Story
Pumpkinn is a truly tender soul - shy at first, but overflowing with sweetness once she feels secure. She approaches the world gently, preferring calm voices and soft encouragement. With patience and love, Pumpkinn blossoms into a devoted, affectionate companion who just wants a safe place and a kind person to trust. She's a quiet treasure waiting for the right home to help her shine.  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 ##2598813##

Meet Taz! This loving and handsome puppy is looking for his forever home. Taz came to us as a stray, and sadly, no one came to reclaim him. Now he's ready to share his sweet personality with a new family! Taz is an affectionate boy who adores being around people and is super friendly with other animals too. He’s ready to bring joy and love into your life—he just needs that special someone to call his own. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and a cuddly friend, Taz is the perfect match! Come meet him and see for yourself how wonderful he is! 🐾❤️🐶 Adopting a Dog from BAHS 🐶All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm tested before going home.Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee how a dog will do with children, other dogs, or cats. If you already have a dog, we require a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along.For everyone’s safety, your current dog must be spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccinations before you can be approved for adoption.

Story
Meet Clyde – Your Big Sweetheart in Need of a Forever Home! He is neutered and up to date on shots. Currently located in Grimes, IA. Clyde is a 3-year-old, 85–90 lb bundle of love and muscle who will absolutely steal your heart. This handsome pittie is super sweet, has great recall, and loves nothing more than gazing into your soul with those big, loving eyes. He’s been wonderful with adults, teens, a toddler, and a busy, loud household. Clyde gets along with other dogs, but we think he’d thrive best as an only pet or with one calm adult dog. He hasn’t been tested with cats. Clyde is crate-trained and goes in willingly, but he dreams of living like a human—free and loved! He’s strong and a little jumpy, so he needs someone who can work with him on manners. He’s smart, eager to please, and deserves the best life. Why is Clyde looking for a new home? His current family loves him, but due to an unexpected medical emergency, they can’t give him the attention and space he deserves.
