Meet Polly. She is 3 years old. Polly is a petite 20kg hound and what she lacks in size, she makes up for in energy. She loves her walks so is looking for an active home. She is a very loveable girl, and loves to cuddle up on the sofa. She is with us in foster in north Cumbria.

Polly is the sweetest little hound you could meet, and we are loving having her stay with us. She is a fun and cheeky companion who loves to play with other dogs. She adores playing with toys, and carrying them around with her.

Polly will need a secure garden in a home in a rural and quiet location. Unexpected noises bother her. She is shy of new people but really comes out of her shell once she knows you. She gets on great with other dogs and has lived among farm animals. She could live with older children who will understand the importance of keeping gates/doors closed. Polly would love to live with an outgoing dog to help her confidence. If you would like to know more about Polly, then call us or drop us an email.

If you enjoy jogging or canicross, Polly may be a perfect running partner. A running friend has been taking Polly on runs on the fells, and she is loving it. Check out her videos on our Facebook  Facebook and  INSTAGRAM

POLLY’S HISTORY In case anyone wonders why Polly has been available for some time, it may help if we explain more of her history. When she was racing in 2024, she got lost on the fells. She was out for a number of days with no sightings, despite her family and friends searching daily for her. She was finally found on the 9th day. For this reason, we are being very careful of the home that we choose for her. It must meet her needs exactly.

March 2026 UPDATE Polly recently had a 2 week break in Devon to see if the home may suit her needs. Polly loved going for long country runs but was less keen on walking through the busy, and sometimes noisy, village. She loved cuddling up with the family on the sofa but was less happy in the garden which was surrounded by other cottages and their associated noises. Polly is very dog friendly but the young dog in the home was a bit too excited  by her presence, and was showing no signs of calming down. Ultimately , we all agreed that it was not quite right for her, but we learnt more about her needs. We absolutely know that a perfect home is out there for her.  Please contact us for a chat to find out more about Polly.
