Story
This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. Please contact the email listed in this post. For more information about Draco, please contact: Mandi at 513-259-5305 or Kevin at 865-368-8905 Meet Draco: With a very heavy heart, we are looking to rehome our 5 y/o male GS. He is such a good boy but is not adapting well in a new home with children.  He has extensive behavioral training and is e-collar trained. He is a curious, outgoing, silly, and loveable boy. He loves his stuffed animals and makes it his mission to hunt down and eliminate their squeakers. Fetch of any sort; frisbees, balls, sticks - he would win a gold medal. He is overly curious when he spots a rabbit or squirrel. He is fully house trained but talks back when created or secluded in any way. Draco seems to do well with other animals. He does not like motorcycles, or seeing other animals on the television. He also does not like his paws touched or sudden movements. He loves to be outdoors and to go on walks or hikes, but the car ride to and from can cause a bit of anxiety, via excessive whining.   He needs a home without kids where he will continue to be well spoiled and stimulated. With someone who is knowledgeable and well equipped to handle the GS breed. He needs a yard to run in and to be given tasks. I have no doubt he will thrive in the right environment.   April 18, 2026, 4:01 pm

Story
  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Sally #4 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Sally #4 | 7 years | German Shepherd mix with a soft side Sally is a 7-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing about 65 pounds with beautiful brown-and-black coloring and a heart that truly loves her people. She is affectionate, sweet, and enjoys being close to her humans—belly rubs are a favorite, and she is always happy to curl up for cuddles once she feels comfortable. While she can be a bit shy and nervous at first, she warms up with patience and consistency and shows a loyal, protective side to those she trusts. Sally is fully house trained and uses a doggie door. She is comfortable being left alone for 6–8 hours with other dogs in the house and will settle after some initial barking at outside noises, which is easily redirected with commands. Crate training is going great—she goes in willingly, sleeps through the night, and often chooses her kennel for daytime naps. She knows several basic commands, including come, sit, stay, no, and wait, and responds well to structure and clear boundaries. On leash, Sally may bark or react when she sees other dogs or wheeled objects, though she is easily redirected. She enjoys walks overall, as well as car rides, toys, chewing bones, and playing with her stuffies. Around other dogs, she does best with dogs her own size and has successfully bonded with a same-size dog in her foster home with slow introduction.  Sally has not yet been tested with cats or children. She has no preference for men or women and truly loves people. Her energy level falls between medium and high—she enjoys daily activity and playtime but is also able to relax and settle when it is time to unwind. Her ideal home is a patient, active family with strong leadership who will give her time to build trust and confidence. Sally would thrive in a stable, loving home committed to helping her feel safe and secure for the long term.     If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's 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 scheduled. 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 complete 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 $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here .

Story
  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Chili #1 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails).   Chili | 8-year-old Collie/German Shepherd mix | Gentle soul with a soft spot for chin scratches Chili is a sweet, mature lady who’s ready to settle into a calm, loving home where she can truly relax and be herself. At 8 years old, this Collie/German Shepherd mix brings a lovely balance of medium energy and laid-back companionship—she enjoys leisurely walks with plenty of time to sniff, a good car ride, and then curling up nearby for some quiet time. She’s house trained with a consistent routine, sleeps well through the night, and has done just fine when left home alone for short periods, especially with another dog around. Chili is also highly food motivated, knows “wait,” and responds well to gentle structure and boundaries. While she’s still getting the hang of leash walking, Chili is making great progress and seems to enjoy taking in the world at her own pace. She currently lives with a larger dog and does well overall, though she can be a bit selective with other dogs—sometimes curious, sometimes unsure—so slow introductions are important. She has shown some resource guarding with favorite spots and toys, and can be a little protective of her space, so a home that understands and respects her boundaries will help her continue to feel secure. Because of this, she may do best as the only dog or with a similarly sized, easygoing companion. Chili can be shy and occasionally startled by sudden movement, but she is incredibly sweet with the people she trusts and absolutely melts for gentle ear rubs and chin scratches. She enjoys being brushed, prefers crunchy treats, and has a quiet, observant nature—unless, of course, there’s a squirrel or rabbit to keep an eye on. Her ideal home is a quieter environment with patient adopters who will give her time to adjust and continue building her confidence. While her past is unknown, she does have some dental disease that will need attention, and ongoing care will help keep her feeling her best. For someone looking for a loyal, low-key companion with a tender heart, Chili could be the perfect match.   If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth.

Hi, I'm Elsa! I’m a fun-loving 3-year-old mixed breed with tons of energy and a big heart! Playing is my favorite thing—especially a good game of fetch or tug-o-war. I’d love to be your one-and-only pet, but I do great with kids and would be thrilled to have some human playmates. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful best friend, I’m your girl! 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 ##2177060##

