Polly is a sweet, funny, playful girl looking for her forever family. Polly spent the first part of her life as a commercial breeder and is starting to learn how to be a dog. She loves when you get down on her level and play and scratch her and she will repay this with lots of kisses. Polly is very timid and takes a bit to warm up to new people, however, once she trusts you, you are in! She is scared of loud noises and sometimes even her shadow scares her. She has done great with her foster siblings and loves to snuggle with other female dogs and play with toys. She will curl up with you on the couch, but she does require you to pick her up and hold her until she calms - with time, she is sure to hop right up with her family and snuggle in. She loves to go outside and would be totally content to spend an afternoon sleeping in a shady spot or playing in the sun in a fenced back yard. She is new to walking on a leash, but does well for short jaunts around the neighborhood. Polly is a wonderful little girl who is looking for a family who is patient with her and will take it all very slowly. Her smiles when her family sees her first thing in the morning or after returning home are absolutely priceless. With lots of love and patience you will have your best and loyal friend with sweet Polly. |

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
