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.

We asked for your help to cover her medical bills through Greater Good Charities' (GGC) Emergency Animal Medical fund and you stepped up in a big way.

She then caught a Flight to Freedom, thanks again to your generous donations, and landed in Idaho where dedicated staff and volunteers at Lake Lowell Animal Rescue continued her care.

Polly underwent two surgeries and laser treatment to try and repair the damage done by the embedded collar. She spent months recovering with a loving foster family.
