Story
Name: Pollie Poo Age: 1 year Gender: Female Breed: Jack Russell/ Collie Mix Weight: 36 lbs Dog Friendly: Yes Cat Friendly: Yes Child Friendly: Yes House Trained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Energy Level: Moderate Temperament: Sweet, affectionate, playful, gentle, people-loving Requirement: Not rental appropriate Adoption Fee: $400+tax To adopt, go to: www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family Pollie Poo is an absolute sweetheart! She loves playing with her foster brother and will happily romp around until they’re both worn out. She adores our kids (ages 10, 8, and 5) and follows them everywhere they go. She is calm, gentle, and respectful with our cats, carefully introducing herself and giving them space. Pollie enjoys walks and loves sniffing everything she can find. While she still has some puppy energy, once she settles down, she’s a world-class snuggler. Whether that’s on the couch or stretched out in a sunny spot on the floor. Pollie adjusted to Minnesota’s snow and cold in just half a day and now loves running and playing in the white stuff. She would do well as an only dog or with another canine companion, but her favorite thing is being around people. She is fully potty trained, sleeps in her kennel every night, and knows basic commands like sit and stay. She listens well, responds to direction, and takes correction gently. Pollie would be a wonderful addition to any home seeking extra love, loyalty, and companionship. About Me Hi! I’m Pollie Poo, and I’ve had quite the adventure. I came all the way from Alabama with some of my friends, and wow, it’s cold here! It took me a minute to figure out how to go potty on this white stuff, but once I did, I realized how fun it is to run around in it. I especially love my foster mom; she’s my favorite. I cuddle up to her at night because it makes me feel safe. My foster brother can be a little annoying (he steals all the toys!), but I share anyway. I love playing with the kids and following them around the house. The cat is still warming up to me, but I promise I’m very gentle and just want to be friends with everyone. When you pick up my leash, I get SO excited, even though my foster mom says we have to wait for warmer weather for longer walks. I’m learning about these strange things humans call stairs. I’m not totally sure about them yet, but I’m working on it! I’m treat-motivated but prefer to eat my meals on my own schedule. I sleep in my kennel all night without whining or accidents (apparently, this makes my foster mom very happy). I might bark at new people at first, but it doesn’t take long before I’m asking for belly rubs. I can’t wait to find my furever home where I can love as big and as hard as I love everyone I meet. If you think we might be a good match, I’d love to meet you, give you kisses, and show you just how sweet I am. February 1, 2026, 12:57 pm
