Story
Missy is a sweet, timid old gal who is looking for a home to retire in. She`s pretty timid, which is to be expected as her last owner had to surrender her due to no longer being able to care for her, after having Missy for 4 years. Missy still watches the door at her foster home, waiting for her previous person. Missy would do best in a calm environment where she can rebuild her trust. She loves to go on walks and spend time wandering the yard. She is slowly learning to trust and enjoy pets and attention from her fosters which include two kids. She tolerates the other dogs in her foster home very well but does not really want to play with them.She is still agile and able to navigate very well around her foster home including going up and down flights of stairs. She does well in her kennel and rarely if ever barks.Would you consider giving this gal a home where she can be loved and comfortable for the rest of her years?

Story
Hi, I'm Nora! I'm an 8 year old girl that is special needs. I have diabetes insipidus which you can read more about online but basically it is not treated with insulin. Currently I am on a medication for it twice daily and it seems to be helping. I'm a sweet girl but not a fan of other animals so I'm looking to be your one and only. What do you say? Take a senior girly home and love me forever.  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
🚨Sassy senior citizen alert🚨 Meet Snuggles Sassy Pants Age- 12 Breed- mini dachshund mix What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? Shuggles was the queen of her 🏰 until her elderly human passed away. She was brought to us to find her new castle Are you good with kids? What age ranges? Tiny humans are NOT her jam. They are far too busy and all up in her personal space. She would be fine with older children 12+ who understand that she’s a little old lady and she doesn’t want you to do anything other than serve her needs like the queen she is. She is. Are you good with other dogs? Yes. She couldn’t care less what other canine cocubines reside in her castle. She will absolutely view them as beneath her, but she will cohabitate with them just fine. Are you good with cats? Cats are a hard pass for her. Her ancestral roots are STRONG. She will hunt a cat 🐈 Are you housebroken? What is your current potty routine? Duh. No queen would ever potty in her castle. Gross. She will absolutely let you know when she has to go out and she does love going on potty walks. Do you like car rides? Yes!! She we’ll sit in her chariot just fine. Do you like walks? How are you on a leash? Yes. She will walk nicely and do her business. She is 12 so her long walking days are behind her. Do you like toys? What is your favorite toy? She does like toys and demands her daily Greenie to keep her fangs nice and clean. Do you know any commands/tricks? She’s not big on commands, she’d prefer you ask nicely and she will decide if your request is worth her effort….most the time it’s a no. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Describe your personality-Snuggles is basically your grumpy old grandma who smoked Pal Mals for 30 years and now just wants to live out her days in peace and quiet being left TF alone 😂 She is happy snoozing on her favorite recliner and watching Mash reruns with you all day. She would be a great companion for an elderly person who wants someone with them but not necessarily a total lap dog. She doesn’t love tons of attention but will sit next to you. She’s an opinionated old gal who knows what she wants in life. If you can respect that, she would be perfect for you!!! She is spayed , utd on all shots and just had a dental. Snuggles is fostered in Sioux City.
