After selecting the puppy that you want to adopt, prepare your house for the new member of your family. Hide all the objects that may hurt your pup. Pomskies are curious and they can destroy various objects in the house, especially breakable objects, rugs, chemicals and plants.

Leave your pup enough space to exercise and limit his access to certain areas of the house. Use baby gates or find other methods to limit his access throughout the house.

Arrange a comfortable place to sleep for your puppy, an appropriate bowl for food, as well as several toys. Also, look for a leash or a collar and ask your vet about how to use them effectively.

If you follow the steps from the above, all you must do is to enjoy the time spent with your amazing little pup. The Pomsky is a delightful companion that makes you smile every time you are around him.
