Story
This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. Please contact the email listed in this post. For more information about Roscoe, contact  Autriana Crowley at  Autriana@outlook.com  or  720-252-0327    Hi! My name's Roscoe and I am estimated to be around 2 years old. I have been though somewhat of a hard time for my first 2 years of life, but I don't let that get me down! I am hoping a loving and patient person can take me in and give me all the love and cuddles I want to give to them! I am gentle and friendly/safe with puppies, dogs, and babies. I am a love bug who just wants to cuddle and stay besides my favorite people. I would love to be in a home where positive reinforcement is the rule, and no physical corrections or yelling is frequently used as my past has made me a little sensitive to those things. I am fully vaxed neutered and chipped. Shoot my foster a message if you're interested in meeting me! June 25, 2025, 8:33 pm

Story
Cleo is a very energetic and loving pitbull-boxer mix. She loves cuddles and walks and is very obedient. She loves people and is very social and loves to play with dogs and people alike. She doesn’t do well with small dogs and cats but haven’t had issues with dogs bigger than her. We have 2 resident cats that we’ve had for 5-10 years, so we are looking for a loving new home for Cleo.

Story
Hi there, I'm Paco. I'm young, but I've learned a lot already. I'm sweet, friendly, and playful. My sister and I were found wandering without a home. We didn't know where we were going, but we knew we had each other. I'm a little shy, but once I get to know you, we'll be best friends. I'm also smart, so I'll learn quickly. I'll be your loyal companion, always ready for a game or a cuddle. I may be young, but I have a lot of love to give. So why not consider making me part of your family? I promise, I'll make every day brighter. 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 ##2396045##

Story
Hey, I'm Cheerio! I came to the shelter from a really neglectful situation. I was super skinny, tethered to a heavy chain, and kept outside. Luckily, I got rescued and made my way here to PCHS where they have taken good care of me. I have gained 20+ lbs and am much better! I am an absolute sweetheart and love people. I've had a rough start in life but I'm hoping a special someone will come along and see the good in me.  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.

Story
Name: Mrs. Nesbit Breed: Pitbull Mix Sex: Spayed Female Age: 2 years Weight: 49 lbs Good with dogs? Yes, with proper introduction. Good with cats? Not tested yet. Good with kids? Mrs. Nesbit was gentle when she met a baby, showing her sweet side. Because of her playful (and sometimes bouncy!) energy, she may be better suited for a home with older children who can match her zest and give her space when she’s excited. Energy level: She’s the best of both worlds! Mrs. Nesbit has a joyful, high-energy play style—she loves to romp, zoom, and be silly—but also knows how to settle down and become your favorite snuggly couch potato. Medical/Behavioral needs: Mrs. Nesbit has some allergies that cause hair loss around her eyes (called periocular alopecia), but it doesn’t slow her down or dampen her spirit. She takes two medications to help manage her condition and will need regular vet check-ins to keep her feeling her best. Animal Characteristics: Mrs. Nesbit is pure sunshine in dog form. Affectionate, wiggly, and full of personality, she adores meeting new people and warms up quickly with tail wags and kisses. She’s smart, eager to please, and absolutely lives for snuggles and affection. You’ll often find her rolling around happily or flopping onto your lap for love. Mrs. Nesbit is looking for a family who will laugh with her during her goofy zooms, snuggle with her during nap time, and give her the care she needs to stay healthy and happy. If you’re looking for a cheerful, cuddly, and completely lovable companion—she might just be your perfect match. Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. You can also contact my friends at PawsCo at adopt@pawscoadoptions.org if you have questions. I look forward to meeting you!

We're big fans of this Bacon! He pulls hard to get outside and take care of business (housetrained in previous home) and then he's ready to head to the play yard and show off his world class zoomies. He's not especially interested in toys but sure likes treats, snuggles and affection. He's a lovebug and thinks he's a lap dog. This guy will thrive in a home with active owners who will provide positive reinforcement training - he's smart and is happiest when he's mentally and physically active and engaged! He's a big guy and will do best in a home with older children. Bacon has been treated for allergies while at Humane Colorado; talk to your vet about the best ways to keep him comfortable and free of itchy dry skin.July 4, 2025, 8:18 pm

Name: Katniss Leaping Lovebug, The Soccer Sensation Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix Sex: Spayed Female Age: 2 years Weight: 35 lbs Good with dogs? Katniss needs a home with no other dogs, but can play with other dogs who can match her energy level and are tolerant of her playstyle. She has attended daycare and done well. Good with cats? No Good with kids? Yes, kids 10+, she may accidentally tackle smaller humans with her exuberant affection. Energy level: High! Katniss is a curious, explorative girl who loves stimulation and activity, but can also calm down and snooze peacefully or cuddle in a lap. She loves to play with all kinds of toys and take leisurely walks, sniffing and observing the world around her. Behavioral needs: Katniss did not have the easiest start in life. She was taken from her prior owners who did not provide a nurturing environment or proper puppy training and socialization. Katniss has made great progress with daily training and reinforcement of good behaviors. Katniss is an enthusiastic learner with a zest for life, ready for an owner who'll be committed to guiding her journey through continued positive training and proper socialization experiences. She is a bright, attentive, good listener who is eager to learn, loves human interaction, and is motivated by treats and food. She may chase small animals such as squirrels. She will voluntarily enter a crate to rest. Animal Characteristics: Katniss is a sweet, playful, high energy, joyful, pup who is eager to make friends with everyone she meets! She has an exuberant, friendly temperament and a tremendous amount of love to give. She needs an equally loving, patient home in which she can enjoy positive play and enrichment as she grows out of her puppy phase. Katniss is an incredible dog looking for her forever home, and she comes with an amazing bonus: she has $500 in training support through the Noble Beast Scholarship Fund! This scholarship is here to help her transition smoothly into her new home and strengthen the bond with her adopter. Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process.
