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
Little Yeti came to us via another rescue as she and her sis Cherry were terrified in their facility as they have a lot of big dogs and they bark alot. Yeti is the more outgoing of the two girls that originally came out of a hoarding case in Texas we are told. She does take a bit to warm up and wants you to think she is a nipper. She has not bitten anyone but will act like she wants to. Because of my years of loving on small dogs that have never known love I can tell you she isn't mean. Just very insecure. She is the first to me after a few weeks here and loves to give kisses and have me hold her. This kid will need a very secure fenced in yard and someone that understands she will take a few days to warm up. She just needs to learn you mean her no harm and are there souly to give all the loves and all the treats. ##2186548##

Story
Phoebe is a definite Rat Terrier mix around 3-4 years of age. She was found running at large with little Rachel in Taney Co. Missouri. She is a little shy at first, but a super sweet girl. She does climb out of the pup pen that is 4ft tall so a secure yard for her to play in with a privacy fence would be great! She is a little alpha acting with other dogs, but does like their company. Active girl and super pretty too! She would make a great trail/walking partner and prefers women over men, but does warm up. ##1734559##

Story
Hello there, I’m Hot Dog! But you can call me Hot Digity if you’re feeling extra friendly. I’m a senior fella, 13 pounds, 15 years old, and I’m looking for a quiet, loving home where I can relax, snuggle, and be the good boy I am.I’ve had a bit of a rough start, coming from a hoarding situation, but I’m healthy and happy now, thanks to my wonderful foster mom. I’ve had a couple of surgeries recently—cherry eye surgery, a dental cleaning, and some extractions, but don’t worry, I’m feeling good! I eat soft food and small kibble just fine, and I’m pretty easy-going about it all.I may be an older guy, but I still enjoy meeting new people (humans, that is—I’m not too sure about other dogs, especially if they don’t understand my cute little grunt-growl when I’m getting all snuggly). My foster mom’s dogs don’t really get me, but I’m cool with other dogs as long as they’re respectful of my personal space. I like to take it easy, resting and enjoying my snuggles, but I do bark when someone unfamiliar comes by. That’s just my way of saying, “Hey, who’s there?”I’m crate trained and a good listener, very attentive to my foster mom’s requests. I’m still working on my potty training, but I’m making great progress. I walk well on a leash now, and I love to meet new humans. My foster mom says I’m a good dog and that she wishes we had more one-on-one time, but I’m happy with whatever I get, as long as I get my snuggles!I’m heartworm positive, and doing the slow kill method so it’s easier on me. I just want to live out my golden years in a clean, loving environment where I can feel safe and cherished.So, if you’re looking for a quiet companion who just wants to be your best friend, I might be the one for you. I’m ready for my second chance. Could you be my person?*My adoption fee is partially sponsored to help me find a loving forever home!*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. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.April 28, 2025, 5:11 am

Meet Little Miss Maggie – the perfect package! This sweet girl is 7 months old, weighs in at just 29 pounds, and is overflowing with love. Maggie adores children—she’ll actively seek them out for kisses and cuddles! She’s also a social butterfly with other dogs, quickly picking up on whether they’re in the mood to play or just relax. Maggie enjoys toys, bones, and running around the yard, and she’s a dream to walk on a leash. She’s making great progress with potty training—no accidents during the day with regular breaks—and she’s already crate trained, sleeping soundly through the night without a peep. If you think Maggie might be your perfect match, apply today at www.soardogs.org Cat, dog kid friendly Adoption donation required.

Story
Petey is a 6-8 year old probably deaf Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. He showed up as a stray in a rural area. After a couple of weeks no owner was found so he came into rescue. He’s very sweet and playful once he gets to know you. He is not a lap dog, but he wants to be near you. Good with other dogs. Not sure about cats. Right now he weighs 10 lbs. Petey would love to find a family with a fenced back yard since he can‘t hear you calling him. A playmate dog sibling would be great too! Petey has some more vetting to go, but should be ready for adoption in April. If interested you can fill out an application on our website www.allpawsrescue.info and we can set up a meet and greet.  All pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and on a flea/tick preventative.  Cats are tested for FIV/FeLV and dogs are tested for heartworms. Adoption fee is $150 for cats and $200 for dogs. To meet this pet, please fill out a dog application or cat application.  Not able to adopt?  Inquire about fostering or sponsoring this pet.  For more information visit www.allpawsrescue.info.  March 31, 2025, 10:30 pm
