Breed: Greyhound X
Age: 2 year old
Location: Tauhei area
Polar is looking for a new home. She was adopted from DC about a year ago. Since then she has been training as a land sled dog but unfortunately her feet are not standing up to the longer distances on rougher ground that is required for the sport and she would be happiest in a different home. This is a tough decision but is the best decision for her.

Here's what her current owner has to say about her: "Polar is a very happy and energetic girl who is used to running around in the country with her doggie friends. She is very fit and will need the chance to run around every day. For the last year she has been an outside dog, but enjoys her inside time when she can get it. Very good manners inside and house trained. She has lived with my 8 year old son and new born girl with no problem, but can get over excited sometimes."

Polar is easy to have around, was crated indoors while in care here with no issues. She has great drive and is very speedy & fit so would also suit other dog sports such as agility. Social with other dogs, and was around my cat while in care last year. Polar requires a home where she can receive a good amount of exercise, and have plenty of love & training. Polar has had a few homes already (no fault of her own) so would really love her next home to be forever.

**Original ad** Meet Polar! Polar has the sweetest nature and is very submissive. She would be great in a home with kids. She is easy to have around and knows all the basic commands. Polar is toilet trained and also crate trained. She is currently fostered with 3 other dogs and would love a home with another dog! She is super social and plays very nicely. She likes to be close to people and will be your best buddy. She is quite speedy and learns quickly so would make a good agility dog. Breed: Greyhound x She isnt very tall but has a very slim build. Age: Approx 1 year Located: Hamilton She is great with other dogs, very playful and loves to swim! Polar would be best suited to a home without chickens. She would probably be okay with a confident cat. Polar will go to her new home desexed, at least first vaccination, microchipped, registered with NZCAR, council registered, worm/flea treated so an adoption donation is asked to help recover part of her rescue costs.

Managed to cut call short then phd Spark. They do not ph people if their computers are slow due to internet problems. The calls from Spark technicians are not the actual Spark technicians so be very aware that these people are scammers. Spread the word.
