My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Polly – a special girl with a heart full of joy

Boxer Mix | 60 lbs | 1.5 Years Old | Female

Looking for a fun-loving, goofy, and affectionate addition to your family? Look no further — Polly is your girl!

Polly is a 60-pound, nearly 2-year-old boxer mix with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. She's a sweet, playful, and delightfully rambunctious pup who’s always ready to bring joy and laughter into your life. Polly’s zest for life is downright contagious.

Born with an extra toe that gives her a unique gait, Polly may move a little differently, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit. Her condition is easily managed with lifelong joint supplements, prescription food, regular nail trims, and some supportive toe grips or leg braces to keep her comfy and mobile. She’ll also need access to soft surfaces like grass, so a home with a fenced yard is a must for her continued comfort and safety. Because of her special needs please be aware Polly is a lifelong companion that will require a loving and dedicated owner that doesn’t mind continued monitoring and support for her condition.

Polly is:

Super dog friendly
Crate trained
Potty trained
Non-destructive in the home
Bursting with love and happiness

She would be an excellent family dog, especially for families with kids over 13 (just due to her size and boxer play style). Polly would likely be best in a home without cats - her enthusiasm for play is too strong for them.

If you're ready to meet a dog who’s equal parts silly, snuggly, and special, Polly is waiting to steal your heart. She’s not just a pet — she’s a loyal companion, a happy-go-lucky spirit, and the perfect addition to the right forever home.

Additional adoption info

What is your adoption process?

After our dogs are listed for adoption on Facebook and our website, you can apply online for the dog you are interested in meeting.

*Buffalo Underdogs Rescue does not operate on a “first come, first served” basis.

Our primary concern is that the dogs in our care go to the home that is best suited for them.* The foster parent of the dog will view all of the applications that are submitted for their foster dog. They will select the applicants that seem to be the best fit and call their personal and vet references. If your application appears to be the best fit for their foster dog, they will then contact you to set up a meet and greet at your house. They will also discuss the adoption requirements during this initial call.

*Note: All members of the family must be present at the meet and greet.*

If all goes well at the meet and greet, and the foster and family feel that this is the best fit, arrangements will be made to complete the adoption. In order to adopt, you must have an appropriately sized collar (or harness, if required), leash and a dog tag with your telephone number.

What happens at a meet and greet?

For every dog/puppy, we require a meet and greet in your home, with all members of the family, including cats and dogs, present. If you have any dogs, the foster will ask you to bring your leashed dog(s) outside to the edge of your property to meet on “neutral territory”. You will take a quick walk (in the neutral territory), so that the dogs are aware of each other’s presence. After the walk, you can let them sniff each other, and if all goes well, even let them play together if you have a fenced yard (leaving the leashes on). After a short while, if they are still interacting positively, then the foster will take the new dog into your home to see how your dog tolerates the new dog indoors. Sometimes, these relationships take time to build and dogs need time to find their place in the pack. If you or the foster are unsure whether this dog will be a good fit, a second meet and greet can be arranged. This is at the discretion of the foster, as they know their dog’s personality best. If this particular dog isn't a good fit for some reason, that doesn’t mean you cannot adopt a different Underdog!

What is required in order to adopt a dog/puppy from you?

Our fosters will not leave their foster dog in the new adoptive home until the new owners have a leash, collar/harness that fits and dog tag for the new dog with the new owner contact information.

More about this rescue

Who we are....
Buffalo Underdogs Rescue is an all-breed, volunteer-driven nonprofit organization. BUR saves dogs in Western New York as well as from a rural kill shelter in Eastern Texas. We pull dogs from shelters and transport them to their awaiting foster homes, in the Buffalo area. We provide a safe home environment for our dogs while they receive necessary vetting, begin the process of training and socialization and prepare them to become members of a loving family.

We believe with your help, these underdogs can become top dogs!
