š¾Polloš¾
Pollo
Meet Pollo, an extraordinarily intelligent and energetic boy with a heart full of love! When Pollo first arrived at FMAR as a stray over two years ago, he was so skinny you could see his ribs. But now, he's thriving and ready to find his forever home.
Originally thought to be a Pit Bull Terrier mix, a DNA test revealed Pollo's true lineage. In the sunlight, his Rottweiler coloring shines through. Pollo is:
52% Rottweiler
27% American Pit Bull Terrier
16% American Staffordshire Terrier
3% American Bulldog
Pollo has dreams of becoming an agility dogāhe has a blast when volunteers set up an obstacle course, and you should see how high he can jump over a hurdle! He also enjoys relaxing in the yard and taking it easy. Although he can be a little nervous when meeting new people, treats quickly win him over, making him your best friend in no time.
Pollo is looking for an experienced owner who can challenge his brain and body every day. He loves the mental stimulation of eating meals from a Kong Wobbler. Because of his high energy, Pollo would do best in a home with older children, as his enthusiasm might be too much for some families. But with all that energy comes a whole lot of LOVE!
If youāre ready for a loyal and loving companion who will keep you on your toes, Pollo is the perfect match for you!š¾ā°ļø
š¾Mollyš¾
Molly
Meet Molly, an adorable and affectionate girl whoās ready to steal your heart! Molly came to FMAR as an owner surrender, and while she might seem a bit shy when you first meet her, she quickly comes out of her shell to show just how loving and happy she really is.
Molly loves going for walks, running in the yard, and most of all, being around people. Sheās full of sweetness but is a little too interested in cats to live with them. Since Molly didnāt have much opportunity to play with other dogs in her previous home, sheāll need a slow and calm introduction if you have another pup.
If youāre looking for a sweet and loyal companion, come meet Mollyāsheās ready to be your new best friend!š¾š

Gunner
Hi there! Are you looking for a new friend whoās content just hanging out with you? Well, look no furtherāhere I am!
My name is Gunner! Just one look into my soulful eyes, and youāre sure to fall in love. I adore everyone I meet, but I have to admit, Iām not the biggest fan of other dogs when I'm out on a walk. Instead of dog parks or doggy daycare, Iād much prefer going on hikes, taking walks, and enjoying some backyard playtime.
If you have room in your heart and home for me, Iām waiting to meet you! Letās start our new adventure together! š¾ā¤ļø
