Story
Guito is a sweet little guy whose world was turned upside down.After spending the last four years in a home, Guito recently found himself back at Boone Area Humane Society when his family made the difficult decision to return him. After losing his canine companion, Guito struggled with the change and began barking more than he had before. While we know this has been a confusing time for him, one thing is abundantly clear—this little dog has so much love left to give.Guito absolutely adores people. He is affectionate, gentle, and happiest when he's close to his humans. Like many small dogs, the shelter environment is overwhelming for him, and we'd love to see him back in the comfort of a home as soon as possible.When Guito arrived back at the shelter, his coat needed a little TLC. He had several mats that have since been carefully removed by our staff, and he's feeling much more comfortable. He's currently waiting for his rabies vaccine, but he's available through our foster-to-adopt program so he doesn't have to spend any more time in the shelter than necessary.Guito is looking for a family who understands that life can be full of changes and is willing to give him the patience, stability, and love he deserves. In return, he'll reward you with endless affection and loyal companionship.If you're ready to give this deserving little guy the happy ending he's been waiting for, Guito can't wait to meet you.

  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 ##2815461##

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)
