Story
Hi, I'm Fox! I'm around 9 months old and look to be a Beagle/Shiba mix, but that's jsut a guess! I'm a playful and sweet boy who is ready to find my forever home.  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 ##2467886##

Story
Panko needs a home with no kids and no dogs. He has not been tested with cats. He is bonded to his humom most and is generally more drawn to women. He is a bit of a cuddle bug, so he would do best with a female as his primary caregiver and snuggle buddy. Panko has been with his family his entire life. He's always been a bit of an anxious dog, which causes him to guard his precious resources. It has always been manageable by eliminating high value treats and giving him his own safe space to eat his meals. After bringing home their 1st child, Panko's anxiety has increased significantly, making his guarding worse. His family recognizes it's not good for him to live with this high level of stress all the time and have made the difficult decision to rehome him. He will need a foster/adopter who understands or is experienced with resource guarding. He is currently working with a highly skilled and experienced trainer and is making amazing progress with counter conditioning. Adopters MUST be willing to have multiple meet and greets with Panko and begin working on training prior to placement. Continued training after placement will also be a requirement. Panko is house trained and was crate trained as a puppy but hasn't used it in a long time. He's a well-behaved boy, and in a home with no kids or pets, would not have a reason to be crated. We have dog tested him and he may be able to have dog friends in the future but will still need to be an only dog. Panko is used to getting 2 walks a day, which helps with his anxiety, so he will need a family who is active. Panko is a very sweet social Shiba. He loves meeting new people and getting scratches! He will always remember a new friend and will give a tail wag and want to say hello when he bumps into them. He has lots of energy and never tires on his walks. He is used to having a yard and loves to roll in fresh green grass and his favorite game is biting at the water from the hose. If you are interested in Panko, please fill out an adoption application ASAP! If you are already on our waitlist, please reach out to let us know you are interested. Email us at: adopt@coshibarescue.org or call/text us at: 720-491-1278.

Story
Meet Penny, a 6-year-old Basenji mix with a heart full of love and a spirited personality. Originally from Mexico, Penny made her way to California in December 2020 and was quickly adopted. However, she was returned when her previous family found out they were expecting a baby, and Penny wasn’t comfortable around the little one. Penny is a sweet and loving dog who thrives in the right environment. She’s fully house trained, never has accidents inside, and is a joy to have around. Penny enjoys long walks and playing with her toys, but she also loves relaxing and taking naps next to her favorite people. While Penny is not good with other dogs, cats, or kids, she is an ideal companion in a home where she can be the sole focus of attention. She’s working on her reactivity to other dogs on walks, so a patient family willing to help her through her anxiety would be the perfect fit. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who will shower you with love and appreciate a calm, dog-free home, Penny is ready to become a cherished member of your family.

Story
Benny #A2053284 (HW NEG)  1/13/26 | Stray | Akita Mix | Neutered Male | 1Y | 48 lbs | HW NEG Temp test - https://youtube.com/shorts/v7KQCMyQC4c  Temp test continue - https://youtube.com/shorts/ZzONhy7dmdg    : Benny boy! Benny could probably run a mile with you or play all day with a dog, he’s all go no breaks  me and Benny were at one point wrestling on the grass while citizens came and it looked so playful and cute but really I was just trying to get his leash untangle hehe Benny isn’t much of a treat guy, he wants attention and play! He wants nothing but action, he didn’t pull to hard but when he did it was because he wanted to play with a dog or get something. This guy wouldn’t be able to use any of his brain cells, he’s not so attentive with you either. If adhd was in a dog, Benny would be one of the examples. This guy would be fun if the right person comes, he can easily be a “too much for me” kind of return. Very close energy to Jack, the husky you guys just pulled a couple of days ago! Intake per postal worker there is two large dogs in the area not allowing him to deliver the mail one dog is a light brown and white the other is dark brown   : 1/19/26 – Benny greeted me this morning with a loose body, high curled tail, and a softly closed mouth. He walked gently on a loose leash and accepted treats when offered. 1/21/26 – Benny will stand at the front of the kennel, presenting a neutral body posture, lip licking, and a C-shaped tail. Quiet throughout the day. 1/23/26 – Wiggly body, tappy toes, and licking snout. Walked with tight leash ahead of me out to runs, stopping frequently to mark spots. Did have to pull him away at one point as he tried to stop and pee on an ant pile. Wiggly and playful, bowing at other dogs once he saw them in the runs. 1/25/26 – Mr. Benny when I walked up to his kennel had a wiggly body, happy tail, ears to leash. Walked out with tight leash ahead of me outside, did have to pull him back when he tried to go towards another dog to try to play. 1/28/26 – Benny greeted me with a wiggly body and soft open mouth. Walking Benny he will semi-pull on the leash and will start jumping on me. I will turn my back on him and continue to walk. I tried to redirect Benny with treats but he ignored them. But in the kennel, Benny is very quiet and lays on his kuranda bed. 1/29/26 – Benny greets at the front of the kennel, presenting a loose body, a high C-shaped tail, and lip-licking. He becomes excited when walking and tends to semi-pull on the leash. He follows a trail of treats while walking. 1/30/26 – Dog greeted me with wiggly body and open mouth smile. When I opened his kennel he immediately walked into my leash, he was very wiggly and excited to go outside. He walked on a semi-tight leash. I placed him in runs and he immediately started to offer play bows to his neighbors. He ran back and forward, had zoomies. When retrieving him, I called him over and he immediately came running towards me and offering play bows. Walked loosely back to kennel. 1/31/26 – Benny was quiet and relaxed in kennel during morning feeding and cleaning. Greeted me by his kennel door with a relaxed body, low slow wagging tail and soft open mouth with loose tongue. Walked on a loose leash heading in and out of north building. While in his outdoor kennel he began to play bow with his neighbor and was running up and down, walked back inside on a loose leash and entered kennel with no issues. 2/1/26 – Benny presented a relaxed body with soft swaying tail. Benny walks well on a loose leash but will start to jump on me. While walking Benny, he started to shake his head and got out of his leash and started running away from me. But Benny had run right into the dog run to potty and I closed the gate.
