Are you right for Polo?

Polo is a two-year-old Terrier looking for a loving home. He could share his home with teenage children, he could potentially live with a calm, independent, senior dog, or be equally as happy as the only dog in the home. He will need a home without cats or small furries, and we have no history of him with livestock. Polo is a nervous car traveller so would best suit shorter journeys if necessary and paired with a nice fun, enjoyable walk at the end to build up a positive association with the car. He has a shy nature and would best suit a quieter home environment.

Is Polo right for you?

Polo is a sweet little lad with a shy nature, it takes him a moment to warm to people and when he does you will see his fun and affectionate side. Once he knows you, he enjoys a game of ball and leans into you to initiate a fuss. Polo loves to go for walks and enjoys a good sniff to explore his environment. He does not mind if calm, chilled dogs join him out and about on walks. Polo enjoys a nice comfy bed to settle on and has spent some time chilling in a quiet office. He likes treats and he knows a ‘sit’.
