Story
Howdy hoy! I'm Buddy Boy and I am so glad to meet you! I've been at the local city pound for quite some time but didn't get any looks. I'm pretty skinny too so I got brought to the shelter in hopes that I can find my forever home and gain some weight. I'm a sweet natured boy and looking for the right home. I use the a doggy door great so potty-training is already down pat. I walk decent on a leash too. I'm a little picky about other dogs and cats seem a little too interesting to me lol. Cna you give a special boy like me a chance? 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 ##2694522##

Story
**Located outside of Madison WI** Luna is a sweet, spirited 2-year-old who brings the perfect mix of energy and affection. She absolutely loves cuddle time and will happily lean into you for pets and attention. When it’s time to play, her favorite game is fetch—she could chase a ball for hours with pure joy. Luna is the kind of dog who bonds quickly, thrives on companionship, and will make someone an incredibly loyal, loving addition to their home. She is good with other dogs but unknown about cats. She kennels at night and has picked up on potty training. Great with Kids, but could knock over smaller ones
