Pola

My story

Meet Pola! Pola and her brother Samson were entrusted to our care through the Final Wish Program. This is their story: On May 9th, a woman arrived on our patio holding two small senior dogs, Pola and Samson. Grieving and overwhelmed, she was in the midst of planning her mother’s funeral while also caring for her disabled husband. Through tears, she told us her mom had passed away the week before — and that she had promised to do right by her dogs. Pola and Samson are both 12 years old, weigh 12 lbs., and are very sweet. They are currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we can learn more about them in a home setting while they receive lots of love and care. Their Fling Mom shared: "These two adorable seniors have completely melted my heart. From the moment they arrived, they’ve been calm, well-behaved, and full of gentle affection—for each other and for me. 💤 They sleep like champions! Through the night, during the day, in the funniest positions (see photos and videos!)—they’ve got their nap game perfected. On their first night here, I set up two dog beds in a row. Pola started in hers but quickly jumped into Sampson’s to snuggle. Pola especially loves curling up close to someone’s body. 🥹 On their second night, they trusted me enough to sleep with me. I felt so honored. They allowed themselves a little independence and each chose their favorite spot—Pola cuddled up right next to my head on a pillow (💖) and Sampson picked a comfy spot a little farther away. It was such a peaceful night. 💉 Pola was recently diagnosed with diabetes and just started insulin. She’s doing amazing—she cuddles right up and lets you give her the shot without a fuss. She does need frequent potty breaks and drinks plenty of water, but she’s so light and easygoing I just want her to gain a bit of healthy weight while she’s with me. 🐒 Sampson is the soft-hearted brother. He needs eye drops morning and night but takes them like a pro. He’s a cuddler too—and a toy collector! His favorite right now is a little monkey that he carries around to his chill zones. His top lounging spot? My couch. Even if no one else is there, he claims it like royalty. ❤️ The bond between them is beautiful. Pola used to stay right by Sampson’s side 24/7, but now she’s gained some confidence and follows me around instead. Still, if she hasn’t seen her brother in a while, she’ll go check on him—then come right back like, “Okay, just making sure he’s still there.” 🍽 They’re both eating well—Pola’s enjoying wet food with special diabetic treats, and Sampson gets a mix of Pedigree kibble and wet food. Tonight, Pola had her first diabetic-friendly “cookie” and was very pleased, while Sampson enjoyed a regular treat alongside her. These two are just gems. If you’re looking for love, laughter, and low-key companionship times two… consider adopting Pola and Sampson!" We would love to find a forever family for Pola and Samson together. Might that be you?
