Polly Pocket

Polly Pocket is thee cutest 1.5 year old mini Staffy/Bulldog, weighing in at 35lbs.

She was DNA tested by Embark, and her mixture is Staffordshire Terrier and Bulldog! She came into the shelter as a stray, with no chip or collar and no one ever came for her.

She was getting overlooked and started to develop a URI which put her on the euthanasia list.

One of our long time fosters spotted Polly while at the shelter and said she was the cutest, most quiet dog, wagging her tail.

She knew she couldn’t leave Polly behind! That same foster who rescued her has been her long time foster mom.

This is her loving description of Polly: Polly is the most charming girl with the best personality and so much love to give.

She is obsessed with all humans she meets; she gets so excited and jumps and wiggles when she sees you.

She gives endless kisses and cuddles.

Sweet Polly needed a lot of work after coming of the shelter and hadn’t ever walked on a leash.

She has the deepest eagerness to learn and please her humans.

Polly is now completely potty trained, leash trained, crate trained (though she prefers to sleep with her humans in bed) and knows her basic commands.

It was also very clear Polly had lived on the streets for sometime as she was always trying to dig into the trash and was/is very scared of most dogs, especially big energy dogs.

She thankfully fell in love with her foster brother Freddie (who recently and very suddenly passed away and she really misses him very much).

This girl will do okay with a bigger, very calm and tolerant dog like him, otherwise, she should be an only pup in the home, with all the love from her human/humans.

She is it very quick, athletic and energetic dog — jokingly nicknamed “parkour pup” or a circus dog has she spins and twirls as she jumps off walls and corners of furniture while running around.

She can even climb trees! She could easily have a career in agility and will do great in a home with a backyard to run off that energy.

Lastly, she is an excellent alert dog to suspicious characters but otherwise doesn’t bark much.

She loves chewing on her toys and makes the most hilarious little monster-like sounds when playing with them.

As much as she loves playing, she also loves to cuddle and nap with her humans.

This girl loves nothing more than sitting in front of a space heater on a cold night and getting as hot as possible while nodding off sitting up.

She has met cats and is indifferent to them.

She cannot contain herself when she sees children and wants to greet and lick them but because of her very high energy, jumpy nature, we don’t think she should be with any kids younger than 12.

We are requiring someone who has lots of time and love to give her and will create a wonderful, consistent structure and maintain her training in her new home.
