Meet Luna and Stormy: The Ultimate Golden Package! 🐾❤️ Are you looking to double your love, double your giggles, and welcome the ultimate duo into your heart? Meet Luna and Stormy, a bonded pair of beautiful 4-year-old Golden Retriever sisters who are looking for a patient, loving home to help them start their next big adventure! These gorgeous, goofy girls are incredibly sweet and relaxed. They are looking for an understanding adopter who will guide them with patience and love as they blossom into the confident, social butterflies we know they can be. Get to Know the Sisters: *Stormy (106 lbs): Stormy is the laid-back girl of the duo. She’s a gentle giant who takes life at her own easy pace. She has a touch of mild arthritis in her front knee, but a daily supplement keeps her moving comfortably! Stormy also rocks a very deep, impressive bark when she has something to say, though she’s generally a quiet girl. She loves balls! *Luna (90 lbs): Luna is a sweet soul who looks to her sister Stormy for reassurance at times. She is a bit more engaged and playful, especially with kids! She loves to carry her stuffies around in her mouth (sometimes more than one!). In her prior home, she liked to counter-surf. While in foster care, she has only put her paws on the counter once. She is easily corrected with an off command. Our Ideal Forever Home Checklist: A Physical Fence: A physical fence is a must! Luna seems to have a natural prey drive for small furry critters. Because of this, they also need a home with no cats. Kid-Friendly (6+): Gets along with children! They've done wonderfully around young children. However, because they are big, strong girls, we are requesting a home with children aged 6 and up, with supervision for any younger visiting kids. Dogs: Lived with 3 dogs prior to foster home. A House (No Apartments/Condos): Would do best in a house with a yard. They aren’t big barkers, Stormy does have a deep bark. Car Safety Partners: Car rides are very new and a bit scary for them right now. Both girls are considered a flight risk in vehicles and try to get out immediately. Their future family will need to use crates or tie-downs to keep them safe and secure while they get used to riding in a vehicle. The Golden Extras: *House & Crate Trained: Absolute champions in their crates! They happily go to bed around 8:30 PM and sleep soundly until 6:00 AM. Luna even loves her crate so much she’ll tuck herself in for naps during the day. No potty accidents, but they do go out a few times during the day. *Grooming Superstars: Just had a full spa day at North Star Grooming by Andrea, and she gave them an A+! They did beautifully with their baths, nail trims, and paw pad touch-ups. Brave in Storms: Loud thunder and lightning? Doesn't faze them one bit! *Leash & Class Learners: They weren't walked on leashes before coming to our foster home, but are already doing great! Because of their size, they currently need two people to walk them. They can still get a little startled by loud trucks driving by. We would absolutely love a family who will take them to obedience training classes to build their confidence. *Both girls are currently on track to shed a few pounds, and we think their playfulness will really shine once they get a bit trimmer! Luna and Stormy are a package deal because their bond is special. If you have the space in your home and a surplus of love in your heart for two goofy, loyal companions, apply to adopt this beautiful pair today! https://grroiowa.org/adoption-information/

You can also reserve an appointment to meet me. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have visits scheduled, so appointments help ensure I’ll be available. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, and we welcome adopters from any state. We have access to a transport to Aurora, CO. Other outofstate adopters either travel to Missouri or arrange & pay for air transport. Virtual meetandgreets are available on the appointment request. ##2854569##

Story
🍁Available for Adoption - Ruby🍁 Ruby is a 1.5-year-old bundle of joy who recently experienced the death of her beloved owner. She came back to her original GRRoIowa foster home for a month and is now ready to give the world another chance. Ruby is a very high-energy, playful girl. She is known as the whirlwind in our house- always ready for action, very open for cuddles, and tireless at retrieving. But she is not a girl to be ignored. She wants to experience life full force. If you ever wanted to train a dog to go hiking or do agility, fearless Ruby is your candidate! She loves other dogs, particularly if they want to race her all day! She is fine with dog-savvy cats. Ruby needs: 🐾A fenced yard. No invisible fences. Ruby was originally placed with GRRoIowa as she has a history of running. She is an adventurous, brave soul. You will need the fence to help burn off her energy. 👫Companionship. Ruby needs her people around more often than not. She has too much energy to be home alone all day. She needs a lot of ball throwing and then can sit quietly at your feet while you work. 💜Affection. Ruby has had a tense couple of months, and we need to make it up to her! She needs someone to truly commit to her. She loves being brushed. 🐾Patience. Ruby can get overexcited and needs to work on her training. She has some basic commands but selective hearing at times. She has experience living with children, but kids should be eight or older, as she is a whirlwind. Training classes would be a great way to encourage that human-dog bond! ⚕Medical care. Ruby came to GRRoIowa with a history of urinary leakage following her spay. She must remain on Proin medication once a day for life. This medication costs about $30 a month, and she thinks it is a treat. She has been dry at her foster’s home both times with us while taking this medication, but she did have accidents at her last home. She is currently let out frequently during the day (again to retrieve those balls!), but she also makes it through a nine-hour night sleeping loose on her foster parents’ bedroom floor, staying dry. If she is off schedule, she will need a diaper at night. (Think too much drinking water after a long walk late at night.) 🏐Toys! Yes!! BALLS! This is a resilient, happy-happy dog, but she is young and makes mistakes at times. And she’s been displaced again. But she will make her family extraordinarily happy! She’s pretty amazing! Submit an application today if Ruby is your girl! https://grroiowa.org/adoption-information/
