Story
Meet Little Emmy! She just arrived in Colorado after sitting at a kill shelter in Texas for three months. She was saved on her final day. Her past is that she came from a hoarder and she and 10+ other dogs all ended up at the shelter together. Due to this history, she is very shut down right now and learning how to be a dog. She would benefit from living with other dogs to help her come out of her shell. So far she is very curious about the three dogs in her foster home and loves following them around and snuggling up next to them. She will be with her foster for a couple weeks working on trusting humans, leash training, house training, crate training and confidence building before she will be ready for adoption but we are taking interest now. Emmy will need a very calm environment with no children and at least one other dog in the home to thrive once she is adopted. ALL POSO DOGS COME WITH: - TWO FREE ONE ON ONE DOG TRAINING SESSIONS - AGE APPROPRIATE SHOTS - SPAYED/NEUTERED - TICK DISEASE TESTING - DEWORMED/FECAL TESTING - WELLNESS CHECKS - LEASH, COLLAR, FOOD TO GET STARTED, TREATS AND TOYS IF THEY LIKE THEM - FI COLLAR SUBSCRIPTION - COUPONS TO LOCAL PET STORES

Story
Hi, I'm Lucy Drew and I am a senior lady. I was adopted from this shelter 5 years ago but was recently found as a stray with no owner coming forward. I'm looking for a place to rest for my golden days. I seem to do fine with other dogs and I love to go for car rides. I really am just looking for someone to be around.  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 ##528421##

Story
Luna is such a sweetie! She can feel a bit overwhelmed at times, so she will appreciate an adopter that can support her and be her cheerleader when times get tough. Luna has enjoyed the company of another dog in a previous home and may do well with a canine friend in her next home as well! At this time, HSBV will only rehome Luna to a family without children or with children over the age of 10.Luna would love to go home with her brother, Friar Tuck! They are a 2 for 1 adoption but this is not necessary to adopt Luna.

Story
Maggie is 3-4 year old Terrier/Chihuahua/Poodle mix weighing about 15lbs.  Maggie came to us over a year ago from a hoarding case where there were over 60 Chihuahua/Poodle mixes living in a small home in Denver.  They were all incredibly under socialized and neglected, with most of the females being pregnant.  We were able to take in 5 of the pregnant moms from Maxfund to help get them into a safe and comfortable place to give birth and raise their puppies.  We also took about 8 other dogs from the hoarding case to start them socializing and learning how to "dog".  Maggie is now the last dog from the hoarding case and needs her forever family.  Maggie has clearly been through a lot and still has a long way to come.  She is a sweet girl but still pretty timid around humans.  She will come and snuggle with her foster Momma on her terms but it did take an incredibly long time for that to happen.  Maggie really needs a human who can be patient with her and give her a forever home with lots of love knowing she came from an incredibly rough situation and will probaly never be a completely "normal" dog. Her fosters describe her as more of a cat-dog.  We know she could make more progress with some training as well.  We will require she goes to a home with another dog so she can continue to learn how to trust and be a dog. If you are interested in adopting Maggie, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2313815##
