Polo

My story

Meet Polo! He is the happiest, most rambunctious fellow serving major puppy energy at age 8. This cuddly boy arrived looking like a malnourished little tumbleweed ~ spine out, haunches hollow, the whole deal. But now? He’s a solid, snuggly 20 lbs of fluff and opinions. Polo is on the hunt for his furever home and ready to be your only dog and full-time companion. He’d thrive with an active human or a family with older kids who can keep up with his need for attention, adventure, and maybe a few belly rubs --every hour on the hour, thank you very much. He walks well on leash and enjoys a good car ride. He loves toys, puzzles and having special one-on-one time with his humans. Since he has big main character energy, he loves being the center of attention and is not looking to share the spotlight with other dogs. This short-legged king has the CUTEST zoomies - think less "running" and more "hopping around looking goofy." Here's a Top 10 list from Polo's foster family, because this little guy deserves a resume: - Holds a PhD in Cuddling with a minor in Personal Space Invasion - Has formally requested belly rubs be written into his future adoption contract - Will shamelessly steal pats intended for his foster brother, Wetzel - Provides emotional support while you prep his food (his own emotional support comes from eating said food) - Trash panda tendencies ~ especially if tissues are involved - Sleeps through the night like a tiny weighted blanket - Approaches stairs with suspicion but conquers them anyway - Believes all stuffies are his children - Naps like a champ when left home alone - Likes to mark in the house so he rocks a belly band like it’s a designer accessory Looking for an energetic, affectionate, and slightly dramatic velcro dog? Look no further: Polo is ready and waiting to be your everything. Polo is 8 years old and 19 lbs. Fostered in Washington, DC Please apply at MirisHaven.org
