DESCRIPTION
Meet Polly!
Polly and her sister Pocket were found living under a house and were a bit under socialized, but made tremendous progress since April once they came under shelter care in NM. Compared to some puppies, they are a little more shy - but they are not snappy or growly. They made their way to CO and now are looking for their furever homes!!
Polly loves the water and is having fun racing around the backyard with her sister! They are both definitely super social with other dogs, but will need a patient family who will to give space to decompress and figure out a new home environment.
