Shyla here! I am a 7-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix. I'm a very active and adventurous girl! I absolutely LOVE playing in the backyard and going on lots of walks. Laying in the sunshine is my favorite place to be! A backyard would be a huge bonus for me in my future home. I would love to be your one and only baby so I can receive all your attention! I promise I have lots of love to give. I enjoy my pals here at the Humane Society, but I am so ready for my forever home! Can you help me find one? People walk by my kennel every day but don't give me a chance... please meet me outside my kennel, and you'll see I'm a good girl with a a huge heart!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Penny is the perfect at home office dog. She's very attentive, and once you've captured her heart, she will follow you around the house and not leave your side! She's very good at listening and knows many commands: sit, down, stay, spin, leave it, crate, show me, out, no, inside/outside, paw - it's very easy to teach her new tricks, too! On top of that, she is crate-trained and house-trained. She'll tell you when she needs to go outside, and she won't go potty in the house or her kennel. Penny is super sweet and playful, and she's also very cuddly once she settles in. She's a beautiful, lovable 4-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix that we guarantee you'll fall in love with! She would prefer a home without other pets or young kids.

Story

Hi! My name is Kelis, and I'm a Pit Bull Terrier mix! I think I'm pretty cute if I do say so myself! I am currently 4 years old and weigh almost 70lbs. I have been at the shelter since November of 2022 and have already spent 2 birthdays and 2 holiday seasons here. Despite this, I have hope for the future and almost always have a smile on my face! Staff is always there to love on me and cheer me up. My dream is to find a loving family to enjoy all the activities with. Can you please help me make that happen? You have no idea how much that would mean to me!I am a very sweet and lively girl! My dream home would include a big fenced-in backyard to play in. Tennis balls are my favorite toy and I LOVE to carry them around. Give me a tennis ball, and I'll love you forever. I can't get enough of them! I enjoy interacting with my canine friends, so let's set up a meet and greet with any dogs you own before taking me home. I'd prefer a home with no cats or kids as I don't know my own size. I promise that I'll fill your life with lots of love and snuggles! I'm so ready to meet you!

Story

Hi!! Apollo here. I'm a big, sweet, loving baby! I am told I am also a bit goofy. I think that makes me extra special. I love attention, treats and being around my people. I can be a little shy at first, but once I know you, I will love you unconditionally and always. The staff says I am "connected at the hip." I just want them to know I love them. When asked to sit, I do it excitedly. I am still trying to figure out leash walking, but I am great in a kennel overnight and I am potty-trained. I am looking for a family to call my own. Will you come meet me? I can't wait to meet you. 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 request an appointment to meet me. 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 Minneapolis, MN areas twice a month. 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 and we will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veteinarian ($35). Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! ##1801113##

Story

As of 3/16/24 Lady still has not found a new home!! I am running out of options for her, I can not keep her, shelters are full!! Lady is a very loving dog with lots of energy, she is kennel trained. She jumps on people and if you're not careful she will knock you over, she knocked me into the wall a few times. She is food aggressive towards other animals but has never bitten or growled at me, but I've never stuck my hand in her bowl, I just tell her to back off and I take the bowl. She belonged to my ex husband and I was dog sitting and he decided he didn't want her anymore cause he's out of town a lot for work so I have had her since May of 2023. She gets along with my dogs and cat and loved my grandkids when they visited and they are 6 and 2. She loves to play and play fetch, she's really a sweetheart. I just can't keep her cause I have one dog that isn't always a fan of her energy.
