Story
I'm Sweetheart and I'm ready to write my love story with you. I'm passionate, tender, affectionate, flirtatious and, did I mention, I'm super cute and fluffy. I'm a mini-schnauzer and, just the right age to be your new romantic partner in life.  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 ##2558936##

Story
Meet Bucky Mini Schnauzer / Maltese Mix | Male | DOB: 3/1/2024 | 15 Pounds | Healthy Bucky is 15 pounds of loyalty wrapped in a happy, wiggly body. At two years old, he’s the perfect balance — playful enough to keep life fun, mature enough to settle beautifully into a routine. He’s the kind of little dog who chooses his person and loves them with his whole heart. Personality Bucky is affectionate, bright, and deeply people-oriented. He enjoys walks, toys, and interactive play, but what he truly loves most is being close. He’ll follow you from room to room, curl beside you on the couch, and look at you like you’re the best thing that ever happened to him. He bonds strongly and thrives when he feels included. Breed Info A Maltese/Schnauzer mix often brings intelligence, trainability, and strong attachment to their people. They are companion-oriented dogs who do not thrive in isolation. Grooming will be part of her lifelong care, and mental engagement is important to prevent boredom. With proper training and routine, this mix becomes wonderfully loyal and well-adjusted Owner Responsibilities Daily companionship, gentle exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement. Bucky will flourish with routine and stability. Things to Consider Is your housing secure and pet-approved long term? Are you prepared financially for grooming, veterinary care, and emergencies? If your life changes — a move, new job, relationship changes — will Chelsea still have a place in it? Adopting a young dog means committing through every stage of life. Vet Care Even though Chelsea is healthy, it is important to establish care with your own veterinarian immediately after adoption. This ensures proper vaccination follow-up, growth monitoring, and preventative care planning. The 3-3-3 Rule The first 3 days she may feel unsure or overstimulated. The first 3 weeks she will begin understanding your routine. By 3 months, with patience and consistency, she will feel safe and truly at home. Adjustment is a process, not an instant transition. Why Bucky? Bucky is the kind of dog who becomes your little shadow and your steady companion. He will celebrate your return home, curl beside you at night, and offer loyalty that feels deeply personal. If you’re ready for a devoted best friend who chooses you every day, Bucky is ready to choose you back. If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue. We can’t wait to connect you with your new fur-ever friend. Ozzie and Friends Rescue makes arrangements for all dogs adopted to be transported all across the Western United States, Canada and the Midwest.March 3, 2026, 6:58 am

Story
Hi, my name is Shortie! Kelsey and RezDawg Rescue saved me from being euthanized, and I am so very thankful. I was given a second chance at life — and I don’t take that for granted. Not only am I Shortie… I’m a total cutie too! I’m a 3 year-old Schnauzer who is a joy to be around. I love to play — chasing balls and fetching are some of my favorite things! I enjoy running in the yard, going on car rides, and being part of whatever my humans are doing. I get along great with kitty cats, other dogs, kids, and people of all ages. I’m social, loving, and happiest when I’m included. And when the day winds down? My favorite place is snuggled up right next to you in bed or curled beside you on the couch. I am neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines, including rabies, so I’m healthy and ready for my forever home. I survived. I was saved. And now I’m just looking for a family who will love me for the rest of my life. Could that be you? If you fill out a non-obligation adoption application you and I could meet and see if we are a good fit for one another and your family dynamics. I sure hope to meet you soon!! ##2666238##

Story
Rudy is a 3-year-old Miniature Schnauzer weighing 12 pounds. She’s a shy, sensitive girl who is still learning to trust people, but her strong food motivation makes treats a wonderful way to build positive connections and encourage her confidence. Rudy is very attached to her canine companions and feels safest when she has another dog by her side. She requires a confident, friendly dog already established in the home to help her feel secure and navigate new situations. She also requires a securely fenced yard, where she can safely explore at her own pace. Fast movements, loud noises, and unfamiliar situations can make Rudy nervous, so she needs a calm, predictable environment in order to continue making progress. A quiet household with consistent routines will help her feel safe and allow her personality to slowly shine through. While Rudy may be reserved at first, she secretly enjoys being held by the people she trusts—those gentle moments help strengthen her bond once she feels safe. She enjoys puzzle toys that keep her mind engaged and responds well to positive, reward-based interactions. Rudy will do best in a patient home that is confident handling small dogs and understands the needs of shy, sensitive pups. With time, consistency, and kindness, Rudy has the potential to blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion who thrives alongside her canine friend. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog’s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Story
Howard is a 10.5-pound Miniature Schnauzer who is still very early in his journey toward feeling safe in a human world. He’s a deeply nervous little guy who prefers to keep his distance, quietly observing everything from afar. Though he’s not ready to approach people just yet, he watches closely—and those watchful eyes are full of curiosity. Howard is still learning to trust humans and will need a patient, understanding home that is willing to work with him at his pace, especially when it comes to handling. Fast movements, loud noises, and unfamiliar people can still make him nervous, so a calm, predictable environment is essential for his continued progress. At this stage, Howard is learning that people bring good things, like tossed treats and gentle, consistent routines. While he remains very cautious, he has shown that he can make progress in the right environment with time and patience. Howard feels safest when he’s with a canine companion and requires another confident, friendly dog already established in the home to help guide him and provide reassurance. He also requires a securely fenced yard, as this allows him to feel safer while navigating the outdoors. When he’s with another dog, his confidence noticeably improves. Though he’s not ready for physical affection, Howard does enjoy being groomed and pampered—those calm, predictable moments seem to help him relax and feel cared for in a way that feels safe to him. Howard will do best in a quiet, experienced home that understands fearful dogs and is committed to letting trust build naturally over time. He’s not looking for perfection—just someone who can offer patience, consistency, and kindness while celebrating each small step forward. With the right support, Howard has the potential to continue blossoming into a dog who feels safe and secure in his world. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet.
