About Polly

Polly is searching for her forever home! This charming Pekingese mix, around 12-13 years old and weighing 11 pounds, brings a special charm to every moment. Despite being blind, she has skillfully navigated the layout of our rescue and will follow your voice, wagging her tail happily. Polly enjoys the company of other dogs and loves being cuddled and held. Her fur is incredibly soft, making her a delightful companion. Polly is spayed and current on vaccinations. During her recent vet visit, she had a couple of small mammary masses removed, all of which were benign. Though she has a grade 2 heart murmur, her overall health is positive, and her blood work has come back good. A dental procedure is on the horizon, and Vintage Pet Rescue will cover the cost at the adopter's vet. If you're ready to offer Polly the loving family she deserves, please submit an application soon.
