Polly

POLLY - Lab-Mix / 1.5 Years / 20kg / F-spayed<br/><br/>Dear Future Family,<br/><br/>Hi… my name is Polly. I'm hoping that my forever family might be reading this...I know that I'm not the loudest dog in the room and I don't ask to be the centre of attention. I'm really more of a quiet and gentle girl who takes the slow-burn approach when it comes to new things. But my foster family tells me that that's actually one of my best qualities. I like to take my time getting to know the world around me. I watch carefully, I listen thoughtfully, and I take everything in. There's just so much in this new Canadian world to notice. I might be a bit timid when you first meet me, but I promise that once I know you, my loving, affectionate side starts to shine. The first time I lean in for a cuddle or jump up on the couch next to you: that's when you know I've chosen you to give my whole heart to.<br/><br/>My foster family says that I'm soft and soulful. I think that means that I love deeply and gently. I’m affectionate and loyal — the kind of dog who will quietly follow you from room to room and curl up close just to be near you. I seek the company of my people and I know exactly how to make their day better. Maybe a gentle kiss to make them smile? A soft nose boop to make them laugh? Or maybe just sitting beside them, leaning into them, and letting them know they're never alone.<br/><br/>Every day I grow a little braver and a little more confident. New things can feel big and scary sometimes, but I find comfort and confidence in my fellow dog friends. That means that I need a family who already has a dog friend for me — a live-in canine companion to show me the ropes and remind me everything is okay when I feel a bit nervous.<br/><br/>While I thrive in calm environments, my playful and energetic side is coming out more and more. I just discovered toys this week and love romping around in the backyard or going for longs walks with my dog friends. Even though I love the more gentle things in life, I'm still your classic lab who loves to explore, loves to play, and loves to run around.<br/><br/>I’m here, learning, growing, and hoping that somewhere out there, my family is looking for me too.<br/><br/>Hopefully yours,<br/><br/>Polly 🐾<br/><br/>If you're looking for a soul dog like Polly, go to www.dibsrescue.com for all adoption and application information. Polly's adoption fee is $750. If you are a family with kids, please check out our resources on kids and dogs before you apply (https://dibsrescue.com/kids-dogs/).
