Hi Friends! My name is Polly and I am a sweet & adorable gal looking for her forever home. I am 10 years old and so excited to finally be a part of a family who will love and adore me just as much as I will love and adore them!
My foster family has been taking care of me while I wait for my forever home, and here are some things they have to say about me: I cannot hear, but can pick up on cues – like when my leash is being put on, I know it is time for a walk. Speaking of walks, I don’t require long walks, but do like a lot of attention! I am house-trained, crate-trained, and do well on walks! Occasionally, I may have accidents in the home, especially if I have not gone to the bathroom in a few hours, so it is best for me to wear a diaper to be cautious! Some of my favorite things are soft treats and human attention.
Ideal Home
I would do best in a home with a family that is around for most/all of the day, and with a yard where I can happily roam. I have not been around children yet, or other smaller animals like cats, but do not get along well with small dogs. If introduced very slowly, I have previously gotten along with other dogs that are calm. At my foster family’s home, I have a foster sibling and get a bit jealous over human affection.
Ongoing Health
I have some mobility issues and arthritis in my knees, hips, and spine, so I take medication daily. Occasionally, I will wake up in my sleep (perhaps from a bad dream) and howl/cry for about 20 seconds and stop soon after.
Training & Support
Resource guarding is a behavior trait of mine, so you will need to be aware of this, especially around other dogs!
