She’s affectionate, curious, and playful—always ready to bring joy to your day. This gal has already graduated from a basic training course a couple of years ago (just needs a few refresher lessons), knows some commands, and is both crate and house trained. She LOVES doing the zoomies to burn off some energy, and once she gets over the excitement of heading out, she walks nicely on leash—ready to explore the world by your side. And that excitement gets her stubby tail going, making her whole body wiggle!! Chelsea is an active girl looking for an active family. Whether you’re running errands, playing fetch (or maybe make that... keep away!), hiking in the woods, camping under the stars, or just soaking up the sunshine in the backyard, she’ll be your loyal ride-or-die. Oh, and car rides? She’s obsessed—ears flapping in the wind, pure happiness on her face. 🚗💨 ✨ Why Chelsea might be your pawfect match: — Loves people, both tall and small (hasn't met a stranger yet...everyone is her friend, put in her path for one reason only, to just give her some lovins!!) — Gets along great with other pups, but would also happily soak up all the love as your one and only — Cat curious—she’s not trying to hurt them, just hoping those funny creatures will play — Young, active, and full of zest for life Chelsea is sooo ready to unleash all her awesomeness on her forever family. With her sparkling personality and zest for adventure, she’s sure to bring endless tail wags, puppy kisses, and unforgettable memories. 💖 Don’t wait another second—apply to adopt Chelsea today at haydudeequine.org and let your life be filled with her excitement and let your adventures begin...together!!

If you’re looking for a strong, handsome pup with a sweet, gentle soul, Jager is ready to win you over—one buttery cuddle at a time. If you are interested in a meet and greet for adoption for Jager, please fill out an application on our website at www.gatewaypets.org/adopt. If you are interested in learning more about Jager or the adoption process at GPG, please email placement@gatewaypets.org All of our dogs and cats will be microchipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption.

Story
Hi, I'm Bubba! I'm a sweetheart and was found as a stray and it looks like I got beaten up. The shelter is getting me all healed up.  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 ##2648902##

Story
Meet Boston Cream, a brilliant and sweet-natured soul who is discovering just how wonderful life can be! True to her name, she is a total treat—a "smart as heck" girl who impresses everyone with how quickly she masters new tricks and expands her vocabulary. Boston Cream is the ultimate companion for someone who loves a balanced lifestyle; she’s always ready for a spirited game of fetch or a round of "zoomies" (complete with adorable jumps and spins!), but she is equally skilled at the art of the afternoon nap. While she is still transitioning from her life as an adventurous outdoor girl to a pampered indoor lady, she is making wonderful progress with her house manners and is already a pro at keeping things tidy. Because she cherishes her personal space and has a strong, focused personality, she may thrive best as the "only child" in a home where she can soak up all the affection she deserves. She’s a brave girl who is learning to trust the world again, and once she settles into her kennel or a cozy corner, she is calm and content. Boston Cream is looking for a patient heart to continue showing her that the world is a gentle place—and in return, she’ll give you all the loyalty and cleverness she’s been saving up!
