Story

Axis arrives in Colorado Saturday 2/7/2026 and needs a committed foster home or adopter to welcome her! Axis and her brother Chaos had to leave their home because... politely put, they don't do well with chickens (please research what Dachshund's were originally bred for- the instinct is strong in these two). Axis is super affectionate, loves to be in your lap and loved on. She loves to play and run through tunnels with her brother and the other dogs but let's be clear- she's the boss. As such, she chooses to be more mouthy during play. Good with other dogs (wants to play) and kids! Axis will hold potty until outside and is really quiet! Axis is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring her up and into their home! ***Axis is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them. The adoption fee does not include the transport fee (usually $125-200/dog).*** Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado. We primarily rescue dogs off the streets and from kill shelters in San Antonio. ##2649708##

Story

Q LOVEs: couch buddy, walk on leash, hike off leash, returns when called, car rides, dog parks, potty trained, all shots current, healthy, 17lb, 10yrs He came to me 2yrs ago, was considered "challenging dog" - I took him bc I'm a vanlifer and could provide time/energy to train him. We've done well, now ready for a home that can give him a bit more space than a van (apt/house both are great) CURRENT NEEDS: some body handling sensitivity remains. For washing him, walk in shower is great. He doesn't like nail trims and tooth brushing, but loves dental treats! I'm happy to share all I've learned. He will do amazing w someone who is willing to build trust and continue train. TRANSPARENCY: he has bit me in very early stage bc I tried to bathe him w/o proper knowledge. He now enjoys warm shower on his body bc I educated myself. It's often the humans, not the dogs!

Aurora, CO

Story

Nora was found as a stray and is an 8-year-old sweetheart who's all about love and affection. She enjoys being close to her people, soaking up pets, and sharing quiet, happy moments. Gentle, loving, and easygoing, Nora would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a calm, affectionate friend to call their own. 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 ##2620129##

Story

Meet Cleo the Chi Weenie! She is still a young pup so please only apply if you are ready for the training required and long term commitment Her and our other dog Sweet Potato are from the same hoarder which means they are use to living with a lot of other dogs in a nasty house where they have never been walked on a leash or been outside before. They need someone that is patience with them while they learn new things and preferably have another dog their own size in their home that can teach them things and be their comfort Right now she is a pretty scared and nervous girl - we will update her bio as she settles into her foster home. We do not recommend young kids in the home, she would need a quiet environment. Still gaging how she is but large dogs scare her right now All POSO Dogs come with: - Spayed/Neutered - Basic Shots (age appropriate) - Fecal and 4dx testing - other medical concerns addressed before adoption - 2 Free one on one dog training sessions with a professional dog trainer - Training received in foster home - Basic things like some food, treats, leash and collar - PDFs of training material and local coupons and dog sitter recommendations

Story

Meet Sutton, a sweet and soulful pup who is the perfect mix of fun-loving puppy and champion-level cuddler. Sutton is looking for a forever-home where he can settle in for all the belly rubs, fetch and naps on the couch! While he might play a little hard to get at first, this shy guy warms up quickly, trading his shyness for tail wags and a spot on your lap. He plays well with other dogs and is gentle and patient with kids, making him the perfect plus-one for any family adventure. When he isn’t busy being a professional snuggler, Sutton is hard at work mastering his manners. He’s already a champion sleeper, sleeping through the night. He’s also almost fully-house trained and working on tackling crate training and basic commands. ##2637538##

Story

Meet Corndog — your future shadow, snuggle buddy, and sunshine enthusiast! Corndog is a 1.5-year-old dachshund with a huge personality packed into a perfectly small body. He’s full of spunk, endlessly loving, and always ready to make you laugh with his charm. He’s fully potty trained, housebroken, and sleeps through the night like a champ. Corndog knows how to sit for treats (very important skill!) and will happily turn into a lap dog at any given opportunity—especially if snuggles or kisses are involved. He absolutely loves giving and receiving affection and bonds deeply with his people. This little guy has lots of energy and would thrive in a home with a backyard where he can run around, explore, and sunbathe to his heart’s content. He truly enjoys being outside and soaking up the warmth. Corndog can get a bit anxious when his humans leave the house, but with a frozen chew toy and some reassurance, he settles down nicely. He just loves being close to his people and wants to feel safe and secure. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will keep you company, warm your lap, and fill your home with love (and kisses), Corndog might just be your perfect match! ##2653848##
