Polar Anatolian Shepherd Bedford Hills, NY

Meet Polar, the gentle soul with a heart as vast as the Arctic. This shy shepherd mix is about 18 months old, 78 pounds and has weathered life's storms but still dreams of finding his forever home. Despite his initial hesitation, once Polar feels the warmth of a caring touch, he blossoms into a loyal companion, dedicated to those who show him kindness.

Polar isn't just a lone wolf – he's a social butterfly when it comes to furry friends, getting along famously with dogs big and small. Despite his shy nature around people, Polar's confidence shines through when he's surrounded by his canine companions, he loves his doggie foster siblings and has learned a lot from them.

This intelligent shepherd mix has already mastered the art of sitting and is eagerly soaking up more knowledge, proving himself to be a quick learner. He’s fully housetrained and whether he's strolling through the neighborhood or embarking on outdoor adventures, Polar's love for walks knows no bounds.

But don't let his energetic side fool you – Polar also knows the importance of relaxation. When it's time to unwind, he's a certified couch potato, happy to snuggle up beside you for some quality downtime. But when the call of the wild beckons, Polar is ready to dash and dart, reveling in the joy of freedom as he races around with unbridled enthusiasm.

With patience and love, Polar is poised to transform into the magnificent dog he's meant to be. Will you be the one to give Polar the love and support he deserves, guiding him on his journey to becoming a cherished member of your family?


Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit.

Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog.

We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org)

Thanks so much.
