HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please email meetme@arl-iowa.org.---- Shy pup who may need extra time to warm up to new people and things; will likely open up in a home environment with patience and time and may prefer a calm, quiet home - Once she feels comfortable, she loves spending time with people - Has been working on confidence-building and relationship-building, and we have seen improvements; would benefit from a family who can continue working with her on these things - Walks nicely on a leash - Doing well with potty training in her foster home and has only had a few accidents; may still need a little help in her new home to get her all the way there - Has been fantastic with kids (school-age and teens) in her foster home - Has been doing well with the dogs in her foster home now that she feels comfortable with them; at first she was concerned about them being around her food, but that anxiety and guarding lessened after about a week; will likely need time to adjust to new dogs, and management of food (such as feeding in different rooms) may be be needed until she has time to form relationships (dog intro recommended) - Loves the cat in her foster home, and they often cuddle together All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Tri Color Age: 1yrs 1mths 1wks

Story
I'm a lucky dog and smart, too! I was chosen to go to college with the MSU Companion Animal students at MSU and I graduated! I spent 10 weeks learning great stuff with the students and now I'm ready for a real job - like loving you! I learn quickly, already know commands and I'm house trained. I'd love to have an active family and a job to do - just a sling care of you would be an honor. Don't you want to meet me? 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 ##2424236##

Story
If you’re looking for something sweet without the sugar crash, Oreo is your guy! Just like his namesake, he’s a classic favorite who is impossible to resist. Oreo is a "very sweet" dog who believes that life is better when it’s shared with a best friend. He’s the kind of dog who brings a smile to everyone’s face just by walking into the room.

Story
Wesson is the kind of dog who looks right into your heart and seems to understand exactly what you’re saying. At just a year old, he’s the perfect blend of youthful energy and eagertoplease sweetness. With his striking tricolor coat and bright, intelligent eyes, he turns heads everywhere he goes. Wesson came to us from the Bolivar Pound, and despite his uncertain start, he has shown nothing but friendliness and curiosity. He loves people, enjoys exploring new places, and is always ready for a walk, a game, or a cuddle—whatever you’re offering. His herdingbreed mix gives him a smart, attentive personality, and he’s the kind of dog who will thrive with someone who enjoys teaching, bonding, and having a loyal companion by their side. He’s young, trainable, and full of potential. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a yardplaying partner, or a best friend to share the couch with, Wesson is ready to be that dog.

Story
Now, before we go any further into my story.... let me warn you...it contains heartache and then some puppies, and fear and even some hopelessness. We do go to the top of the mountain as well, so hold in for the wild ride of my life:) maybe you will get to be my happily ever after.... So I was born a poor border collie mixed pup, in the miserable heat, in a disgusting backyard. To a mama that could have been so beautiful, if she had been brushed and cared for.... Fast forward thru almost 4 YEARS of misery and puppies, we were saved!!! I was saved with 9 newborn puppies and my sister/daughter/ cousin, etccc Princess and HER 9 PUPPIES TOO! We landed safe and sound at the rescue! We are now gorgeous girls and all pups grown and adopted! Now its time for me!! I am a single gal, and really don't like other dogs in my business. I want to be the Queen of the house :D Adopt me and I will fill YOUR home with my love and devotion. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
