Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To put it simply, Zip is joy wearing canine clothing. He is the happiest, bounciest dog and doesn’t let anything stop him! He is probably around 6 months old and is could be a Bernese Mountain Dog mixed with something, possibly Border Collie. He will likely be a large adult and could be money well spent on a doggie DNA test!    Zip has only a very vague concept of personal space, and while he isn’t concerned with his lack of knowledge, anyone with a lap should be prepared for it to be occupied. He is highly food motivated, so training should be a breeze!   Zip enjoys following you around the house, belly rubs, and stealing your bath mat. He especially likes balls and will happily play fetch with himself. He is mostly house trained with a dog door, is good in the crate, and while he does have some separation anxiety, it may go away once he feels comfortable and secure in his new home.   If you’re looking for a big, social, goofy, doofus of a dog to hang out with, come meet Zip, he loves to make new friends!   Zip's adoption fee is $300 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccines and preventatives.  Last Hope requires that adopters have a history of keeping previous pets; altered, kept current on vaccines/annual vet care and as indoor pets.  Our adoption process includes a vet history check and a home visit.  Please submit an adoption application at AdoptHope.org if you would like to meet Zip!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 3, 2026, 4:40 pm

Story
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 reserve me for an appointment. 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 St. Louis areas twice monthly. 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. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop ##2767463##

Story
Meet Diamond! Diamond is a playful Border Collie/pitbull mix puppy. She is almost a year old, weighs just 60 to 70 pounds, and has her puppy shots and rabies up to date. Diamond gets along very well with other dogs and older kids; she hasn't been around little kids very much, but has been gentle around them. She behaves around kittens, too! Diamond is partially kennel-trained, and partially house-broken. With consistent training, she will be trained in no time! Diamond has an adventurous, curious nature, but loves to snuggle and act goofy, too! Diamond is also very alert in her surroundings, and protective of her people. She loves to meet others, play outside, and is a sweet, affectionate puppy.
