Story
Hi, I’m Sugar — a spicy little 3-year-old Chihuahua with a big heart and even bigger personality! 🐾 I’m loyal to the core and will be your tiny shadow once we bond. I love love love my human and will follow you everywhere (yes, even the bathroom 🚪🐶). I'm super cuddly, nap like a champ, and my favorite place to snooze is burrowed under the covers or curled up in your bed — crates are not my thing, especially overnight. I’m great with kids, but not a fan of other pets. I like being your one and only! I’m very well-behaved when left home alone — no chewing, no drama — just make sure the trash can has a lid. Potty-wise, I must have my two walks a day, but I do prefer a puppy pad for #2 (hey, a guy's gotta have his routine). Treats? I’m into chicken and rice, peanut butter, and anything you cook with love. 💛 If you’re looking for a devoted little dude who will love you fiercely and protect you always, I’m your guy. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Baby Bat embodies the personality, uniqueness and likeness of the Batman. First, he works alone. No sidekicks or partners. He prefers solitude and his space. Baby Bat has lived with his foster and her dog pack for 5 years, he gets along with them but tolerates them at most. He would do well in a home where he is the only dog, no children, and adults only. Next, Baby Bat is an apex predator. Which means he needs his sleep and food and not to be interrupted or coddled when given either. Baby Bat is not a lap or cuddly dog. Finally, did we mention Baby Bat is a Chihuahua mix? That's a really important detail! Baby Bat is a great and loyal dog seeking a great family to adopt him! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Now, don't tell me you don't remember Fred and Ginger, his ginger haired dance partner ;) If you are a millennial you may not but the REST of us do!! SO, where was I?? Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are such awesome namesakes for us... we are ATTACHED at the hip to each other and we operate in dance like moves when we are together.... so YES we are a BONDED pair of cuties!! We are lanky chis, most likely Min Pin/Chi mixes with the long and elegant legs and sweet, playful personalities. Ginger is more reserved and shy than her boyfriend Fred. They need to stay in TX because transport would be hard on them. So you have definitely learned some about us... we are young and teeny weeny :) yes that is a word!! We are learning all the home stuff, like leash training, crate and house training and we have excelled at all!! So if you are looking for a lap pup and one that will be one someday.. we are YOUR PUPS!!! Adopt us together and get double the love for LIFE!!! Local adoption only, together $400 (in TX)

Story
Meet Amber & Nibblett – Two Texas Sweethearts Looking for Their Forever Homes! ���� Found trotting side-by-side down a country road in Texas, these two adorable girls are as sweet as a sunset and twice as charming. Though they’re bonded buddies, they’re also confident enough to thrive separately in loving homes. Amber is a stunning 1-year-old chocolate-colored cattle dog mix with mesmerizing amber eyes to match her name. She is smart, loyal, and loves a good game of fetch or a squeaky toy to keep her entertained. Whether she’s playing outside or lounging after a walk, Amber is always ready to be your shadow and steal your heart. Nibblett, a Cream Puff (just look at her and you’ll see why we call her that!) is a dainty, 8 pound chihuahua with adorable caramel-colored markings and a big personality packed into a tiny body. She’s spunky, curious, and the ultimate lap dog once playtime is over. She is also about a year old. Both girls are housebroken, crate trained, and know basic commands – in other words, total pros! They’re incredibly friendly, love human company, and are great with routine. When you’re not around, they entertain each other with toys and tail wags, making them a perfect fit for someone with a busy schedule. Whether adopted together or separately, Amber and Nibblett are ready to bring love, laughter, and loyalty into your life. Could one (or both!) of these lovely ladies be your next best friend :) Local adoption is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hi, I'm Rubie! The shelter isn't sure on what I'm mixed with but I'm 27 lbs so the perfect size. I get along with other dogs and I am a friendly girl! I was found as a stray so I'm hoping for my second chance at a life. 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 ##2436288##

Story
Meet Moki!
Age: 8 years | Weight: 11 pounds | Breed: Terrier MixMoki is a short and spunky little guy with a big personality! Despite his age, he’s full of energy and loves to play—his tail is always wagging! He’s a sweet, affectionate companion who enjoys cuddles and companionship.Moki has done well with my dog-savvy cats, mostly ignoring them, and gets along great with other dogs. He’s been adjusting nicely, and while he initially marked a bit when he first moved in, he’s now settled and housetrained.He can be a bit wary of new people at first and may bark at strangers, but he quickly warms up and shows his friendly side. Moki even goes to work with me, proving he’s adaptable and well-behaved on the go!If you’re looking for a lively, loving, and personality-packed little buddy, Moki might be the perfect fit!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.
