Mr. PollyPocket

When our weekend kennel attendant walked in and saw our newest intake, with his luscious locks, pretty face, and petite collie body, she immediately decided he had to be named PollyPocket, after the tiny 1989 dolls. It wasn't until later that she realized PollyPocket wasn't a girl! Now, Mr. PollyPocket is embracing his name, and we're pretty sure it's going to help him stand out to the perfect adopter.

Mr. PollyPocket is a 6-month-old, 34-pound Border Collie/Flat-coated Retriever mix. We know his mother is a red doodle, which likely explains the beautiful burnt-orange coloring on his ears. We're still getting to know this darling boy, but one thing is already certain: he has our veterinary technician's seal of approval... and that's a pretty big deal around here.

So far, Mr. PollyPocket appears to be housetrained and has done well greeting other dogs through the play yard fences. Even while adjusting to shelter life, he hasn't met a stranger. If his future family has a cat (or several!), we'll be happy to complete a cat test before he heads home.

If you've been searching for a dog with the look of a larger herding breed packed into a fun-sized body, plus a friendly personality and a quirky story to match, Mr. PollyPocket might just be your perfect fit.

Please note: Mr. PollyPocket cannot go home until after July 17th, when he is scheduled to be neutered. Applications submitted before then are encouraged so you can be pre-approved and ready to take him home that day!
