Story
Peanut has a big dog personality and if he sees other dogs, he gets super excited, and the yipping sounds scary, but he just wants to play!! He's a nipper and he likes to jump on you out of excitement and although he LOVES kids, he should be in.a home with older kids Peanut is still young, and has plenty of energy to play and run.He has been known to be a runner- He will take off and think, it's a GAME and it will be hard to catch him, so careful at the doors nd fences ;) But smart sweet pup loves kisses and lay on your lap . He walks good on a leash i put 2 one on harness and collar since I don't want him to get loose. (harnesses are too easy to get out of, so a martingale collar is his best collar) He can upset a bigger or smaller dog if they don't have a tolerance for nippiness.In the face kinda of thing he loved to play and he runs super fast lol 😆 they would have to be extra careful that he never gets out of front.Door or takes off he laughing fast 😅 Poor little guy almost got run over on these big streets all alone, and we NEVER want that to happen to him again. So now you know more about the firecracker named Peanut. He is a doll!! ADOPT....DON'T SHOP!! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
👑 Meet Princess — Her Happily Ever After Is Finally Her Turn! 👑 Princess may be a little girl, but she has already been through a lot. This sweet 3-year-old Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix was dumped in a neighborhood and was fortunate enough to be found by a kind woman who took her in. Princess had her three babies on that wonderful lady's deck, and after coming into rescue, she devoted herself completely to raising them. Now her puppies are growing up and finding families of their own—and Princess's job as a mom is finally finished. ❤️ At just 8 pounds, Princess is a petite little girl with a sweet personality. She's quiet, rarely barks, and loves people. She gets along well with the dogs in her foster home and is crate trained. Her potty training is a little rusty. After spending an unknown amount of time living outside before rescue, Princess is still learning that inside is home. When she's not in her crate, she will use potty pads, so her forever family will need to be patient while she gets those skills polished up. 🥰 Princess does have a little Rat Terrier instinct that we need to respect. She will chase the resident cat when she sees one. Thankfully, she's never caught the cat, but because of this, a home without cats is strongly recommended. If there is a cat in the home, they would need to be kept safely separated. Princess is up to date on her vaccines, heartworm negative, and scheduled for her spay surgery on September 8th. 🩷 After spending her early years being someone's discarded dog and then giving everything she had to her puppies, Princess is ready for something she's never had before—a family that's hers forever. She doesn't need a palace. She doesn't need a fancy life. She just needs someone who will look at this tiny 8-pound girl and say: “You're home, Princess. You're not being left behind again.” 👑❤️ Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Do you know me? I was found wandering in the road and if some nice people wouldn't have saved me, I would have gotten hit. I am on stray hold until 09/10/26 and if my people aren't found then I will be available for adoption. Meet Mouse! Don't let her tiny size fool you - Mouse has a BIG personality! This little chihuahua comes with a bit of attitude and likes to take her time deciding who she approves of. Once she warms up, though, you'll see the sweet side hiding underneath all that sass. She's looking for someone patient enough to earn her trust and let her friendship happen on her terms.  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 ##2836887##

Story
Meet Rumi BC, a petite 6-year-old beige and white Chihuahua who's as sweet as they come! 🐕 I'm spayed, crate trained, and already comfortable around other dogs — plus I get along great with older children. I'm a gentle, cuddly girl who warms right up once I know you, though I'm a bit shy at first with new friends. If you're looking for a loving companion who's ready for her forever home, I'd love to meet you! 💕 I was found on the streets, so so skinny! I have LOVED living in my foster home, and do get nervous when they leave me. I want a family who can take me with you! I am waiting!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)
