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
Just like in the Trolls movies, these puppies are learning that the world can be bright, kind, and full of friendship. This group of pups haven't been around many people, so they are pretty scared and nervous right now. Some are starting to open up, while others are still finding their rhythm. The staff is working to teach them that the world (and people!) can be a safe and loving place. These pups will need adopters who understand that every Troll learns to sing their own song in their own time. With love, consistency, and a little faith, their true colors are sure to shine. The breed mix is a guess and somewhat of a mystery. They are expected to be medium size dogs when grown based on the adult dogs in the group - around 25-35 lbs. 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 ##2632323##

Story
Wesson is the kind of dog who looks right into your heart and seems to understand exactly what you’re saying. At just a year old, he’s the perfect blend of youthful energy and eagertoplease sweetness. With his striking tricolor coat and bright, intelligent eyes, he turns heads everywhere he goes. Wesson came to us from the Bolivar Pound, and despite his uncertain start, he has shown nothing but friendliness and curiosity. He loves people, enjoys exploring new places, and is always ready for a walk, a game, or a cuddle—whatever you’re offering. His herdingbreed mix gives him a smart, attentive personality, and he’s the kind of dog who will thrive with someone who enjoys teaching, bonding, and having a loyal companion by their side. He’s young, trainable, and full of potential. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a yardplaying partner, or a best friend to share the couch with, Wesson is ready to be that dog.

Story
Blaze is a 7-year-old gentleman who is looking for a soft place to land. He is a very sweet dog who asks for very little but gives so much in return. He doesn't need a high-energy lifestyle; he just needs a family to love and a spot on the rug where he can keep an eye on his favorite humans.
