Update...

Hello everyone

Time for a quick update on Polly's progress over the last few weeks. As you can see from the previous photos on her blog, Polly is currently living the life of Riley in her foster home. Polly is being looked after by one of the SPCA staff so she gets to come into the village every day but goes to her foster home at night so she has the best of both worlds.

Polly has turned out to be a real character and has personality plus, she loves the water and is having daily training in good manners, walking nicely on a lead and general good behaviour. Her foster mum has discovered that Polly needs to have lots of daily exercise otherwise she can tend to start looking for things to chew including washing, shoes and other household items.

Polly has recovered really well from her surgery but she does have a slight limp and has limited movement in her injured leg but she still gets around without any trouble and is very active and playful.

The Auckland SPCA received twelve applications to adopt Polly as far ranging as Christchurch and Wellington so we are in the process of working our way through them all and contacting the applicants.

We hope that Polly will be in a new home within the next 4 - 5 weeks but we will keep you updated as things progress ...

On behalf of Polly and all the other animals here at the Auckland SPCA, we'd like to say a big "Thank You" again to our wonderful supporters for helping us to help these animals...
