About Polo

Meet Polo, a delightful 5.5 lbs of energy, kisses, and a complete lack of respect for personal space. This tiny Chihuahua mix is playful, comical, and devoted to his people. He has a knack for chasing small tennis balls and adores any toy you throw his way. He thrives on affection, loves being cuddled, and insists on being the center of attention. Polo lives harmoniously with children, cats, and dogs of all sizes. He might give chase to a running kitty, but it’s all in good fun; he currently shares his foster home with felines. An expert lap warmer and kisser, he wants nothing more than to be your shadow and your lifelong companion. As Polo prepares to leave his brother for the first time, he would benefit from the company of another friendly small dog to help build his confidence in a new home. If you’re seeking a 5.5-lb companion to follow you around everywhere, Polo is eager to apply for the role!
