About Pollock:
Pollock is an adorable little pup from our Artist Pups litter. With his silky ears and gorgeous tri-color coat of brown, fawn, and white, this pup is sure to steal your heart. Listed as a Shar-Pei mix his foster mom thinks he also has some Hound in him. With his extremely short coat he will be low shedding, too.
Personality:
Pollock is a sweet and affectionate puppy who demands to be picked up first to give you frantic kisses. He loves to play and explore his surroundings, making every moment an adventure. His spunky and curious nature keeps him interested in everything around him. Whether he’s engaging with his littermates, playing with toys, or snuggling up for a nap, Pollock does it all with a delightful spirit.

Training:
Pollock is at the perfect age to begin his training journey. He’s bright and eager to please, making him an excellent candidate for basic obedience training and housebreaking. With consistent positive reinforcement and a bit of patience, Pollock will quickly learn new commands and behaviors, growing into a well-mannered and loyal companion.
Ideal Home:
Pollock would thrive in a loving and active home where he can receive plenty of attention and exercise. He would be a great fit for families, singles, or couples who have the time and energy to dedicate to his upbringing. A home with a yard or access to outdoor spaces would be ideal for his playful nature. He would also enjoy the companionship of other dogs.
Health:
Pollock is a healthy young pup and will come microchipped, and up-to-date on his vaccinations and deworming. Regular vet check-ups and a balanced diet will help him grow into a robust and healthy adult. Please note that Pollock is so young, he has only received 2 of the required 3 puppy distemper vaccines. This is very IMPORTANT because it means that his immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age. Until then, he MUST stay out of public places where he could be exposed to the germs of other dogs. These no puppy zones include all pet stores, dog parks, and for apartment dwellers, areas used by other dogs. These requirements are strictly for Pollock’s medical safety and longevity.
If you’re looking for a loving, energetic, and delightful new family member, Pollock might be the perfect addition to your home. Apply today and see if he’s the furry friend you’ve been searching for!
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
