My personality

My story

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

Hi, I’m Polly, a 4 yr old, 34 lb BEAUTIFUL English Cocker! I’m a happy, wiggly girl who’s had quite a journey, but I’m loving life in my foster home. I came into rescue after my previous owner could no longer care for me. I’m deaf and have a cute little head tilt from a couple of snake bites in my past, but none of that slows me down—I’m too busy enjoying every moment.

Here’s what I love most:
I really enjoy chewing on bones, sprinting around with toys (and okay… sometimes destroying them), and playing with my foster brother. I’m also a world-class snuggler and love giving kisses. I don’t bark much—only when I’m super excited about food or when I’m left alone and worried. I have a bit of separation anxiety, but I do great in my kennel when my people leave the house.

I’m a smart cookie!
I know how to lay down and how to “place,” and I listen with my eyes and body since I can’t hear. I wear a special vibrating collar that helps get my attention on walks, but honestly, I’m already great on a leash and I love going for walks. I have been going through personalized training with my foster mom and I’ve picked it all up quickly. Outside, I like to stay close to my people—being near them makes me feel safe and happy.

A few quirks to know:
I do get a little protective of my food or toys around other animals—I might give a growl if they get too close but I won't snap at them. I’ve never shown this behavior toward humans, and I’m easily redirected.

Overall, I’m a sweet, joyful girl who loves life, loves people, and gets along with everyone, other dogs and cats included. I’m just looking for a family who will love me back, keep helping me feel secure, and let me be the silly, snuggly, wonderful dog I am.

I am up to date on my vaccinations, Heartworm tested and on monthly flea and Heartworm protection, microchipped and spayed. Adoption fee is $400.

**Please apply to adopt at www.saveourcockerspaniels.org**
SOCKS adopts to families in Florida, Georgia, Southern Alabama, and southeastern Mississippi. If you are out of the state of Florida, you would need to travel to Florida to complete your adoption. Please note that we do check vet references, and your current pets must be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing, and be able to provide proof of purchase of heartworm prevention. All dogs and cats in your home must be spayed or neutered. We will not set up a meet and greet until your application has been received, reviewed, and approved.  Adoptions are not done on a first come, first served basis. We will accept applications and then screen all and choose the best match. Only approved applicants will be contacted.
