More about
Polly
Polly is one of 8 puppies that were born in a pile of old pallets in a an orange grove in Cyprus. The lady who found them and fed them all, is giving Polly's mum a wonderful forever home after managing to catch and spay her.
Polly is in a foster home in Farnborough, living with more dogs and having the time of her life.
Miniature Pinschers are very smart and love their families, but they can also be independent and may try to test their owner's limits, hence why puppy/obedience training classes are such a good idea.
From her foster family: little Polly pocket would literally be in my pocket if I let her. She's a confident little pup, loves her foster siblings but equally loves human attention. She's a very sweet loving little girl!"

IMPORTANT INFO
Thinking about adopting a rescue dog?
Please think about these points before applying:
Many rescue dogs have had a tough past and may need time to adjust.
Some aren’t used to living in a home and could find new things scary.
You may need patience and sometimes help from a trainer or behaviourist.
A secure garden is essential.
Ask yourself:
Do I have enough time and commitment for a dog?
What will I do during holidays, nights out, or if I’m unwell?
Can I cope if my dog takes a long time to settle?
Do I have the finances for food, insurance, vet bills, training, and care?
If adopting a puppy, can I cover the cost of neutering/spaying?
ADOPTION PROCESS
What are the steps to Adopt a Dog from us
1. Browse dogs on our website
See if the dogs you like are a good fit for your home and routine.
-
If you see a dog you like, you can apply to adopt them directly.
-
If you don’t find the right dog, you can still fill out an application in advance.
Once a dog matching your requirements becomes available, we’ll contact you first.
2. Fill the adoption application
Tell us about yourself and your lifestyle. Adopters are required to complete an application form.
We’ll chat to make sure any dog you choose is a perfect match for you, taking into account your home, routine, and experience.
3. Home visit & Meet the dog
Before meeting a dog, a successful home visit by the rescue is required.
Once approved, you’ll visit the rescue and spend time with the dog. You’ll get to know their personality, ask questions, and see how they interact with you. We’ll discuss your lifestyle and the dog’s needs to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
4. Adoption
When you’re ready, we’ll complete the adoption process:
-
Sign the paperwork
-
Pay the adoption fee (£495). In most cases, this doesn’t cover the full costs incurred by the rescue, so we’re always grateful if adopters wish to make an additional donation.
-
Take your new dog home and start your journey together
About spay/neuter:
-
Adult dogs will always be neutered by the rescue either prior to homing or, in occasional cases, shortly after with arrangements made with the adopter.
-
The rescue does not spay or neuter dogs under 12 months of age, and this cost is the adopter’s responsibility.
-
Recommended ages: males 8–12 months; females after their first season (typically 8–12 weeks after). The rescue will ask for proof that this has been done.
5. Post adopton support
Our support continues after adoption. We’ll stay in touch and offer advice as your rescue dog settles into their new home.
