Story
Meet Polly; she’s from Bali! (Well, maybe. She’s from somewhere in Indonesia!) Polly was rescued from an Indonesian meat market and has been settling in well to her new life in the USA. Polly is a sweet, curious, and independent girl who loves walks, hikes and playing with toys. She is a fan of puzzle toys, tug-of-war, and we’re working on learning fetch! Polly is mellow overall, but she still gets the zoomies sometimes and needs a chance to burn off some energy each day. She would be a great companion for someone who is active or at least likes walking and playing engaging games with her, but she also spends a good portion of the day snoozing and quietly entertaining herself. Polly has a goofy side, too, and will jump around and “sing” from time to time! Polly is reserved around people and dogs she does not know and takes a little while to warm up, but once she knows you, she is very sweet and loves to hang out with you and follow you around the house. She’s not the best dog for accompanying you to places crowded with other people, children, and dogs, but her active and curious nature would make her a great companion for more peaceful outings. Polly isn’t exactly a cuddle queen (yet), but she likes to sit next to her humans on the couch or curl up at their feet on the floor. She has become more affectionate with her foster family with each passing day! Polly seems house trained. She gets along well most of the time with her canine housemates, but we recommend a meet-and-greet with any other potential household dogs. If you want a friend to keep you company and explore the world with, come meet Polly! My Profile Age and weight: I'm 1 year old and weigh 40 pounds. Good with kids: Unknown Good with dogs: Some dogs Good with cats: Unknown Fenced yard: Yes Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: I could live in a townhouse, but not an apartment House trained: Yes. Crate trained: Yes Barks when left alone: I’ll bark when you leave, but then I’ll settle down Chews inappropriate items: Occasionally Training: I'm looking forward to training class! Activity level: Medium I need an experienced adopter. Meet Me If you are interested in Polly, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application at pgspca.org. Please consult our Adoption FAQ before contacting us. Please check the adoption-show-attendees page to see if Polly will be attending the next adoption show. NOTE: We are an all volunteer group and do not operate a shelter. All of our animals are in foster homes. We are unable to place our animals outside of the Baltimore/DC area.

Story
Duke and Kannon are an inseparable pair of best friends who do everything together. Whether they’re snuggling up for a nap or enjoying a walk side by side, these two share an unbreakable bond. When Duke feels uncertain or scared, Kannon is right there to guide him and offer comfort. Kannon, ever the social butterfly, adores belly rubs and being the center of attention. Meanwhile, Duke prefers to stay a little more in the background, quietly observing and staying involved without feeling overwhelmed.This duo is searching for a calm, loving home where they can settle in and thrive. Their ideal family will offer the patience and understanding they need as they adjust to their new surroundings. Kannon is working towards reaching a healthy weight so he can get back to running and playing like he used to, while Duke would love a peaceful environment where he can gain confidence and trust, knowing that love always comes around for a second chance.Are you viewing my information on a third party site like Petfinder.com?
