Story
Hi, I’m Gordon! I came to the shelter with my 11 siblings (yes… all 11 of them!), and we were all black-and-white spotted like little Holstein cows. We arrived when we were just 6 weeks old, and now my brother Proctor and I are the last two still waiting—almost 7 months old and hoping our turn is coming soon. Growing up in a shelter hasn’t been easy, but it hasn’t stopped me from being a great pup. I walk nicely on a leash, know how to sit, and get along wonderfully with other animals and kids. I’m the perfect mix of calm and playful, and all I really want is love, affection, and a place to finally call home. If you're interested in adopting one, please fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve an appointment time. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure the puppy 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! #adoptdontshop ##2508484##

Story
I'm Ruby. I'm a great gal. I was living with my one and only person when he got sick and had to go to a nursing home. I don't know why those pesky nursing homes won't allow dogs! Anyway, that left me homeless and afraid. I was kept inside most of the time, so I will need time to adjust to a normal life - but if you'll give me a chance, I promise I will be worth it. 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.
