We received the best news on National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day – Polly (a.k.a. Polly Pocket) has been adopted!

Do you remember the sweet pup who arrived at Iberville Parish Animal Shelter in Louisiana with a swollen head due to an embedded collar? She was nearly choked to death by a collar that was placed on her as a puppy and never removed as she continued to grow.
