Story
Mark this moment- the serendipity of having seen this post on this day. Years from now, both you and I will remember this moment as one that changed our lives for the better... or maybe even saved them. My name is Bella and I believe in the power of a dog's love. And if any dog has a heart that can move mountains, it's me. My love is precious, not something to be taken for granted. It's something you have to earn- have a little patience, show me some gentleness and respect, and once I know I can trust you, I will be absolutely devoted to you. When I find my person, I'm so relieved to be able to trust someone that I want to be as close to them as I can- I lean in beside them and melt into their arms. I want to fall asleep with my head on their chest and know I'm safe. And when I wake up, I want to play! I love the great outdoors, running around with my friends, playing ball and just reveling in the unbridled joy dog life can bring. The other thing is, even when I know you, I'm kind of sensitive about being handled and restrained when I don't know what's going on. It can make vetting a little tough, but as long as you're prepared and know where my boundaries are, we're all good. I've waited here long enough to be chosen- to meet the person who will be my whole world. And I'll remember this day forever- the day you found me. If interested, please fill out a preliminary at odas.org/canine and someone will contact you to schedule your visit.

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##
