Hey, I’m Polar. I’m a 2 year old, 55 pound terrier mix. I am 24 inches at the shoulders and 29 inches at head height. I am ohhh so sweet and such a joy to have around. I am learning to leave the resident cats alone. I take a bit to warm up to dogs who try to boss me around. I do okay on a leash. I am kennel and potty trained. I came from a shelter in Mexico where I spent almost a year waiting for my forever home but it never came. I think I will have better luck here. I am absolutely enjoying the cooler weather. I love love love being outside. I listen very well and have already caught on to “leave it,” “look,” “lay down” and “wait.” I have very good recall. My family in Mexico abandoned me and I was waiting for them to come home for two weeks. The rescue realized they weren’t coming home and I was taken in and saved. I have learned to gain confidence inside the home and have become super comfortable. I had hip dysplasia. The doctor decided to remove the balls at the top of my legs to help with pain. Hardwood floors and stairs are a challenge. I’m trying to figure out how to not slip and slide on them. Dog socks have been helping. Aside from taking things slowly in the house, I am an absolute angel (most of the time.) I never chew anything, even my toys unless they’re really crinkly. I just carry my toys around like they are my prize. I love playing ball but don’t always love giving you the ball. I will throw the ball to you or for myself sometimes. I am super treat motivated and have learned the words “go to your room” and “night night.” I will go right in. I am a very silly boy and would love to have a family of my own. I am currently on pain meds and wear a brace sometimes to help with my legs.
