Story
When I was found, I was bravely clinging to motherhood under a blazing summer sun, alone and exhausted - and with nine hungry mouths depending on me. I was dumped in dangerous heat, but I resolved to protect my babies and we made it through until help could arrive. Even with that awful way I was treated, I'm a good girl. I'm  just looking for a another chance at a good life. Are you the one that can give me that chance? 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 ##2476188##

Story
Meet Chico, a neutered male lab/pit mix that is 2-4 yrs old and weighs 70 lbs.Chico is friendly, but he is very hyper. He knows some commands but will knock people down. He will need work on walking on a leash.Chico is kennel trained but does tear them up if he is left alone too long, as he does have separation anxiety. He has been around children, but due to his high energy, older children would probably be best. He plays with other dogs but tends to get rough so dogs his size would probably be best. He has been around cats and will chase for fun ##2563635##

Story
We are the wildlings! Wolf, Coyote, Fox and Dingo. We are clearly smart as a whip, but we weren't socialized quite as much as we should've been. Rest assured, there is still time. If you have the patience, you'll see that we really want to trust and love. We are guessed to be mix of Kelpie and Lab. Those ears! We are not aggressive, just scared but willing to take a treat - so we know the good things in life already. With time and patience, we are already learning that the world isn't so scary - and that humans can be kind, predictable and full of treats. Are you the human to show me the ropes?
