Polo

Polo is a 2 year old, 60 pound shepherd/retriever mix with a big heart, a bright mind, and an irresistible zest for life. If you’re looking for a dog who brings joy, energy, and affection into every room he enters, this sweet boy might be the perfect match.<br/>💛 Why Everyone Falls for Polo<br/>• Affectionate and fun loving — he adores belly rubs, outdoor time, and being with his people<br/>• Smart and eager to learn — already working on fetch, “come,” and “off”<br/>• Housebroken and walks well on a leash<br/>• Big Dog friendly and respectful of cats (he’s actually a little scared of them and gives them space) - smaller dogs he's too rough with. He likes to run and wrestle<br/>• Gentle with kids — he was calm and sweet when meeting a 6 year old<br/>• Knows “sit” and “lie down”<br/>• Loyal companion — he likes to follow his foster family from room to room and be part of the action<br/>Polo does have a few puppy like quirks: he jumps when excited, can be mouthy for attention - he needs consistent training on those. Understanding he can't grab your hand (like he's a kid pulling you to play)<br/>🏡 Polo’s Ideal Home<br/>Polo would thrive with:<br/>• A fenced yard to run and play<br/>• An experienced dog owner who can continue his training<br/>• Bigger kids only because of the mouthiness and jumping<br/>• Another big dog is a bonus but not required<br/>• Someone home as he does not like to be alone and hates to be crated (remember he came from AL running free outside all day)<br/>Polo is currently fostered in Tampa. Please DM us if you're interested and make sure you have an app filled out. Adoption fee is $300 and he is neutered and fully vaccinated.
