✨🐶JACKO 🐶✨ 🐾 Male | 5 years old | 8–10 lbs 🐕 Shih Tzu | White Hi. I’m Jacko. Professional cuddle bug. Part-time prince. Full-time heart thief. 👑🤍 I may be a little guy, but I come with BIG snuggle energy. I love being held like a baby, tucked into your arms, and carried around like the royalty I clearly am. Yes, I’m missing one eye… but guess what? It just makes me extra adorable and gives me that permanent “wink at you” look. 😉 A Little About Me: 🧸 Affectionate & loves to be held 🐶 Friendly with other dogs 👋 Friendly with new people (sometimes a little aloof at first — I like to read the room) 👦 Older kids only — tiny humans make me nervous and I need to feel safe 🛋️ Expert cuddler & lap warmer I’m a sweet 5-year-old boy who just wants a calm home, gentle hands, and someone who will let me live my best snuggle life. If you’re looking for a small companion with a big heart, I’m your guy. 👉 Click the link to apply, set up a meet and greet, and make me part of your forever story: https://www.straypawsrescue.com/information/212965547 #AdoptJacko #ShihTzuLove #SmallDogBigHeart #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #ForeverHomeWanted

Story
Tucker is a Shichon mix who just turned 14 years old on Dec 28, 2025. He is between 15-20lbs. We have a 5-year-old dog and a 1-year-old dog, and we think Tucker would be happier in a slower home without other pets or kids, unless they are older, as well. He is an anxious dog who prefers quiet time. He doesn't like to be picked up but wants to be near someone. We have not kept up with his shots, but he has been healthy. He still has some play in him when the other dogs aren't around which is another reason we think he may be happier without other pets around. We don't want money for him. We want him to find a loving and slower home, so he has less stress. Please reach out if you would like to meet him. We don't have a timeline but would like his surroundings to slow down sooner than later. Thank you for your consideration. Robin

Story
I'm Valentina. I was found running loose on February 13, 2026. I'm waiting to see if my people come get me. They have until the 19th. In the meantime, you are welcome to apply to adopt me. I'm a cutie and super sweet. Hopefully my owners will find me, but if not - - I'll be the love of someone's 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 ##2660059##
