My story

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

Take a peek at sweet Miss Polka – her polka dots are sure to win your heart!

Polka is an absolute dream of a doggy companion. She has a delightfully peaceful personality and enjoys making new friends. She adores socializing with her favorite people, playing with toys and getting tasty treats. Once you spend some quality time with Polka, it doesn’t take her long to show off her full-body wiggles and try and squeeze into your lap! 

Polka prefers the quiet things in life! The sights and sounds of the city can be a little overwhelming for this sensitive girl, but she is building her confidence with the help of treats and praise as rewards. Polka also likes being around other dogs, but she prefers those with similarly calm energy.

  • Polka would probably be a good fit for most families.
  • Polka does well with other dogs and should meet other dogs one-on-one first. Our staff would love to help make introductions!
  • An Admissions and Placement Specialist can give you tips to help set Polka up for housetraining success.

Miss Polka Dot is a wonderful pup with lots of love to give! Does this spotted beauty sound paw-fect for your home? Click the “Adopt Me” button to submit an application and learn more about her here - https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/b10d9d62-b2bd-424b-9879-7bb61f730220

 

*The ASPCA Adoption Center encourages a $150 suggested adoption fee when adopting an animal. This suggested adoption fee allows the ASPCA to continue our lifesaving work and help even more animals in need. We are grateful for any and all amounts given at the time of adoption.*

**The ASPCA is committed to prioritizing the health and safety of the community, the animals in our care and our staff, and we are keeping a close eye on developments related to the COVID-19 crisis as they evolve. As such, the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City is currently closed for in-person visitors. However, we are excited to offer remote adoptions using video conferencing! In-person meet-and-greets are also sometimes available or required for specific animals. Please check out our available cats and dogs above, and if one catches your eye, apply directly for him or her. An ASPCA Matchmaker will let you know if the animal you are interested in adopting is eligible for or requires an in-person meet-and-greet.

Please note: Adoption applications are handled in the order they are received and submitting an adoption survey does not constitute a hold or guaranteed adoption. You can expect to receive automated emails updating you on your adoption status as our Matchmakers go through applications. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you find your match!**

More about this shelter

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. Our organization was founded by Henry Bergh in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law. Headquartered in New York City, the ASPCA maintains a strong local presence, and with programs that extend our anti-cruelty mission across the country, we are recognized as a national animal welfare organization. We are a privately funded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and proud to boast more than 1 million supporters across the country.
