Story
A little different. A lot of love in Kalamazoo
Polaris is a stunning 8 month old Aussie pup with a story - and a heart - you won’t soon forget. Born as the result of double merle breeding, Polaris is deaf and has very limited vision. When he couldn’t be sold, he was dumped to fend for himself, along with his blind and deaf sister. But he’s since shown that he’s more than anyone expected - resilient, loving, and full of life.
Despite his challenges, Polaris is a happy, affectionate pup who’s never met a stranger. He finds comfort being close to his person, especially outside, and will thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard where he can safely explore by your side.
Fun Facts About Polaris
*Loves to play inside - especially fetch with his ball!
*Occasionally barks at things he can see, but a gentle touch and quick reassurance calms him right down.
* Needs the same love, training, and exercise as any Aussie pup - he just does it his way.
* Sweet, social, and ready to love big.
* He loves to swing with his person on a porch swing.
Polaris is looking for a furever home that understands that having special needs doesn’t mean less - just different.
He is looking for his best friend; someone to take him with them and keep him by their side.
Polaris is UTD on his vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and on HW and flea prevention. He currently weighs about 45#. He is housebroken; he has learned to go to the door when he needs to potty. (He will need some time, and patience, to figure out where the door is in his new home.) He is well on his way to being crate trained. He will need work with his leash skills, although he walks well beside his foster mom in the yard.

There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family. Polaris is currently located in Kalamazoo, MI.
