOL)

    I am surprised to see that Jappy is still here after many months… I have “worked” with him at Animatch Meet and Greet’s on more than one occasion, and he is simply an adorable, loving dog. Such a sweetheart. As for the barking, he didn’t make a sound during the couple of events that I worked at. Besides, there are many ways to reduce problematic barking in a dog, and I’m sure his future “pack leader” could get many tips from the great Animatch volunteers to help Jappy with this… Hope you find your right match soon buddy, you definitely deserve a good home… smile

    You are right Fanny .. I have also met him at a couple of meet and greet .. A very good dog very playful and did not bark ..He has been at the shelter so long.. But still of lots of love and care from the volunteers .. He is a good lap dog .. And very sweet .. lots of kisses ... So good luck Jappy ..By Valentine day We all want to see reserved and on trial by your name .. Take care and I pray for you to have a loving home very soon xoxoxo
    FYI your name does not suite you Because you are not (Yappy) dog ..

    Jappy…I got to see you today. You are a real little cutie! I live with a YAPPY one myself….(barks, whimpers, whines and howls at everything that passes in front of the house, and I live on a very busy street) and actually, she has now succeeded in getting the BIG DOG to join in. We call it “the concert”~and yes, while we USED to think it was so cute…we now get quite annoyed at the intensity of it all! Luckily, we can get Millie to stop pretty much on command~All that to say….if neighbours are not an issue…YAPPINESS is surely something that can be “worked” on! Good luck, Jappy! It’s time you move on sweetheart! xxoo

    OMG!! You should have seen this guy at the second sitting of the Bark N Brunch…his name should be changed to “Mellow Belly”, because he was so zen and relaxed, 4 paws in the air only moving to guide you to the right spot to massage!!  He is a delightful boy and even some of the guests mentioned that their own hyper or anxious dogs were more mellow around Jappy. He will make a great family dog.  grin

    That’s very funny (or maybe cynical?) : “in beautiful downtown Laval”!!! Auberge Zen is a very good place for dogs, but situated in the industrial zone, not so beautiful…  And I don’t know if something like downtown Laval does really exist! Well, that must be my weirdo point of view! good luck Jappy and have fun with the doggies. You can even meet my Lucky sometimes. He loves to play.

    I’m sorry it didn’t work out here for Jappy the beautiful Pom.  He a darling boy, but was said to be unsuitable for apartment living, too vocal, so not a candidate for me, for instance, and probably for a lot of others.  I hope he finds a nice home in TO, though I’m not sure it’s because he’s a small dog that he didn’t find one here.  ‘bye Jappy, I’ll miss your pretty face!

    No, Jappy not finding a home had nothing to do with him being small.  The barking was definitely an issue because it immediately eliminates people in apartments/condos.  Many people who are looking for small dogs are looking for non-shedders ... and Poms do shed quite a bit.  That too may have contributed a little (but not even sure).  In any case, our fingers are crossed that Jappy will be in his furever home, very soon.

I wish you better success there and a happy life with people knowing how to take care of your wonderful fur, people used to care for colleys or shelties, or those funny long haired creatures, white and grey very big english dogs.

    Must have been a difficult decision for Helen and Joanne to
    send these dogs to TTO,but as always they have dog’s best future happiness as their goal.
    By the way Old English do not shed or bark very often
    or mine did not,he only barked once big deep bark and
    no-one on my apt floor would open doors as
    unwanted stranger approaching. Now I have house very
    pleased to have small bark alarm dogs give a great sense
    of safely for me at dark too busy sleeping to patrol.
