Polo's Story

Meet Polo — A Very Special, Very Scared Boy<br/><br/>Polo is about 1½–2 years old and is extremely fearful of the world around him. He is not a social dog and will not be the one greeting guests or going out on adventures. Polo is the dog who stays in the corner, watching and trying to feel safe.<br/><br/>When overwhelmed, he can shut down and may even have accidents due to fear. This is not bad behavior—it’s fear.<br/><br/>Polo is looking for a very specific home:<br/>• Quiet, calm, low-traffic environment<br/>• Patient, understanding adopter<br/>• Someone willing to give him time—on his terms<br/>• No expectations for quick progress<br/><br/>This is not a beginner dog and not a quick turnaround. Polo needs a committed adopter who understands fearful dogs and is ready to help him feel safe.<br/><br/>We know the right person is out there—someone who understands that scared dogs aren’t broken, they just need time, patience, and kindness.<br/><br/>If that sounds like you, please apply below:<br/>👉 https://www.delilahs2ndchance.org/adopt

Delilahs 2nd Chance's Adoption Policy
Thank you for your interest in Delilah's 2nd Chance and our many rescue pets! In a world where pets are bought and sold like accessories, we greatly appreciate those who prefer to rescue and adopt rather than shop. Here at Delilah's we are a rescue and not a shelter, so we work with many volunteers and fosters to house and maintain the well-being of our animals, so please bear with us as many of us also have responsibilities and full time jobs outside of our crazy rescue lives! But don't worry, we are just as excited as you are to unite you with you new furry friend! Here's a few key things to note. - First and foremost, please fill out an app at Delilahs2ndChance.org/adopt once it's been reviewed we will be in contact with you at the earliest convenience. This process takes 2-5 days with home visit and reference checks. We reserve the right to deny any application or you may cancel the process. - Once your application has been approved we will find the best fitting fur baby for your needs and situation. - As a foster based rescue and for our furry friends safety, we need to schedule meet and greets for you and your furry friend, we currently do not have a main facility. If you have any other pets, please make sure to note it on your app and if possible, bring them to the meet and greet if requested. - Adoption fees may vary and range from $0-$700 Don't let the price scare you, our fur babies come spayed/neutered, immunizations, deworming, microchipped, rabies shots over 6 months w/certification(no tag). We reserve the right to get creative with our adoption fees as we always want our rescues to have the amazing homes they deserve. - We take applications in the order they are received and approved, unless there is a $150 non refundable deposit made to hold the rescue during the application process. In the event that the rescue you're interested in is already pending or has a deposit, don't fret, we have plenty of amazing recuse to choose from! Now that you have the process and the basics, we hope to hear from you soon or if you're getting this in response to your app, we will be in touch! Sincerely, Delilahs Family ?
