Story
Hi! I’m Primadonna, a sweet and friendly soul in search of a forever home. I was found as a stray so my days are filled with dreams of long walks, cozy cuddles, and the joy of finding my very own family. I’m eager to be someone’s loyal companion, sharing every moment with warmth and affection. If you’re looking for a devoted friend to add endless smiles to your days, I’m just the girl for you! Why not come meet me and let’s start our adventure 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 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 ##2533273##

Story
Penelope is a gentle soul with a shy side, but don’t let that fool you—once she trusts you, she’ll be your shadow and your most loyal companion. She may take a little time to warm up, but with patience and love, you’ll watch her blossom into a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to stay close by your side. She does best with a confident canine buddy who can show her the ropes and help her feel secure in new situations. Once she’s comfortable, Penelope’s playful personality starts to shine—she loves splashing around in the water, exploring the yard, and then curling up for cozy snuggles during movie nights. Penelope would thrive in a calmer home where she can relax and feel safe. If things get too busy or loud, she’ll quietly retreat to her favorite peaceful spot to recharge. With her gentle nature and soft heart, she’s the perfect mix of heartwarming loyalty and quiet charm—just waiting for the right person to bring her fully out of her shell. Are you ready to earn her trust and win her heart? Penelope is waiting for you. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Pinky Lou Hi everyone, I am the only one of my siblings with a lighter brindle coat and pointy ears. I love to run free and play. I might be a little skiddish, but once I know you I with give lots of kisses. Oh, and I can sit really well if you put a leash on me. I can almost stand at a standstill, lol. I am still a puppy and learning, but I am good with kids and cats. I also understand when it's time to eat, that I should go to my kennel. If you have a large yard to let me run and time to play with me, then I would love to go home with you. I am waiting.... :) Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Meet Red Moon 🌙 Looking for a gentle, shy, and oh-so-sweet pup to love? Red Moon is your girl! This 5-month-old German Shepherd/Pitty mix has the perfect blend of brains, beauty, and heart. She’s great with cats, dogs, and kids, making her a wonderful fit for a loving family. Though she’s still learning the ropes of life like potty training and crate training, she shines brightest when she’s playing with her siblings or soaking up head scratches and giving kisses. Red Moon’s story started when her brave mom, abandoned by her owner, found safety at her foster home to give birth. Dad has been faithfully by Mom’s side for years, and together they’ve raised a litter of wonderful pups like Red Moon. She may start off a little shy, but once she warms up, you’ll see her fun side shine. Red Moon loves to run and play with her siblings (she’s the fastest of the bunch!) and will happily be your mellow cuddle buddy when it’s time to rest. If you’re looking for a pup who will adore you as much as you adore her, Red Moon is waiting to meet you! Go ahead and submit an adoption application for her now! ✨ Favorite toy: Her siblings ✨ Best rub spot: Right between the eyes ✨ Hidden skill: Outrunning everyone at playtime! $250 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $550 Out of State Adoption Fee (includes transportation to your area)

Story
🐾 Meet Waffles! 🐾 Age: 3 years old Breed: Belgian Malinois Mix Status: Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions Waffles is a stunning, smart, and athletic Belgian Malinois mix looking for her forever family! At 3 years old, she’s past the puppy stage but still full of energy and enthusiasm. This girl is incredibly sweet and eager to please, but she will thrive best with a breed knowledgeable owner who understands both the mental and physical needs of a Malinois. Waffles loves a good game of fetch, and she’ll happily play for hours if you let her. She has had professional training, which makes her a fantastic partner for someone who enjoys structure, exercise, and continued learning. Her trainer is also willing to work with her new adopters should they like to continue her training. Like many Malinois, she has prey drive and will definitely keep the squirrels out of your yard. With cats, she’ll need slow, careful introductions. If they run, she may want to chase. She does well with other non-dominant dogs, but proper introductions are important to set her up for success. If you’re looking for a loyal, athletic, and intelligent companion who will love adventure as much as she loves downtime with her people, Waffles could be the perfect match. 💌 Could Waffles be your new best friend? Apply today and give this amazing girl the home she deserves! $200 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $450 Out of State Fee (includes transportation to your area)

Story
Meet Ranger, the intelligent and active Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and boundless energy. This handsome boy is a fast learner and has mastered essential commands like sit, down, wait, and shake. He's so clever that he tackled a level 3 puzzle on his first try! Ranger is a well-behaved and well-trained pup, making him a pleasure to have around the house. He's house trained, crate trained, and shows no signs of destructiveness indoors. However, he does experience some separation anxiety when his human leaves the house, which is why he's kept in his crate during errands. But don't worry, when he's playing in the backyard with his furry friend, he's perfectly content and doesn't exhibit any separation anxiety. Ranger is an active boy who loves going on walks, and he'll gladly accompany you on all your outdoor adventures. While Ranger is intelligent and affectionate, he can be barrier reactive, meaning he may react when he encounters certain barriers or boundaries. Patience and positive reinforcement training can help him overcome this behavior. This is very typical behavior for both breeds and he absolutely has to be adopted into a Mali/GSD knowledgeable family/ Ranger was in pretty rough shape when rescued and the vet initially thought he had an intestinal disease. Nothing was definitively diagnosed but the vet believes he has small intestinal issues. He is on a folate vitamin daily and will just need annual lab work and a high quality RAW FOOD diet. Ranger's charm and charisma shine through in the photos and videos provided, capturing his playful and loving nature. If you're looking for a smart, active, and affectionate companion, Ranger is the perfect match. Give him the love and care he deserves, and he'll reward you with loyalty and companionship like no other. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Raven is my name and kind of like a raven, I am a 'loner'... except for the puppies i had when I arrived at the rescue... I was saved by a trapper on the streets, they weren't even there to save ME that day, but they did!!! I am obviously a beautiful girl, big and solid as well as black and brindly. I am a loving girl, in my own way... i lived on the streets for who knows how long and I honestly am not a cuddly girl or even a sit by your feet dog, YET... I have all kinds of love to give, you can see in my eyes that I have always dreamed of someone with the patience to love me for who I am and who I can be!! I am great on a leash and do love walking around and exploring. I am good with other dogs and likely would do best with another dog who is calm and confident with his/her family. I am so so ready for you, I have the shepherd double coat so I will shed in your house, must have a great vacuum cleaner and tolerance of hair :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
