A little about them

Polly is a sweet, happy, playful Pit mix whose love language is toys. She loves chewing, carrying, throwing, and playing with them—alone, with people, or with dog friends. This affectionate homebody is also self-sufficient and content to relax while you work.

Polly has had a difficult past and is still building confidence. She can take time to warm up to strangers, prefers a small social circle, and feels safest at home with access to a fenced yard. She would do well with other dogs or as a solo dog. Small children are not ideal because grabby behavior and busy social circles may overwhelm her.

Ideal Home

  • A fenced yard is required to help Polly feel secure.
  • Polly would enjoy a home with plenty of toys and people who appreciate her playful personality.
  • She can live with other dogs or as the only dog.
  • She prefers a quieter home and needs time to warm up to new people.
  • Garbage trucks are particularly unsettling for her, though other vehicles do not bother her.

Ongoing Health

  • Vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative.

Training & Support

  • Fully house trained, crate trained, and non-destructive.
  • Knows sit, stay, and paw, and quickly learns routines.
  • Polly enjoys toys, power tools, vacuums, and leaf blowers as though they are toys, so she should be supervised around equipment for safety.
  • She is comfortable pottying in rain, snow, thunderstorms, and darkness.

Application Details

  • To meet Polly, start your application by contacting her provider through Wags.
