About this Dog
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. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $525.00

Adopt Polar and Receive Polar's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Polar's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Polar's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Polar, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Polar's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Polar was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Polar’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Polar’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Polar’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
