Name: Polo
Breed: Pit bull terrier
Age: 8 years old
Gender: Male
Polo is an 8-year-old gentle giant with a heart as big as he is. This sweet, affectionate boy loves being close to his people—if you’re sitting, he’ll be right by your side like a living weighted blanket.
Shelter life has been overwhelming for Polo, leading to some jumpy, excited behavior and forgotten manners, but with patience, structure, and kindness, he’ll truly shine. He’s best suited for an adult-only home or one with teens and up. Polo already knows sit, give paw, and lay down, and is eager to keep learning. He adores toys—especially rope toys—and a good game of tug makes his day. Polo is strong and pulls enthusiastically on leash, so adopters should be ready to help him learn calmer walks. While he’s had dog friends before, he’s currently most comfortable starting out as an only dog. Polo is looking for a loving home where he can decompress and feel secure. He can’t wait to meet his new best friend! For more info on this pet, please visit https://www.dakinhumane.org/adopt-a-pet
