Story
Meet Lumi! 🤍 Lumi is a gorgeous 10-month-old, 15-pound pug mix with the sweetest, softest heart. She can be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, her gentle and affectionate personality starts to shine. Lumi is still learning that people can be comforting and kind, and she’s making wonderful progress. She enjoys being picked up, cuddled, and talked to softly, and she’ll absolutely blossom in a patient, loving home. Lumi is house trained and loves other dogs—she needs a confident dog to show her the ropes in her forever home. She’s a loyal girl just waiting for her forever person to bond with. *Not available for transport out of state. Must be adopted locally to the San Antonio, TX area.

Story
🩷 Meet Junia! 🩷 8.5 months old | 13 lbs | Pug Mix House Trained | Crate Trained | Good with Dogs & Cats Junia is a sweet, playful little pup who wins everyone over with her adorable underbite — people often say she looks like a mini boxer! At home, she’s a curious companion who loves to follow her person from room to room, making sure she’s part of whatever’s going on. Once Junia feels comfortable, she turns into a total cuddlebug! She gives gentle kisses, loves sitting in laps, and adores morning snuggles on the bed. She’s also become an excellent walking buddy — walks are one of her favorite activities, and she trots along proudly beside you. Because she was under-socialized before rescue, Junia can still startle easily and may bark at strangers or new situations. She isn’t fearful — she just needs a bit of patience and reassurance to build trust. Once she does, her silly, affectionate personality shines through. Junia gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and does great with cats too! She enjoys playing chase and wrestling with her big dog friends, and even engages with her foster’s playful cat (but wisely gives space to the grumpy one). When no one’s up for playtime, she happily entertains herself with toys or zooms around before curling up for a long nap. Junia would thrive in a loving home with another friendly dog or a patient adopter who can help her continue to build confidence. She’s the perfect blend of sweet, silly, and snuggly — a wonderful companion ready to bring joy to her forever family! 🐾 Adopt Junia today and let this little pug mix steal your heart! *Not available for transport out of state. Must be adopted locally to the San Antonio, TX area.

Story
Hi there, I'm Bang! I'm just a puppy, full of energy and curiosity. My days are spent exploring my surroundings, sniffing out new scents, and playing with my brothers, Bing and Bong. We're quite the trio! I love making new friends, both human and canine. My goofy nature and playful antics will keep you entertained for hours. I'm always ready for a game of fetch or a good belly rub. I'm eager to learn and I've got so much love to give. If you're looking for a friendly, energetic companion who will bring joy and laughter into your life, I'm your pup! 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 ##2352756##
