Story

Thanks to a grant from the Petfinder Foundation, my adoption fee is 75% off. So I'm only $81.25 to adopt. Someone did a breed test on one of the dogs in my group (not positive it was a sibling) and it came back with the top two breed border collie and lab. That explains my smartness and loveableness! The Survivor Litter — born brave, built for joy. Meet Bravery, Chance, Courage, Fighter, Grit, Hardy, Perseverance, Resolve, Soldier, Spirit, and Tenacity — a lively crew of heeler mix pups who have already shown the world what resilience looks like. With bright eyes, wagging tails, and hearts full of hope, they’re ready to start their next chapter. These pups are thriving — safe, warm, vaccinated, and discovering that every day brings something new to love. They’re a mix of sweetness, silliness, and steel spined charm, and they’re looking for families who will celebrate the strength and spirit behind their names. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Adopt a Survivor. Give them the joyful ending their story deserves. 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 ##2707945##

Border Collie

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Linda is a gentle, one-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 37–40 pounds. This sweet girl has a soft, sensitive soul and a story of resilience that makes her all the more special. She was found in an isolated area in heartbreaking condition—malnourished, covered in fleas and ticks, and struggling with painful skin issues. A kind-hearted gentleman discovered her curled up in a ditch at the end of his gravel drive. He took her in, got her the medical care she desperately needed, and showed her love and kindness until she was ready to find a rescue. Thanks to him, Linda got a second chance at life. Because of her past, Linda is very shy and submissive. It took her about six months in foster care before she felt safe enough to accept gentle pets without cowering. She’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place—but she’s making progress every day. One thing Linda does love is other dogs! She lights up when she has a canine friend around and happily follows their lead. She’ll need a home with a playful, confident dog who can help guide her and show her the ropes. Linda is housebroken and thrives in a consistent, calm environment. She’s not yet comfortable walking on a leash and will flatten to the ground when one is put on, so she’ll need a secure, fenced yard where she can safely explore and play. Linda is looking for a patient, compassionate home that will give her the time and understanding she needs to fully come out of her shell. In return, you’ll get to watch a truly special dog continue her journey from surviving to thriving. If you are interested, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Linda’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.

Holland

Border Collie

Male, Puppy

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Holland — the comeback kid with the wiggliest butt in town. This mediumâenergy, mediumâsizeâwhenâgrown pup is equal parts silly, sweet, and determined. Holland started life outdoors and had a rough go of it — malnourished, underweight, bowlegged, battling every worm imaginable, a double ear infection, a flea takeover, and the heartbreak of losing many siblings. But don’t let his past fool you. Holland decided he’s a thriving puppy era kind of guy now. Today, Holland is all about the good stuff: treats, playtime, and other dogs (seriously, he thinks every dog is his new best friend). He’s crate trained, and while potty training is still a work in progress, he’s trying hard and celebrates every success like he just won a gold medal. Holland’s vibe is “fun but not chaotic.” He’ll romp, wrestle, and trot, then plop for snuggles like he’s auditioning for a role as your favorite couch potato. He’s looking for a family who loves a charming, resilient, dogâloving boy with a big heart and an even bigger future. Holland survived the hard part — now he’s ready for the happy part. If interested, please complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Our $295 adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.

Story

Thanks to a grant from the Petfinder Foundation, my adoption fee is 75% off. So I'm only $50 to adopt. Hi, I’m Gabe! I’m a 1-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix, and shelter life has me feeling pretty anxious. I’m really hoping someone will bail me out so I can finally relax and let my true personality shine. Once I feel safe, I’m a very affectionate boy who loves being close to his person. I’ll do best in a calm home without other pets or small children, where I can settle in and build confidence at my own pace. With a little patience and love, I know I can be a loyal, loving companion.

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Keno, a 50 lb heeler mix or a cattle dog mix, we really aren't sure. He is very dog friendly, almost submissive even. He is almost a year old and is housebroke and crate trained. He does still have some puppy energy but not a lot. He would love a fenced in yard and probably another dog to play with. He likes when you pet him and give him attention. If you are interested, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Keno’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.
