Polly

Meet Polly, a beautiful young Collie cross with a gentle nature and a personality that really shines once she feels comfortable. She can be affectionate on her own terms at first, but once she forms a bond she becomes incredibly loyal and loving. Polly has a sweet way of asking for attention for her favourite carers, she’ll happily nestle into them or give a gentle paw to ask for a little more fuss.
She walks wonderfully on the lead and really enjoys getting out and exploring the world at her own pace, especially when there are plenty of interesting scents to sniff along the way. Polly also has a playful side and absolutely loves her toys, with squeaky ones being a clear favourite.
Polly would be happiest in a home where someone is around for most of the day to keep her company and continue building that special bond she enjoys with her people. With a little patience and understanding, Polly will reward her new family with lots of affection, companionship, and play!

More details about Polly

Polly can find veterinary visits quite overwhelming and will require a muzzle for handling, as she becomes very fearful in this environment. She is currently undergoing positive association sessions at the vet to help build her confidence, and will need continued support with this in her new home.
