About Polly
Polly is a delightful 10-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix, tipping the scales at 9 pounds. She came back to the rescue after her beloved owner passed away unexpectedly. Prior to that, she spent five years in a loving home, and she shares a bond with another dog named Ariana, although they can be adopted separately. Polly has a sweet disposition but remains a bit hand shy, likely because of her previous life as a mill mama. She's playful and enjoys her time being groomed, although she'll need regular visits every 6-8 weeks. With a consistent schedule, Polly is getting better at potty training. She typically sleeps well in a kennel alongside Ariana but would likely prefer snuggling in bed with you if given the chance. While she’s not a fan of long car rides, she settles down comfortably in her kennel. Polly will greet you with an alert bark upon your return home but maintains a quiet demeanor otherwise. Currently in healthy condition, she had a successful dental visit in March. Polly is looking for a loving home, ideally with at least one other dog for companionship.
