About Polly

Meet Polly, a sweet young pup ready for a fresh start. She came to us as a stray with her sibling, Popcicle, along with their mom, Molly. Initially, Polly faced some challenges; she was underweight and covered in ticks, but now she’s well on her way to a healthier life. Polly is shy, still getting used to how welcoming the world can be, but her gentle nature shines through. She would thrive best in a home with a confident dog who can help her navigate new experiences and boost her confidence. With a little patience and kindness, Polly is set to grow into a devoted companion. This girl is eager to find her forever home where she can receive the love she deserves. Ready to meet Polly?
