Story
Grits and determination!! That is the saying, right? To get anywhere you must have grits and determination?? Grits are good for you, ask any Southern mama :) You guessed it, my name is Grits and I have a LOT of determination! I came from the pound with HORRIFIC injuries related to a multiple dog attack :( And boy I was in pain and had horrible infections and was so so skinny and just sad... But the rescue peeps fixed me up! It took several weeks of LOVE, good nutrition, wound care and "heart repair" to return my zest for life and to see the glimmer of hope in my eyes... Now I am all fixed up, healthy and happy and READY for you!! Don't ever let me be out on the streets again, fighting off other dogs to live. Give me your COUCH, an air conditioner and lots of love and treats and I will be yours FUREVER!!! And speaking of fur, well, you know I am a Great Pyrenees and we SHED great amounts, so you must love me more than my hair!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Story
Hey! We are the shoe litter. We are named for our favorite shoe brands. I'm Doc, as in Doc Martens. I may look sweet and tender, but I'm part Pyrenees and Anatolian on one side and the other half is Malamute with some hound thrown in. So, I'm ready to stand strong with you. If life knocks you down, we'll bounce back together. I'm as Tough as You and ready to be by your side! Just take that first step to try me on. We could be a great fit! 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 request an appointment to meet me. 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. No need to call to find out about me, you can ask questions on the application or email questions to info@polkcountyhumanesociety.org. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and Minneapolis, MN areas twice a month. 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 and we will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veteinarian ($35). Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! ##1972244##

I'm not just a pet, I'm a companion, a friend, a family member. I'm looking for a home where I can share all the love and joy I have to offer. Why should you adopt me?

Hello, I'm Marley. I am a 3 year old Great Pyrenees/Catahoula Leopard mix. I may be a bit shy at first, but give me a little time and you'll see my friendly side. I'm quite independent, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy company. I just need a moment to warm up to new faces. Once I do, I promise you'll see how much love I have to give. I've got a heart full of affection just waiting to be shared with a family that will give me a chance. Adopting me won't just change my life, it'll add a loyal, loving companion to yours.

Hello there, I'm Adidas! I may be young, but I'm full of spirit and intelligence. When I'm not busy learning new tricks, I love to play. Fetch, tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, you name it!

I believe in making every day an adventure, and I'm searching for a partner in crime to share those adventures with. If you're looking for a smart, playful, and sweet companion, then look no further. I'm ready to make your life a little brighter, a little more fun, and a whole lot more loving. Adopt me, and let's start our adventure together!

Story
Have you always wanted your own polar bear? Now you can! Meet Bear.Bear was from a neglect call our animal control officers received. The owner elected to surrender Bear after working with the animal control officers to address the situation. Bear is very sweet and has a lot of energy. He’s only 3 years old, so he still has a lot of that silly young energy to burn daily. He loves other dogs, respects cats, and does great with children. He does well with men and women equally. He is loving and social and does excellent with our volunteers (as you can see by the photos of him snuggling with one of our volunteers.)Bear is a Great Pyrenees, which is a livestock guardian breed. They were bred to deter sheep-stealing wolves and other predators and are still popular for livestock-raising farms for this very reason. They’re also a super smart breed, although typically called stubborn by their families. Think of a three-year-old child: we’re talking about that level of stubbornness. They’re also prone to wandering, as they were bred to protect a “territory”, so they do best in yards with tall fences. Despite their stubbornness and wandering, they’re a very beloved family breed. They’re often referred to as “gentle giants” for how sweet they can be despite their 80+ lbs frames!All dogs are tested for heartworms and given flea preventatives. They are also tested for intestinal parasites and receive routine dewormings. Dogs are vaccinated against distemper, rabies, and Bordetella, spayed/neutered before adoption, and have a microchip. Adoption fees include the initial automated microchip registration at the time of adoption.
