POLLO's Story

Meet Pollo, The American Muscle Muppet (Extra-strong edition)! This muppet is best enjoyed with a harness and a sense of humor Pollo is a large, strong (~75 lb) and energetic boy who needs an experienced, confident handler. He’s eager to get out and explore but pulls hard on leash, so a harness is required—once harnessed, he does better on calm, sniffy walks in low-traffic areas.<br/><br/> In the kennel, Pollo can be noisy and over-stimulated when there’s lots of activity, but he settles when things are quieter. He may alarm bark at the front of his kennel yet happily comes out once he sees the leash. With people, he’s more independent than cuddly—he tolerates handling well and was cooperative for veterinary care, though he can be sensitive during harnessing with some individuals. <br/><br/>Pollo is very interested in other dogs and can become over-aroused (jumping, fence running, barking), but he is not aggressive. Due to his rowdy play-style, 'hormonal' tendancies, he’s currently not in playgroup and may do best as an only dog or with another dog who can give appropriate corrections. <br/><br/>Pollo isn’t big on toys or treats, but he knows “sit,” is easy to return to his kennel, and has lots of personality. With structure, patience, and the right setup, Pollo could thrive as a loyal companion for someone who can match his strength and energy. 03/30/26 12:33 What I did today: I jumped in the car for a fun ride to the park, loving<br/> every second with my head out the window soaking up the breeze! At the <br/>park I got to run and play with toys to burn off some energy before <br/>heading out for a long trail walk. I enjoyed taking in all the new smells and <br/>sights and at the end of our walk I got a pupcup – yum!<br/> What to know about this dog: <br/>• Energetic and strong — pulls moderately on leash and would thrive<br/>with continued leash training <br/>• Strong prey drive — not suitable for a home with cats<br/> • Friendly, affectionate, and highly treat-motivated — knows sit and<br/>eager to learn more <br/>• Would do best in an active home that can provide plenty of exercise,<br/>structure, and training<br/> Three words to describe me: Energetic, Friendly, Playful
