Polly Poppy

Polly Poppy's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

This is our sweet Polly Poppy (who is the sister of Molly Marigold).  Polly is a total cuddle bug and loves to give and get lots of hugs and kisses. She also enjoys being outside exploring and playing with her sister and the other dogs at her foster home.  Polly is a very personable young lady who loves meeting people and is just a sweet cutie pie. 

 Our best assessment (no guarantee) is that Polly is a Shih Tzu mix.  She has a medium-length coat of light cream and white and is a little beauty.  Currently (7/13/16), she is about 7 months of age and weighs 14.5 lbs.  We anticipate (though cannot guarantee) that she will be no more than 20 lbs when full grown.  Like her sister Molly, Polly is already spayed and is ready for her forever home. 

We believe that Polly would do best in a home with another dog, and she will definitely require a fenced-in yard.  In addition, while we can place Polly and Molly separately, we will give preference to applicants wishing to adopt them together.

If you have the time, willingness and ability to commit to Polly and/or Molly for life, please register on www.safeatlast.net (click Register on the left-hand side of our homepage).  When you receive your password on your email account, then log back on to the website with your username and password to complete the SAFE AT LAST adoption application (click Forms/Applications on the left-hand side of our homepage).  Until we have your completed SAFE AT LAST application, we cannot consider you.  We do NOT accept the applications of other organizations (including Petfinder, Adopt a Pet, All Paws, etc).    Once we have your completed Safe At Last adoption application, we will email you to schedule a phone interview.  After that, we will call your references and perform a home assessment. 

Polly’s adoption fee is $375.  For applicants wishing to adopt both Polly and Molly, the total adoption fee is $600.  We are an all-volunteer organization; we charge an adoption fee to cover our costs (medical, vetting, transport, food, etc) and to help other dogs in need.  100% of your adoption fee - every single cent - goes back to the rescue to pay for our costs and help other dogs, particularly those with special needs. 

Our animals are fostered in private homes; we do not have a centralized facility.  THEREFORE, YOU CANNOT MEET THE PUPS UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR ADOPTION.  ALSO, we do not restrict adoptions by location, but ADOPTERS ARE REQUIRED TO COME TO THE FOSTER HOME (IN THIS CASE, MIDDLEBURGH, NY) TO COMPLETE THE ADOPTION.  WE DO NOT DELIVER OR SHIP OUR RESCUE ANIMALS. 

If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].  We are happy to assist.

Thank you for your interest & for helping us save shelter pets, one life at a time.
