Fill out an Adoption Application

Brief description:

Likes: Playful dog friends, treats, hanging out in her crate, playing outside

Dislikes: We haven’t found much she doesn’t like yet

Personality: Polly is a wiggly gal who loves to play and is a total snuggle bug. She has a doggy friend at her foster’s home and there isn’t a play they won’t play together. She is friendly toward all people, affectionate and not vocal. She rides well in the car and is crate trained. She seems to have natural herding skills.

Energy level: Middle energy with bouts of high energy (play)

Favorite activities: Playing with her doggy friend (for hours and hours), racing around the yard,
snuggling on the couch. She likes toys and treats and of course toys with treats (kongs).

Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?: Foster has 4 kids aged 4-11 and she is wonderful with all of them, in fact she hasn’t met a human she doesn’t like and seek affection from! She is fabulous with her foster doggy friend and would like to have a dog friend at her forever home (preferred, not required).

Not good with: (Cats? Dogs? Strangers? Men? Kids?) She is extremely curious about the cats in her foster home; cats are leery of her, strongly suggest a home without cats.

Housetrained: Mostly

Crate trained: Absolutely!

Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)?: If owner is active a fence is probably not required.

Walks well on a leash?:  Yes

Challenges:

Any Medical issues?: None known

What would be the best kind of home?: A wide variety of homes would be a good fit for Polly. She is an easy going gal who would ideally have a dog friend to play with. A family with kids or an active single person would be a fine place for Polly. No cats would be best.
