About Polly

Polly is a sweet little Shih Tzu mix who’s well on her way to becoming the adorable companion she was always meant to be. She arrived at Saving Grace somewhat worse for wear but has been receiving the love and care she needs from her foster. With each passing day, Polly’s transformation is evident; her coat is improving, and her gentle personality shines through. This lovely lady cherishes a laid-back lifestyle. At around four years old, she prefers savoring her surroundings rather than rushing around. Polly is happy to take leisurely strolls and enjoys her time outdoors at her own pace. She’s fantastic in her crate, sleeps soundly through the night, and seems to be potty trained when taken outside consistently. Polly does well with both dogs and cats, making her a great addition to various households. Although she hasn’t had much leash training yet, her loving foster has mostly carried her around. When it comes to mealtime, this girl doesn’t hold back; she’s quite vocal about when she’s ready for dinner. With more time and care, Polly will continue to blossom into that perfect companion. This sweet girl is ready to find a forever home where she can feel safe and loved. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
