Polo - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Dewey, Oklahoma

Oh, Polo. Where do we even begin with this boy?

Polo is a 2-year-old Pitty who came to us as a stray, absolutely terrified of the world around him. He was scared of his own shadow, and watching him slowly learn to trust and enjoy life has been one of the sweetest things to witness.

Today, Polo is one big, goofy teenager trapped in a grown dog's body! He is full of personality, loves to have fun, and has a heart that is just as big as his bark.

And speaking of that bark, Polo has a BIG, deep bark that can sound pretty intimidating. He can also be fearful of men and may need a little extra time to feel comfortable around them. But don't let that first impression fool you. Give this boy a chance to warm up, and you'll discover one of the sweetest, silliest dogs around.

Polo absolutely loves attention. When he's spending time with his people, he's happy to settle down and soak up all the affection you're willing to give him.

But take him outside, and it's a whole different Polo! This boy LOVES his ball. Throw it, chase it, repeat! And if you give him a stuffed toy, well, let's just say that stuffie probably won't live to see another day. Polo takes his job as a professional stuffie destroyer very seriously!

What makes Polo so special is that he has the best of both worlds. He's a playful, goofy boy who knows how to have a good time, but he also has such a sweet, affectionate side that makes you fall in love with him.

Polo isn't perfect. He still has some fears to overcome and needs someone who understands that trust takes time. But this boy has come SO far, and he deserves someone who will see the amazing dog he has become rather than the frightened dog he once was.

Don't let his big bark fool you. Behind that tough-guy voice is a goofy, ball-loving, stuffie-shredding sweetheart who just wants someone to love him.

Give Polo a little patience, a tennis ball, and a chance to steal your heart. Trust us, he's pretty good at that last part.

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.
