Story
  Lilly loves the company of people! Percolating with typical puppy energy at just a year old, she loves going on walks, chewing on her bones, and playing fetch. But her absolute favorite game is playing tug and she will rope you in for an energetic round any chance she gets! Lilly can feel uncertain around other dogs so she needs to be the only pup in the house, but she has been through lots of training and and can’t wait to show you how well she walks in heel. When it comes time to sniff, she knows 'free' and loves to explore fields and tall grassy areas where she often finds a nice long stick to claim as her own hidden treasure to carry around proudly. She knows all of her commands and is eager for someone willing to keep up with her training to keep her mentally and physically stimulated. She would do best in a home where someone is around frequently and due to her puppy energy, would prefer the company of older kiddos.  Lilly can be a bit timid at first, but offer her a treat and she'll be your best friend forever! Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask that you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application received in the order they're submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). If your home sounds like a good match for you and the pet, we will connect you with our dogs' foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a 'meet and greet' is set up. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to finalize the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.  The adoption fee for this pet is $300.  Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.

Story
Aria is the sweetest, most loyal dog you will ever meet. She has been my shadow since I rescued her from family that wasn't giving her the care she needed and deserved. I struggle with mental health issues so I have been trying to rehome her for a couple of months because she deserves a wonderful home that has the time for her. She goes to doggy daycare twice a week and is wonderful while there. She has to play with the littles because the big zoomie dogs give her anxiety and she turns into the weird kid in the corner. At home she loves to eat on her snuffle-mat and adored my ex's cat. She's a fan of (literally) sticking her nose where it doesn't belong and will regularly have a slightly scraped nose. Doesn't pull on leash and loves snifaries. A perfect home for her would be with another pet who is calm, patient, but also likes to run around and play. She needs confident owners who can teach her how to dog a bit better and improve her confidence but mainly who can always love her.

Story
Oaky is a 7 year old neutered GSD. He’s a very obedient, friendly, and energetic dog who unfortunately needs to be an only dog as he does not get along well with canine roommates. He’s good with cats and people and would do great as an only dog with active parents!    For more information, contact 978-319-3244 or ryan.d.jallad@gmail.com.     This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs.

Story
  Thriving in his foster home, 2-year-old Tucker is 50 pounds worth of sweetness and friendliness. The consummate cuddler, loving and loyal, he’s happiest being where his fosters are and always follows them around like a faithful doggy shadow. He loves snuggling with them, resting his head on them and turning over for belly rubs as much as he loves hiding his toys, especially squeaky toys, chewing on bones and playing tug-o-war with a rope. Extremely energetic, Tucker also loves spending as much time as possible outside in the yard, running and chasing “critters” and going for walks, honing his leash skills along the way. Good with other dogs and with children, motivated by food, toys and love, he currently knows “come,” “sit” and “no,” and accepts all treats gently, but he’s capable of escaping through an open door very quickly. Never crated and almost fully house-trained to a doggy door, Tucker will thrive in an active home, preferably with a securely fenced yard and another canine companion, that will complete his training, including his commands, and keep him in cuddles fur-ever. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home.

Story
  Gregarious Gimlet, who’s between 1 and 2 years young, puts all of her fit 45 pounds into LOVING! Sweet and social, she loves snuggling with her fosters, resting her head on them, turning over for tummy rubs, and giving them copious kisses and hugs. Extremely energetic and always eager to play wrestle with her equally energetic doggy foster friend, she’s also eager to meet and engage with as many other dogs as possible. Burning off some of her excess energy by going for walks, playing with toys, especially rope toys, and chewing on bones, Gimlet is still learning about boundaries and polishing her puppylike manners. Motivated by food, toys and love, she currently knows “sit,” likes and accepts all treats gently, is almost fully leash and crate-trained, and uses a doggy door. Now all this sociable sweetheart needs is a patient home, perhaps with another doggy playmate, to perfect her manners, complete her training, including her commands, and keep her both active and adored fur-ever. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home.

Nala is a very sweet girl who was abandoned with me by an ex-coworker. She is 2 years old, and up to date on shots and fixed. She would do best with a family who will be able to spend time with her (I work 9/10 hours a day and cant give her the attention she deserves). She does get along with some dogs if she has time to adapt to them. She loves my parents dog, but otherwise is scared of them as she grew up with other mean dogs. She loves cuddles and playing with water. She gets along with kids but tends to jump up when she gets excited, and is very large. She would do best with a loving family who has time to train and spend time with her.

Story
Chief German Shepherd Mix Male 8 years old Hi! I’m Chief. I’m a big, big boy but inside I’m a little dog who is timid and ready for a loving home to help me come out of my shell. Is that you? I’m a guy who loves to be outside. Summer or winter, I don’t mind as long as I can relax in a private yard with a high fence. Have you ever laid outside in the sun? It’s pure magic and it’s when I let myself truly relax. Want to hang outside on a hammock and I’ll lie underneath near you? I’ve met other dogs (big and small) and kids, and so far they’ve all been pretty scary for me but I know to give them space. The PawsCo training director gives me yummy chicken while I meet new dogs and kids and it doesn't seem so scary after a while. I guess I just need some time to figure out that life isn’t scary anymore and that people truly want to love me. I’m a really good boy who is looking for a forever home to finally feel love and relax. If you think that’s you, please fill out an application here: pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process

Meet Charlie, a remarkable companion with a lot to offer! This young, handsome, and energetic pup has a real zest for life. Charlie adores his people, squeaky toys, and, above all, chicken! We suggest lots of indestructable toys and puzzles to keep his mind busy when he's alone. He may benefit from crate training and would thrive with someone who has time to help him adjust to his new space and environment. He is looking for a home without small children and as the sole animal in the household.April 28, 2024, 11:15 pm

Story
Hello there, I'm Rubi. My mom was full Belgian Malinois and my dad was half Golden Retriever and half Lab! I found myself at the shelter because my sister and I like to chase chickens. Life in the shelter is okay, but I dream of a home where I can show my sweet and friendly nature. I'm a bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, we'll be best friends. I'm hoping for a patient person who will give me time to come out of my shell. I promise, I'm worth it. With a little love and patience, I know I can be the perfect companion. Adopt me and let's make beautiful memories together. 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 request an appointment to meet me. 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. No need to call to find out about me, you can ask questions on the application or email questions to info@polkcountyhumanesociety.org. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and Minneapolis, MN areas twice a month. 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 and we will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veteinarian ($35). Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! ##2032133##
