Story
Polly Bio: Adopt Polly! She is a 12-year-old Maltese mix who’s ready to spend her golden years by your side! This sweet senior girl has a low energy level and loves to spend most of her day napping, but don’t be fooled, when it’s time for a walk, she lights right up and prances out the door with the biggest smile. She’s fully house-trained and knows how to sit, and she’s the definition of an easygoing, happy companion. Polly is incredibly friendly with everyone she meets, familiar faces, strangers, kids, and other dogs alike. She greets every person and pup with a wagging tail and a kind, gentle demeanor. She is truly just a happy girl who enjoys life and people 🥹 Polly is also bonded with her best friend Bella, a 7-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix. Bella’s calm and loving nature perfectly complements Polly’s cheerful spirit, they love going on walks together, curling up for naps, and simply being near their people. Wherever one goes, the other happily follows. While Polly loves to be with her people, she’s learned to feel comfortable and secure when left alone. She’ll happily curl up to nap until her person returns. When she hears the leash jingle, though, she can’t contain her excitement, walks are truly the highlight of her day. Polly and Bella would thrive in a calm home, ideally with someone retired or working from home, where they can enjoy the company they love so much. They’re a devoted duo who have so much love to give and are looking for a forever home where they can stay together. If you’re ready to open your heart to two affectionate, loyal companions, Polly and Bella will fill your days with warmth, laughter, and love.
