The perfect companion!
Hi there! My name is Polly, and I’m a sweet, 6-year-old, 73-pound spayed Golden Retriever mix looking for my forever home!
Life has been a bit of an adventure for me—I spent my whole life living outside before coming here. But I’m learning to love indoor life, and guess what? I’m already fully potty-trained, as well as crate-trained. I’m also great on a leash and can easily be redirected when my curiosity gets the best of me.
I’m an easy-going, low-energy type of gal. At first, I can be a little shy, but once I get to know and trust you, I’m the sweetest girl ever. I have so much love to give and just want to be loved in return. In fact, I show love with my whole body and always have a big smile on my face throughout the day.
Some of my favorite things include treats, peanut butter, sunbathing, belly rubs, cuddles, going on short walks in the morning/evening, napping in my crate, and spending time with my favorite people. And I have a fun little quirk, too – carrying things around in my mouth! I am also extremely food-motivated. Treats are the way to my heart, so if you have a bag of goodies with you, I’m all yours!
As far as my health needs go, I have a few things to be aware of. First, I have osteoarthritis, and I’m currently taking Galliprant to help with pain and mobility (~$65 for a one month’s supply), along with Dasuquin Chews for Large Dogs to support joint health (~$45 for two month’s supply). I also have hypothyroidism and am currently taking Levothyroxine to help me manage it (~$5 for a one month’s supply).
I’d love a calm and patient home – one without a lot of food traffic. It takes me a bit to adjust to new faces, so I’d prefer to not have too many visitors coming in and out. I’m independent and don’t have separation anxiety, so I’d be perfectly okay being on my own each day, either sleeping or playing with my enrichment toys. I’m not dog- or cat-friendly, so I’d prefer to be your one and only. Kiddos, though, are A-OK – just as long as they are older and can respect my space.
If you’re looking for a loving, gentle, and loyal companion, I might just be the perfect match for you. My adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
