Petting Polly is like kneading bread dough - but the good kind, the kind that never sticks to your hands and always rises into something wonderful. At seven months old, this healthy Cane Corso–Golden Retriever mix is equal parts squish, sunshine, and sudden bursts of spirited silliness. One moment she’s melting into you like warm dough, and the next she’s bouncing, zooming, or doing a goofy little hop because her joy can’t be contained. She loves with her whole heart - and frankly, her whole body. Subtlety is not her spiritual gift. If Polly loves you, you know it. If she loves another dog, that dog knows it, too. She doesn’t flirt -- she fully commits. No coy glances, no “maybe I’m interested.” She launches straight into enthusiastic friendship. Other dogs in the home will need to be playful, tolerant, and ready to receive the full force of her affectionate enthusiasm. In her previous home, Polly was already housetrained, non-destructive, and learning her manners. She adored the kids, followed them everywhere, and tried her best to keep up with their games. She’s smart, sweet, curious, and making sense of the world one sniff, one tail wag, one goofy burst of puppy glee at a time. And when she finally winds down, she returns to her favorite ritual: burrowing under blankets and sinking into a snuggle until she drifts off with that soft, contented sigh that says she finally feels safe again. Polly will likely grow into an 80-pound companion, and she’ll need someone kind and patient to help her figure out how to live in that big-dog body. If you’re looking for an affectionate, jiggly love bug with equal skill for snuggling and zooming - come meet Polly. Animal Aid Society is located at 80 Butler Farm Road in Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are 9 a.m. to noon, including weekends and holidays. Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!
PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.
