Story
We live on 10 acres surrounded by farmland. "Polly" showed up one day and just sort of never left. She loves the kids, dogs, and cats. She is very friendly. You can tell she has had litters in the past. We assume she was left in the country. Fast forward to today- we are moving to town and can't have an outside dog. Looking for an acreage home for her.
