Story
Meet Tempe! Tempe and her siblings came to us in very rough shape, skinny little babies who needed a kind and understanding heart to show them that not all people are bad. Through lots of love and care (and plenty of kibble!) We were able to get all of her litter back into good shape, happy, and growing. Tempe herself is a great dog: very loving, friendly and energetic. She gets along well with people, children and other dogs. Could probably use some more exposure with cats. She's a water dog! She loves playing and drinking water, but she drinks on her own terms. Tempe has done really well at our local adoption events but is still looking for her forever family! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Meet Bebe Looking for a gentle, shy, and oh-so-sweet pup to love? Bebe is your girl! This 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. Bebe'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 Bebe. She may start off a little shy, but once she warms up, you'll see her fun side shine. Bebe 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, Bebe 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! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Kanga! 🐶💛 Breed: Large Shepard/Mix Personality: Gentle, Cautious, Extremely Loving Kanga may be a big dog, but he has an even bigger heart — once he feels safe. This sweet guy can be fearful around new people and will often bark to let you know he’s unsure. But with slow, respectful introductions, Kanga starts to show his true colors: affectionate, loyal, and irresistibly cuddly. He knows some basic commands like sit, come, down etc. Once you’re part of his circle, Kanga becomes a total lovebug who just wants to be close, soak up attention, and share quiet moments with his trusted humans. He thrives in a calm, patient home where people understand that trust takes time — but it’s worth every second. Kanga would do best with dog-savvy adults in a low-traffic home where he can settle in at his own pace. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you deeply once he knows you, Kanga is ready to meet you — slowly. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX)

Story
My adoption fee is 75% off thanks to a grant from the Petfinder Foundation. So, it would only be $25 to make me a part of your family and give me a new chance at a joyful life! 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##

Story
This handsome boy is as easygoing as they come. Cole is super chill, gets along well with other dogs, and is happiest just hanging out and enjoying the moment. He can be a little shy at first and will need a patient, loving family to help him continue building confidence. Cole and his siblings came from the streets as puppies, and while new people can still make him a bit unsure, he’s made huge progress over time. Once he feels safe, his sweet personality really starts to shine. Cole would thrive in a calmer home with someone who understands that the best things take time. He does need a securely fenced yard so he feels safe and comfortable going potty, and he also needs another dog in the home as a companion to truly be happy. Having a confident furry friend by his side helps him feel more secure and comfortable in his surroundings. With a little encouragement and continued socialization, he’ll keep blossoming into the amazing companion he’s meant to be. He’s also overcome some past hip issues and, after physical therapy, is feeling better and stronger every day! After waiting 3 years, Cole is more than ready to find a family who will see just how special he is! Local adoption fee is $200(in TX)

Story
Sheeba is my name and I am quite the celebrity around here :) Let me tell you all about it... have a seat and grab some tea. I was living on the streets with a gang of friends... found by a rescuer we were being fed but there was no room to put all of us. Of course, I was pregnant and after I gave birth the rescuers were afraid with all the storms that my babies wouldn't survive out there. So the pound was called, and let me tell you....I WOULD HAVE PROTECTED MY PUPS WITH MY LIFE........ of course, that is deemed "aggressive"and after my two day stray hold I was going to be euthanized and my puppies sent to rescues to bottle feed and raise up :( But MY rescue said, UH UH... She comes with the pups.... and they MADE IT HAPPEN! Now, it wasn't easy but I settled in to the routine and learned my caregiver's names and soon enough I was eating out of their hands. And they learned some neat but sad things about me.... I belonged to someone who trained me....... it is sad because no one has any idea where that person is nor why I was living on the streets :( Also, I am a very smart girl so I am also very sensitive to change....but, with my pups grown and adopted, I am now a model citizen at the rescue. Look at my video....I had JUST met the trainer that day and she absolutely fell head over heels for me. Now I am ready for you, I will complete your family. I am still working on my other dog skills and would probably be best where I can be the only dog and give you all my love. I am a gorgeous girl, my coat resembles a Belgian Shepherd's and I have GSD face and mannerisms. So if you want to adopt me, you must love and understand the working breeds. We need an outlet for our drive and you have to provide that to give me a great balanced life. I am ready, I hope you are too!!

Meet Rexx! 🖤🐾 If you're looking for a puppy that's equal parts brains, loyalty, and good looks, let us introduce you to Rexx! At just 3 months old, Rexx is our best guess of a Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix. We don't know who his parents are (he didn't exactly come with a birth certificate! 😄), but we do know he's growing into one amazing pup. Rexx came to God's Dogs Rescue from a rural shelter with his littermates when he was only 5 weeks old. Since then, he's been living in a loving foster home where he's learning how to be the very best boy. This handsome guy is incredibly smart, eager to learn, and has a sweet personality that makes everyone fall in love with him. He enjoys being with his people, exploring the world around him, and is ready for a family that will continue helping him reach his full potential. Because of his working-breed heritage, Rexx will do best with an active family committed to providing continued training, exercise, and mental stimulation. Breed experience is preferred, but a family willing to learn and invest in him will be rewarded with one incredibly loyal companion. Rexx is: 🐶 Neutered 💉 Up to date on vaccines and preventions 📍 Microchipped ❤️ Raised in foster care since 5 weeks old 🏡 Ready for his forever home! Rexx isn't just looking for a home. He's looking for his person. Could that be you? 📍 Local Adoption Fee (Texas): $350 🚐 Out-of-State Adoption Fee: $650 (includes transport to your area)
