Story
Meet Polly; she’s from Bali! (Well, maybe. She’s from somewhere in Indonesia!) Polly was rescued from an Indonesian meat market and as you can see, she’s been settling in well to her new life in the USA.
Polly is a loveable, curious, and independent girl who loves walks, running around her yard, and playing with other dogs and toys. She is a fan of puzzle toys, tug-of-war, and watching the world go by from her porch! 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 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 “talk” from time to time!
Polly is affectionate with her foster family and greets them lovingly when they get home. She likes being near her humans, but she prefers to sit next to them on the couch or at the foot of the bed rather than cuddle directly in their laps. Polly gets along well with her canine housemates, although sometimes her bouncy nature annoys smaller, older or non-playful dogs. She would be happy with another playful dog to romp around with. Polly is cautious and reserved around people and dogs she does not know, and she takes a little while to warm up, but once she knows you, she is very sweet and loves to hang out with you. Polly gets scared in places crowded with lots of people, children, and dogs, so she is not the best dog for accompanying you to places like parties, farmer’s markets, or breweries. However, she enjoys quieter, more peaceful outings, like walks in her neighborhood and hikes. Polly has made great strides settling into family life and working on training, and she would thrive with a patient, loving family that doesn’t force or rush her into situations she’s uncomfortable in.
If you want a friend to keep you company and explore the world with, come meet Polly!
