Y’all meet Polly☺️~

Polly is an 8yo Maltese who was rescued by a local organization after her owner passed away. Despite being both purebred AND an absolute sweetheart, Polly had no applications (likely because of her age). She’s house trained, spayed, good with other animals, and all of her medical care has been paid for by the rescue. To top it all off, her adopt fee was less than a third of the cost of purchasing a puppy from a breeder!

Rescues are overwhelmed this time of the year, as puppies are born and begin to flood every local shelter. However, that means that more often than not older dogs like Polly get overlooked despite being EXCELLENT dogs, especially for those of us not wanting to deal with raising/training a puppy.

Luckily, Polly and her good manners are exactly what I was looking for, so she will be spending her retirement with me and my pack out in the country

If you’re to looking to adopt any time soon, please don’t forget all the lovely, well behaved seniors like Polly out there!
