Polo is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours!

Polo is a little island soul looking to become a Chicago dog!

Pictures do not show just how small Polo is-- he is only about 18lbs! At just 7 months old, this sweet Sato puppy has already traveled a long way, and now he's hoping his journey will lead him to the family he's been waiting for.

Originally from Puerto Rico, this little guy is full of personality. He's independent, wonderfully silly, and completely smitten with people. He has a playful spirit and a sweetness that makes it hard not to fall in love with him. Whether he's entertaining himself with a puppy adventure or soaking up attention from the people around him, he brings a little more joy wherever he goes.

Like any young puppy, he's still learning about the world and growing into the wonderful dog he's meant to be. What he needs now is someone willing to give him time, patience, guidance, and lots of love as he discovers what it means to finally have a home of his own.

After everything he's been through, this little Sato deserves more than a place to stay. He deserves a family who will love his silly quirks, celebrate his independent spirit, and remind him every day that he is home.

Could you be the person who gives this sweet boy his happily-ever-after?

Polo's adoption fee is $375. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

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.
