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##

Story
Meet Alex  Alex is a sweet, spunky senior looking for a soft place to land. He’s about 8–9 years old, weighs 9 lbs, and is neutered and fully vaccinated. Despite some vision and hearing loss, Alex loves to play and enjoys long, leisurely sniff He is mostly deaf and can only hear some loud or high-pitched noises, so small children are not recommended, as he may have trouble predicting sudden movements. He does best in a calm, low-key home with respectful children who understand giving him space when needed. Alex is house-trained and knows to go potty outside, and he is continuing to improve. Because of his hearing loss, he may sometimes need a gentle tap to get his attention when it’s time to come inside from the yard. He does not enjoy being crated, but he is comfortable being confined to a room or behind a baby gate. He gets along well with older, mellow pets, but can be a bit grumpy around high-energy animals or overly hands-on kids. Overall, Alex is a loving “old man” with lots of personality who would thrive in a quiet, patient home where he can feel safe and cherished. If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Alex’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.
