About Polo

Meet Polo, a delightful 7-year-old flat-coated retriever mix looking for his forever home in Columbia, SC. This lovable boy originally came from a local shelter two years ago and is now seeking a new start due to his family's lifestyle being a bit too overwhelming for him. Polo tends to have some submissive peeing, especially during new encounters, but with the right environment, he can flourish. Polo is known for his affectionate nature and his love for attention. He enjoys being outdoors, exploring, and playing fetch. He does have his energetic moments but generally remains calm. Great news for families: Polo is wonderful with both other dogs and children! He’s house trained, crate trained, and leash trained, knowing basic commands. This gentle soul would ideally thrive in a quieter home with access to a yard, allowing him the space to roam and feel at ease. He deserves a loving family that can help him through his anxieties and give him the life he truly deserves. Could you be the one to provide that loving home?
