Story
Meet Poppy! Poppy is a 6yr old, Terrier mix, spayed female and up to date on vaccines/preventatives. She is house trained, kennel trained, and vehicle trained as well. Poppy is a medium energy dog; feisty and likes to socialize BUT she's a little crusty on the outside and super gooey on the inside. She loves her people and her friends; however, you'll need to earn her trust. Poppy can be energetic, plays casually and enjoys sustained games of chase with her friends, on her terms (fun police.) She can get cranky if play becomes too vigorous and she gets pounced on too much/hard. Poppy has a little bit of arthritis, and it can be painful, so she will gladly retreat to the door to let you know she is done with playtime. She is more than willing to go inside, follow you around or curl up, chill, and get her belly rubbed. Being small but mighty, Poppy occasionally has bouts of barking at what she sees moving in the distance and will go zooming up and down the fence line in arousal of anyone/thing approaching; however, she will calm down on her own with minimal intervention from her person. When greeting you, Poppy displays the typical wiggle body and wildly wagging tail. Have you seen how long her tail is?! It waves like a banner over her back and is simply adorable! She may initially hop up to put her feet on you, letting you know she's happy and wants to interact with you, she loves attention and will display a little eagerness to get more loves... so saying her name as she's being petted, and the name of the other dog(s) being petted keeps her content. Noteworthy Behaviors: Poppy displays barrier reactivity with new people/surroundings as a way to express her anxiety in the situation. She will need a person or family, (with older children), who will understand and take their time with her. Once you win her over, she is gold! She is quirky about having her collar touched so she will whine, cower down, and roll to her side. She will display mouthy behavior as you attempt to put a leash on her, but she genuinely wants to go out so don't give up! She will pop right up and head to the door after being leashed!! Key points to consider when adopting Poppy: she is sugar and spice with bursts of energy so great with a laid back and an active family. Honorable mention: Poppy does have a housemate, Sully, who is also up for adoption. If you're looking for two friends, then they are your duo! They would have an easier transition into a new home together but they are not bonded. $200 Local adoption fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes transport to your area) $50 Fuel temporary fuel surcharge

Story
**Courtesy Post** Sammy is a beautiful boy with a lot of energy. He’s six and a half years of age and in the prime of his life. He loves to run and play in the yard and get after varmints. Even though he loves to snuggle and loves love, he is not a couch potato. His owner needs to be energetic as well. Walking, jogging, throwing the ball, playing tug of war, running errands, biking, playing with toys, etc. Also, his new owner hopefully will work from home at least part of the day and not be gone all the time. Sammy needs a securely fenced yard. He will be glad to get rid of all the varmints out there. Sammy requires a home with no kiddos, no cats and female dogs only. If you are interested please contact Sammy’s owner at evairene328@gmail.com and they will send you an adoption application. There is a small rehoming fee. His adopter needs to be able to drive to the Davenport, Iowa area to get him.

Story
Bella Marie is a super sweet senior looking for her forever home. She has been through a lot the last few months and deserves a home that will love her forever! Her previous owner died and she clearly misses him so much. She was anxious when she first came to her foster but she quickly warmed up and now loves being in the mix and getting lots of rubs. Bella is very quiet - she’s never barked in her foster home. She gets along with her foster siblings — they all keep to themselves. She is great on a leash and loves a car ride and chewing on her rawhides. She would be the sweetest companion for anyone looking for a best friend. Bella is about 10 years old and weighs 20 pounds.IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats.

Story
Hi there, I'm Butterball. I am a 3 year old Border Terrier mix. I may be a bit shy at first (as prior to my arrival here I was skittish), but give me a moment and my sweet nature will shine through. I'm independent, so I don't mind if you're busy. I'll entertain myself with toys, sqeaker toys are my favorite! I'm quite smart you see. I can solve problems and figure out things faster than most of my fellow residents here. I may not be the first one to greet you, but I promise, once I warm up to you, I'll be your loyal companion. Adopting me means you're not just getting a pet, you're gaining a friend who'll be there for you, always ready to lend an ear or a paw when you need it. 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. 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! ##1908183##

Story
Harry and Eleanor?? Such SERIOUS names for a couple of goofy pups! We came from a somewhat sad and seriously MESSED up place but now we may be a little shy but we are definitely NOT SERIOUS :) We are JRT/Rat Terrier mixed siblings, each of us is cute and loving in our own right. Under 15# of absolute adorableness is who we are. We are both still a little nervous, I mean we came from a pretty horrific situation so know that we were not handled and loved on until the last month or so in our foster home... but we are learning so much and having a blast! We are great together but do not have to be adopted together. We will need at least another dog with us to show us the ropes and keep us company in our new family. We are good with everyone so that will be pretty easy :) Look one of us up and ADOPT...DON'T SHOP!!! SO MANY LIVES' DEPEND ON IT!! Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)
