Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Scott, Louisiana

POLO: The Phantom of the Shelter

From the shadows of the kennel emerges a masked charmer with a heart ready to be seen... meet Polo.

Just one year old, this 70-pound leading man is equal parts playful spirit and loyal companion. By day, he delights in rope toys and epic tug-of-war battles—a performer with energy and joy that fills the room. By night (or whenever treats appear), he's all about the softer side—sitting politely like a perfect gentleman, waiting for his reward.

Behind that striking half-mask face is a dog who doesn't want to hide—he wants to love and be loved. His playful nature, eagerness to learn, and affectionate personality make him a star in the making for the right home.

Polo may be heartworm positive, but don't let that dim his spotlight—he just needs a chance, a little care, and someone willing to help him take center stage in a new life.

Will you be the one to unmask his happily ever after?

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
