Here's a comment from one of Polly's fans...
"Well done SPCA and well done to the fantastic new owner Polly has. What a great outcome all round and how lucky is Polly to have such a wonderful life now. The latest update was an absolute joy to read.
I was one of those who made a donation at the time Polly's plight came to light and it's sooooo good to learn that her life has come full circle now. It sounds like she couldn't wish for anything more.
So again, to all concerned, well done on a brilliant outcome. I LOVE good news stories like this one. Chris"

Adoption time !
What a weekend that was! On Friday afternoon, I moved to my new forever home in Auckland, and there have been lots of new things for me to get used to; new car, new bedroom, new family, new garden, new toys, new pool, new cats and new food.
I am having a fabulous time and I give my new mum lots of cuddles and smooches. I have two big canine brothers, Decca (a trained guide dog, who belongs to the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind) and Fred, who are incredibly charming and look after me. They protect me from other dogs when I play in the park, they give me a head start when I run to catch a tennis ball, they sleep on either side of me in our room at night, and they tell me at meal times that they’ll eat my food if I don’t hurry up and eat it myself.
My mum is quite strict (in a kind and loving way, of course) with my routine, my training and with what she expects me to do. She knows I am a very bright cookie and she’s keen to make sure I use my brain intelligently and don’t become naughty instead. So, we’re off walking for an hour every morning before the sun rises, and again in the evening. I am expected to use my manners all the time. I’m a very quick learner and I also watch what my brothers do, so I’m picking up on my new routine and skills very, very quickly. When they sit, I sit. When they lie down, I lie down. When they shake water out of their coats, I pretend to shake water out of mine, even if I’m not wet!
My life has changed completely in the last few months since I was found in Warkworth. It is because of the care and generosity of people like you, and the wonderful SPCA staff, that I have been able to progress to being the very happy poppet that I am now.
I will keep you updated on how I am doing during the next few months. In the meantime, thank you from the depth of my heart for caring for me and the many other animals who find themselves needing special help. You are our angels.
Love from Polly x x
