Story
Meet Kendall & Kylie — Two Sweethearts on the Road to Recovery. Kendall and Kylie arrived at Polk County Humane Society after wandering together, clearly bonded and looking for safety. Unfortunately, both girls tested positive for heartworms—a serious but treatable condition. Thanks to our generous donors and veterinary partners, PCHS covers the full cost of their heartworm treatment. But we need adopters or fosters who can commit to the care these girls need during recovery. What Heartworm Treatment Involves: Oral medications administered at home. Veterinary visits for a series of injections. Strict activity restriction for several weeks, including crate rest or confinement to small areas indoors, leash-only potty breaks and outdoor time and no running, jumping, or rough play. This quiet recovery period is essential to ensure the heartworms are safely eliminated without complications. Are you the one who can help one or both of these girls transition from survivors to thrivers? 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 ##2470141##

His life started out a bit rocky as he was homeless in a tiny rural town in Texas. But, his luck changed when he landed in a great foster home that has taken care of his every need! Jet is a laid-back pup who enjoys a good play session with toys, but he’s just as happy relaxing by your side. He likes meeting new people and gets along well with other dogs, making him a great fit for many home types.

Story
Meet the snack puppies! These little cuties look like mini labs and also have some Heeler and terrier thrown in the mix. They’re 8 weeks old and 6-8 pounds, and we estimate they’ll be around (estimate here) full grown. They’re yet another accidental litter, but thankfully mom will be getting fixed with the owner and these pups will find great forever homes and all be fixed to stop the cycle of endless unwanted litters. They’re happy, playful puppies who adore attention. They have great temperaments and will make fantastic family companions! Girls: Nilla, Goldfish, Cheez-It, Pringle Boys: Funyan, Chex