Hi, I'm Romper! I'm a 2 year old German Shepherd mix with tons of life! I showed up at my foster's house a few months ago and I was really skinny, actually emaciated. I was missing patches of hair and covered in fleas and ticks. Thankfully, my foster got me all cleane dup and is now helping me find my forever home. I'm an energetic girl and I love toys (especially chew toys and tug-o-war). Even though I'm 50 lbs- I'm still a lap dog lol. I'm super smart and pick up on things quickly. I do great with other dogs, cats, and even goats (no chickens though!)  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.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. AdoptaGSD.org   Please consider that some of these dogs have been abandoned or ignored by their previous owners, having little interaction with someone who cares about them. When adopted, they will need time to adjust to the changes in their life. Foster says..Sweet, soulful, and just a little spicy in the puppy way. Bonnie is cautious with strangers at first, but give her a minute and she’ll be right by your side (literally… she will be your shadow, so watch your step ). She does great in a crate, gets along with dogs of all sizes. When she gets really excited? Cue the zoomies Fair warning: Bonnie is a professional kisser and is still learning puppy manners like not jumping or being mouthy—because yes, she is very much a puppy. Her soft eyes will absolutely stare into your soul, and while she’s curious about new things, she’s polite enough to walk away if she’s unsure. Overall, she’s a sweet, gentle, learning-as-she-goes kind of girl—and we’re loving every minute getting to know her. Whelped approximately Sept 1 2025. Adoption fee $450.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

When adopted, they will need time to adjust to the changes in their life. Dakota Fanning is approximately 1 1/2 years old. Foster says..She loves balls and toys. She's a bit timid with things, for instance a ball fell into a small two gallon bucket and it spooked her trying to get it out.    Like all of them, she tries to keep Cori away from me as a form of resource guarding. But she is not aggressive with food, and she isnt as rough as others have been when playing.    One that I think is unusual is she will come up to me a let me know she wants something with single barks. Like when she hungry or wants to go out. And she always wants to go out, she loves being outside. lastly, she pretty much just skin and bones, so hopefully she put on some weight now.

AdoptaGSD.org   Please consider that some of these dogs have been abandoned or ignored by their previous owners, having little interaction with someone who cares about them. When adopted, they will need time to adjust to the changes in their life. Update: I have spent some time in a Board and Train program and the trainer reported that I arrived as an insecure, untrained dog who really didn't know even basic commands, and I was easily distracted or became over-stimulated. My insecurities led to excessive barking and nipping. The trainer worked with me using a calm, confident style while setting very clear boundaries, so I learned the difference between right and wrong. He recommends that I be adopted as an only dog, because when I'm around other dogs, I can get over-stimulated, which can spill over to other negative behaviors. I would love to find a home with a single person or couple who have a fairly quiet household (no kids). My adopter will need to continue with my training and set clear boundaries for me. The trainer will also provide a complimentary training session to help with the transition and discounted rates for additional training sessions. I would love to find my new person so I can show him or her how affectionate, loyal and devoted I can be!   Hi, I'm Gunner, a handsome 2 1/2 yr old boy who was surrendered to FRGSR by my former owner due to his failing health. My owner was sad to have to surrender me, but rather than abandoning me at a shelter where I may not have made it out, he asked FRGSR if they could help to find me a new home, and thankfully, they said yes. Losing my owner and my home has left me wondering what happened and I'm feeling a little unsure of things. I'm currently living in a foster home, and my foster mom has noted that I'm definitely a boy who needs an owner with GSD experience. I'm particular about my canine friends, because I like some, but not others. I'm crate trained and house trained.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
  Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Bubba #5 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours  (please check your spam folder for our emails) .   Bubba #5 | 1-Year-Old Belgian Malinois Mix | Playful, Energetic Best Friend Bubba is a 1-year-old, 40-pound Belgian Malinois mix with a sleek black coat and an upbeat, friendly personality. He’s an energetic young dog who loves being around people and other dogs. At the dog park he’s a total social butterfly, happily playing with dogs of all sizes and making friends wherever he goes. Bubba is nearly house trained and has made great progress since arriving in foster care. He had a few accidents during his first week while settling in, but he’s been doing very well since. On leash he walks fairly well, though he can pull when he gets excited about meeting people or other dogs. His enthusiasm comes from a friendly place—he just wants to say hello and make new friends. When left home alone for a few hours, Bubba does well in his crate. He may whine briefly at first but settles down quickly and is calm when his people return. He currently knows “sit” (especially when treats are involved) and is still working on his puppy manners, including remembering not to jump up when he’s excited. He responds well to structure and has settled nicely into his foster home’s routine. Bubba has also done well living with a cat, mostly showing mild curiosity before moving on. While he hasn’t met children yet, he’s been very friendly with all people he’s encountered. As a Belgian Malinois mix, Bubba is a smart, high-energy dog who will thrive with an experienced and active owner. This breed is known for its intelligence and work ethic, and Bubba will do best in a home that can provide plenty of daily physical exercise, consistent training, and mental stimulation. He enjoys being engaged and having structure, and he’ll flourish with someone who wants an active companion for walks, hikes, training, or other activities. With the right home that understands and embraces the needs of an active working breed, Bubba will make a loyal, fun-loving companion who’s always ready for the next adventure.   If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's 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 scheduled. 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 complete 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 $400. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking  here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE:  The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter.  Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets.  Here is some interesting info on breed identification:  https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online.  We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting.  Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!

Story
Hi, I'm JoJo! I'm a 2 year old Dutch Shepherd mix. I'm as loveable as can be and am such a good boy! I get along great with other dogs, walk okay on a leash, and am even potty-trained. I need a home without cats though as I like to chase them. I'm in a foster home and patiently waiting for my chance at a forever home.  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 ##2684105##

Story
Hi, I'm Nala! I'm a Dutch SHepherd/Great Pyr mix puppy so I'll probably be a good sized dog but a great family dog too!
