Story
Meet Ruby! This sweet young lady is everything wrapped up in one adorable little package. Ruby was rescued from a hoarding situation where she lived with many dogs in a small apartment with very little human interaction. Because of that, the world is still new to her — but she’s learning every day that it can be a safe and happy place. Ruby bonds easily with other dogs and truly thrives with canine companionship. She looks to other dogs for comfort and guidance, and meeting new dog friends is her absolute favorite thing! A confident, friendly dog in her forever home would help her continue to blossom. If you’re looking for a dog who instantly bonds with people, Ruby may not be your girl just yet. She needs a patient, loving, and understanding home that will give her the time and space to build trust at her own pace. Once she feels safe, you’ll see her sweet and silly personality shine. Ruby may be slow to trust, but she’s incredibly observant and learns quickly. From chasing her own shadow to hopping up on her hind legs to catch a moth, her goofy curiosity and innocent spirit will absolutely melt your heart. With patience, love, and a cozy spot to curl up at night, Ruby will grow into the most loyal and devoted companion. Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Meet Checkers, a gentle soul who is looking for a quiet place to land. Checkers recently lost his lifelong companion, and while his world has changed quite a bit, his capacity for love hasn't. He is a sweet boy who is currently looking for a patient heart to help him find his confidence again. He can be a bit temperamental when he feels overwhelmed or pushed too fast. He’s not being naughty—he’s just a little guy in a big world who likes things done on his 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 ##2704339##

Story
Meet Teko — Soft as Mink, Precious as GoldTeko`s story began on a stormy night when this sweet 5-year-old Chihuahua was found wandering alone in the pouring rain, soaking wet and without a soul looking for him. Nobody ever came to claim him — but we think that just means he was waiting to find the right family.At 20 pounds, Teko is a sturdy little guy with the most luxuriously soft, thick fur you`ve ever touched — honestly, it feels like petting a mink. He`s as handsome as he is lovable.Teko is fully housetrained and an all-around easy houseguest. He tends to be a little reserved when he first meets you, but don`t let that fool you — once he decides you`re his person, he becomes your devoted shadow, following you from room to room and soaking up every moment together. He`s independent enough to handle alone time without anxiety, though he makes no secret of how thrilled he is when his favorite people walk through the door.One of Teko`s most charming qualities is the way he communicates. He rarely barks, but he does talk — in the most endearing vocalizations. You`ll find yourself talking right back.He loves going for walks and is an absolute gentleman on leash — no pulling, no reacting to other dogs or squirrels, just a confident, calm companion enjoying the world beside you. He needs a regular outlet for his playful side, including some off-leash time for zoomies and play — a fenced yard is a bonus but not a requirement. In his foster home with big dogs, Teko holds his own beautifully, playing confidently with dogs many times his size. He is currently living with another Chihuahua and, while they occasionally compete for the spotlight (can you blame them?), he is usually gentle and kind with his smaller housemate.Teko is neutered, up to date on all vaccines, and heartworm negative. He is not destructive and has no need to be crated, though he is perfectly comfortable in a pen when needed. He also travels beautifully in the car, making him an ideal companion for adventures big and small.Teko has not yet been tested with cats or young children — we will update his profile as we learn more!Teko would do well in a home with:-Dogs of any size-Adults or families who will appreciate his calm, soulful nature-Someone who loves a close companion who won`t leave their side-Active folks who enjoy daily walks or longer hikes— or homebodies who just want a loyal couch companion but can give
