Polo is a 2 year old, 60 pound shepherd/retriever mix with a big heart, a bright mind, and an irresistible zest for life. If you’re looking for a dog who brings joy, energy, and affection into every room he enters, this sweet boy might be the perfect match. 💛 Why Everyone Falls for Polo • Affectionate and fun loving — he adores belly rubs, outdoor time, and being with his people • Smart and eager to learn — already working on fetch, “come,” and “off” • Housebroken and walks well on a leash • Big Dog friendly and respectful of cats (he’s actually a little scared of them and gives them space) - smaller dogs he's too rough with. He likes to run and wrestle • Gentle with kids — he was calm and sweet when meeting a 6 year old • Knows “sit” and “lie down” • Loyal companion — he likes to follow his foster family from room to room and be part of the action Polo does have a few puppy like quirks: he jumps when excited, can be mouthy for attention - he needs consistent training on those. Understanding he can't grab your hand (like he's a kid pulling you to play) 🏡 Polo’s Ideal Home Polo would thrive with: • A fenced yard to run and play • An experienced dog owner who can continue his training • Bigger kids only because of the mouthiness and jumping • Another big dog is a bonus but not required • Someone home as he does not like to be alone and hates to be crated (remember he came from AL running free outside all day) Polo is currently fostered in Tampa. Please DM us if you're interested and make sure you have an app filled out. Adoption fee is $300 and he is neutered and fully vaccinated.
