According to Polo’s profile, he’s “sort of a big deal.”
The victim of a horrific event (tossed into a fire by a group of heartless youth, he suffered burns to 90 per cent of his body), this one-year-old boy was rescued by Winnipeg-based Save a Dog Network Canada before being transferred to L.E.A.S.H. Animal Welfare Society in Maple Ridge, B.C.
“Despite it all, he’s a happy guy,” says L.E.A.S.H.'s Cassi MacDonald. “He loves most everyone he meets and, if you couldn’t see his scars, you would have no idea that something so traumatic had ever happened.”
"Polo, she says, loves to go on walks and explore. Though his leash skills “could use some work,” he obeys commands relatively well (even better when snacks are involved).
“He recently discovered water and loves it,” MacDonald says, adding that Polo, a real “ladies’ man,” would love to find a home with a friendly female dog to play with (cats and older children are OK, too).
“He loves a good romp, someone to play chase with and who can keep up with him on hikes,” she says. “He’s a really good boy who’s looking for a perfect fit – ideally, an active couple with a big yard, big hearts and a big appetite for adventure. After all Polo’s been through he’s not prepared to settle – so he’s shooting for the stars!”
