My name is Butterball!

Hi there, I'm Butterball. I am a 3 year old Border Terrier mix. I may be a bit shy at first (as prior to my arrival here I was skittish), but give me a moment and my sweet nature will shine through. I'm independent, so I don't mind if you're busy. I'll entertain myself with toys, sqeaker toys are my favorite! I'm quite smart you see. I can solve problems and figure out things faster than most of my fellow residents here. I may not be the first one to greet you, but I promise, once I warm up to you, I'll be your loyal companion. Adopting me means you're not just getting a pet, you're gaining a friend who'll be there for you, always ready to lend an ear or a paw when you need it.

If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to request an appointment to meet me. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come.

Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and Minneapolis, MN areas twice a month. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual and we will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veteinarian ($35). Going that last mile home for our sweet pets!
