About Pola

Meet Pola, an exceptional German Shepherd with a heart as beautiful as his spirit. Born on July 26, 2021, in Azerbaijan, he faced immense challenges as a stray, yet he emerged gentle, trusting, and full of love. Now, Pola is on the lookout for the forever family he truly deserves. Despite being blind, Pola is highly intelligent and adapts remarkably well to his surroundings. Once he familiarizes himself with a space, he navigates it confidently. The shelter staff describe him as calm, curious, playful, and exceptionally kind. Pola isn't just looking for a home; he longs for a family to share his love with. He gets along well with other dogs but may thrive best in a home where he can be the only dog or have one canine companion to shower him with affection. Pola has been tested with cats, children, and food aggression and has done wonderfully in all evaluations. However, due to his blindness, a home with older, respectful children would suit him best. At 4.5 years old, Pola is vaccinated, microchipped, and prepared to start a new chapter. His adoption fee is $400, which partially covers his international transport costs. If you're considering opening your heart to a special-needs companion, Pola may be the lifelong friend you've been waiting for. He asks only for love, patience, and a safe place to belong. In return, you'll discover a loyal friend whose gratitude knows no bounds. Click apply to start the adoption process.
