About Polly

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Meet Polly! This petite Bully girl with the most adorable ears and a zest for life has truly blossomed in her foster home. Despite a difficult start, Polly’s natural joy shines through. She adores her foster parents, her doggy pack, romping in the yard, playing with toys, and is undeniably a champion snuggler. Polly’s journey began in a rural shelter, where as a puppy she was rescued from an unsafe situation and held until she could be released. Coming into rescue, Polly was unfamiliar with many aspects of the outside world – but, with gentle guidance, she’s learned to conquer stairs, enjoy car rides, and thrive on neighborhood walks. Thanks to two devoted foster families, Polly has grown in confidence and happiness. She flourishes best with other dogs, gaining courage and comfort from canine companions, and would do wonderfully in a home with another playful, social pup. She’s affectionate, sweet, and loves nothing more than cuddling close for a hug or giving kisses. Toys and treats are her greatest joys; she is particularly skillful at entertaining herself and has a hilarious, athletic side when playing. Polly has shown she can be shy at first with new people, but patience and kindness help her warm up quickly. She’s now a pro on the leash—easy to walk, non-reactive, and able to enjoy adventures both solo and with her pack. Comfort in new places and around new people continues to improve as she has more positive experiences. Polly is crate trained, sleeping through the night and using her crate as a cozy retreat when needed. She knows basic commands, is house trained, and responds well to routines, although she’s sometimes distracted by her playful excitement. Gradual introductions and a patient family will help her continue to thrive. The ideal home for Polly is patient and stable, ideally in a quiet neighborhood with another well-adjusted dog to help her feel secure. She’s proven affectionate with adults and kids alike, and her loving personality will make you smile each day. Give Polly the chance she deserves and let her brighten your home.
