This is another of the three girls we recently took in. All of them came from a breeder situation, and they've had a rough time but those days are behind them. We've actually had them for a little while, but they've needed time to decompress, to get acclimated, and for us to be able to learn more about them. All three of them had internal and external parasites and were filthy.
Before we go any further, we'd ask that you keep comments positive, because they're out of their former situation and they've got their better days ahead.
Meet Polly Pocket! She, like the other two, is 5-6 years old. Polly had been so down on life that sheād given up walking pretty much altogether (in the past, there probably wasnāt anything good waiting at the end of the walk.) Polly now stands up and walks with people, not necessarily on a lead, but she goes. Her body is showing the benefit of some movement - she looks stronger and her shoulders, while not great, seem a bit stronger. She's in fairly decent health all things considered. Polly isnāt quite housebroken yet, but sheās learning - mill girls often take time due to the conditions they were living under.
Polly is coming out of her shell and is starting to develop a personality. When she got here, she would not eat if anyone was anywhere close, and if the rescue director stuck my head in their room, she'd get as far away from as she could. Now she eats as soon as her bowl is set down, and expects those treats when she comes in from outside! Sheās now gotten to where a pretty short walk is sort of an adventure. Not quite going to Disneyland, but it is kind of FUN! So far she and the other girls seem to be OK with the other dogs, but as with many mill girls, they really donāt know how to be a dog yet. They right now donāt know what toys are for, and they donāt know how to play with other dogs. All three will need a patient person to work with them, but they all deserve a happy place to live.
Her adoption fee is $500. Sheās spayed and up to date on all vaccination.s If youād like to find out more about her, please fill out an application at bulldogrescueofutah.org.adopt to get started. Thank you!
