About Polly

Meet Polly, a delightful 38lb Cattle Dog Retriever mix who embodies the spirit of a puppy with the sweetest personality. She's spayed, vaccinated, and up-to-date on all preventatives, making her ready to leap into her forever home. Polly has a gentle, go-with-the-flow nature and truly enjoys being a part of whatever her people are doing.

Polly is a forever puppy at heart! She absolutely adores toys, loves playing with other dogs, and has a bouncy, happy energy when it's time for fun. If another dog wants to play, Polly is always game to join in. She's also been around children aged 6 and up and has done well with them. We don't have any history of her with cats.

While Polly enjoys playtime, she's actually a pretty low-energy girl overall. She's just as happy to relax and cuddle as she is to toss around a toy. She’s affectionate, snuggly, and loves being close to her people. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly once she realizes she's safe.

Polly has excellent house manners; she's fully house-trained and crate-trained for up to six hours. She travels well in the car and has no issues with resource guarding or food aggression. She's currently working on her leash manners and may pull sometimes, but since she's on the smaller side, she's easy to manage while she continues learning.

Like many young dogs, Polly is still figuring out some of the rules of home life and will need a patient adopter who is willing to keep guiding her. Because she can sometimes get into things if left unsupervised, she should be crated when she's alone. With consistency and routine, she’ll continue to blossom.

Overall, Polly is a truly lovely dog who will thrive in just about any home. Whether it’s a family, a couple, or someone looking for a loyal companion, Polly has so much love to give. With a little time to settle into a new routine, she’ll make a wonderful and devoted best friend.
