Hi my name is Polly! I am 3 months old and I am a very happy, playful puppy. I have 4 other siblings. I am looking for a Furever home. I am smart and I can’t wait to learn many tricks. If you like me and want to adopt me, please fill out an application at save.rescuegroups.org. Can you please share this post so I can find my family, it gets a bit crazy in our room with all my siblings playing constantly. Thank you!
