Story

Who would want to adopt Taco?A sweet soul, this pup had nowhere to turn and was facing certain death by starvation or dehydration after being dumped on the reservation in the middle of nowhere. A mere skeleton, he was found in the nick of time.If only he could tell us how this could have possibly happened to him, maybe then we would have a clue.This little man is safe now, he has an amazing foster home in which he has made himself comfortable on the couch, dog beds and everything soft. He immediately rolled over on his back, happily wagging his tail and scratching back and forth.At some point in time, he clearly had a loving home. We can find that for him again with your help.He has a lot of weight to gain before he can be neutered, but in the meantime, if you are interested in this lovely three year old Pughuahua, fill out the adoption application via our website at www.denkaisanctuary.org/adopt#fyp#pug#chihuahualove#adoptdontshop ##2664095##

Story

Onyx AKA Bryant has a special talent: he can hear cheese no matter how far away it is. He’s full of personality. Onyx loves to play and go for walks, and while he hasn’t quite mastered fetch yet, he’s very enthusiastic about practicing! After a nice long stroll, he’s perfectly content curling up at your feet for a nap—stinky shoes and all. He walks well on a leash and politely sits at crossings. His favorite treats include bully sticks and bananas, and he’s always excited for snack time. Guard dog? Not even close. If someone comes near, Onyx’s go-to move is flopping over for as many belly rubs as possible. True to his herding roots, he likes to make sure all his people (especially kids) are accounted for before settling down by the door. Onyx is crate trained and does well with pottying outside when the door is left open. He has lived happily with three kids and would thrive in a home with another furry friend to keep him company ##2374931##

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

If your life needs a little more light, look no further than Summer. True to her name, this girl is all warmth and happiness. Summer is the kind of dog who wakes up with a wagging tail and spends the rest of the day looking for ways to show you how much she loves you. She is a "gentle soul" through and through. Whether she’s leaning against your legs for a scratch or resting her chin on your knee, her affection is quiet, steady, and incredibly sweet. She doesn't need a high-octane lifestyle—she just needs a family to call her 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 ##2653674##

Wiggle

Pembroke Welsh Corgi/Chihuahua

Female, 4 yrs 1 mo

Littleton, CO

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Meet Wiggle, a 4 year old Corgi Chihuahua mix with a big heart in a tiny 10 pound body. She is incredibly sweet and happiest when she’s curled up in your lap or relaxing next to your chair. Wiggle is potty trained and knows how to sit. She gets along well with small dogs and would truly love a playful companion. She’s ready to play and engage, even if her current housemates aren’t always as enthusiastic. She forms a strong bond with her person and feels most secure when someone is home with her, so she would do best in a house rather than an apartment and in a home where she isn’t left alone for long stretches. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who just wants to be close to her person, Wiggle could be your perfect match. Adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter Rabies Vaccination Distemper / Parvo Vaccines (includes series of 3 for puppies) Bordetella Microchip with prepaid lifetime registration Deworming ##2646447##

Boobah

Australian Shepherd

Male, 2 mos

Windsor, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats,

Story

Boobah is the fluffy little best friend you didn’t know you needed! He’s a mix of Australian Shepherd and cattle dog, he’s 11 weeks old and was going to be dropped off at the Humane Society because he’s slightly deaf! Of course we couldn’t have that, so a rescue volunteer brought him in to Big bones to find a family. He he’s a great dog, being partially deaf won’t stop him from having a fantastic life - he loves to follow you around for chores and checks in by looking up at you often (as any farm dog would) so he will be easy to train as he checks in naturally - and of course he’s cute as a button! If you think you’d like to meet him, please apply today!

Jacqui

Cattle Dog

Female, 1 yr

Fort Collins, CO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Jacqui — a high-energy sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This fun-loving girl is always ready for action and brings enthusiasm to everything she does. When she gets excited (which is often!), she can be a bit jumpy and mouthy, but it’s all part of her playful, spirited nature. With continued training and positive outlets for her energy, she’ll thrive and show just how wonderful she can be. Jacqui would do best in a home with kids 7 and older who can understand her bouncy play style. She’ll need a cat-free home, as she thinks chasing them is way too much fun. An active family who can provide plenty of exercise, structure, and love will be the perfect match for this sweetie pie. If you’re looking for a lively, affectionate companion who will keep life exciting and fill your home with joy, Jacqui is ready to meet you!
