About Polito
Meet Polito. This charismatic little guy is a 2-year-old male Wire-Haired Terrier mix who weighs around 9 lbs. Don't let his small stature fool you; Polito's personality is larger than life. He exudes confidence and charm, keeping things lively with his playful antics. Polito is known for forming strong bonds with his humans and thrives on companionship. While he might be a bit shy at first, he warms up quickly once he feels safe and comfortable. After a day filled with activity, you can find him happily curling up for some well-deserved snuggles. He gets along well with other dogs, especially smaller ones, and he’s also good with children. His compatibility with cats is untested, but he could adjust well with slow intros. Polito is alert and can bark when necessary, but he does not exhibit resource guarding behaviors. With his low-shedding, wire-haired coat, he is house-trained and crate-trained for travels. Polito has lived with other dogs but is eager for a person of his own, making an ideal companion for someone who is home often. A securely fenced yard would be beneficial, as Polito's fearless nature might not reflect his size. He deserves a loving environment where he can receive the attention and engagement he craves. Polito's journey began in a challenging situation in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he was rescued from a dog-hoarding case. His resilience and joyful spirit shine bright, as he patiently awaits a family that will appreciate his playful heart and give him the forever home he's been dreaming of. Polito is currently in Gig Harbor, WA, eagerly looking for a committed trial or foster-to-adopt home so he can travel to the Pacific Northwest. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
