Story
We are the wildlings! Wolf, Coyote, Fox and Dingo. We are clearly smart as a whip, but we weren't socialized quite as much as we should've been. Rest assured, there is still time. If you have the patience, you'll see that we really want to trust and love. We are guessed to be mix of Kelpie and Lab. Those ears! We are not aggressive, just scared but willing to take a treat - so we know the good things in life already. With time and patience, we are already learning that the world isn't so scary - and that humans can be kind, predictable and full of treats. Are you the human to show me the ropes? 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. 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 ##2518093##

Askem

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo
Lebanon, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Askem is a sensitive and soulful little guy who’s had his world turned upside down recently. At around 25 pounds, he’s on the smaller side — possibly a mix of Heeler and Chihuahua — and combines the sharp intelligence and need for purpose of a working dog with the emotional sensitivity and wariness that can come with tiny-dog genetics. The result? A dog who feels deeply, bonds strongly, and needs a bit of extra support navigating change. Askem was originally adopted from us as a puppy and spent the majority of his life with his first owner, who adored him. They gave him a loving, stable home for nearly two years and had nothing but wonderful things to say about him — affectionate, loyal, and a true companion. Unfortunately, a sudden change in their living situation meant they could no longer care for him. They tried to rehome Askem to a relative, but the match just wasn’t right, and after a short time in that second home, Askem found himself back with us — confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of what was happening. Understandably, he hasn’t adjusted well to the change. He’s a naturally nervous dog, and losing the only home he ever knew has shaken his sense of security. In the short-term home he passed through, Askem was reported to struggle with house training and was defensive with guests. These behaviors aren’t uncommon for dogs dealing with stress and uncertainty — especially those like Askem who are already prone to anxiety. It seems likely that he tried to cope the only way he knew how: by overcompensating with controlling behavior (classic Heeler) and reacting quickly when he felt vulnerable (classic Chihuahua). What Askem needs now is someone who can see past those stress responses and understand what they really mean — a dog who is insecure, not difficult. He would thrive with a confident, patient person who can offer him structure, predictability, and firm-but-kind boundaries. He’s the kind of dog who finds comfort in routine, and who will slowly let his guard down when he knows what to expect and who to trust. Beneath the nerves, Askem is incredibly affectionate. Sit down with him and speak softly, and you’ll see the longing in his eyes — he wants to be close, to crawl into your lap, to melt under your touch. He loves scritches and rubdowns and clearly desires connection. We're giving him the time and space he needs right now to rebuild his confidence, and he's already starting to show those sweet, loyal glimpses of the dog he once was. Askem isn’t a dog for everyone — he needs a calm home, likely without young children, and with someone who’s familiar with shy or reactive dogs. But for the right person, he’ll be a deeply rewarding companion. If you believe that trust is something worth earning, and you're ready to help a dog rediscover what it means to feel safe, Askem just might be waiting for you.

Story
🐾 Meet Rocket 🐾 Rocket is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog whose world was turned upside down due to an unfortunate and heartbreaking situation. He didn’t lose his home because he wasn’t loved or wanted—in fact, quite the opposite. Rocket had a family, a kid who adored him, and a home where he was clearly cherished. During a child’s birthday party, with lots of extra kids running around (as kids do), Rocket handled the excitement well for quite some time. But as a herding breed, his instincts eventually kicked in. In an attempt to regain control of the chaos, Rocket nipped a child on the back of the leg. While the situation was resolved and no lasting harm was done, the landlord ultimately decided Rocket could no longer stay in the home. His kid was devastated, and Rocket didn’t understand why everything suddenly changed. The transition has been very hard on him. He’s still adjusting to the shelter environment, which is a far cry from the life he knew. Even so, we are more than willing to be a character witness for Rocket—because this boy is good. Rocket is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He seeks out human attention and leans into love, making it very clear that he’s been well cared for and deeply bonded to his people. We were told he is house trained, has lived with kids his whole life, does okay with cats, and has had doggie friends in the past. Rocket would thrive in a home that understands and respects herding breed instincts—one that can provide structure, guidance, and appropriate outlets for his intelligence and energy. With the right environment and expectations, Rocket has so much love and loyalty to give. This wasn’t a bad dog situation. This was a heartbreaking circumstance. Rocket deserves a second chance at the stable, understanding home he so desperately misses. 💙

Story
Meet Osiris 🖤🤍 Osiris is about a year and a half old, and while we can only guess at his breed mix, we’re thinking Cattle Dog x Terrier… with a few suspicious spots that look an awful lot like Dalmatian flair. Whatever the mix, he’s a truly unique and handsome guy. Osiris was adopted from us as a 5-month-old puppy and spent his first year in a home where he was loved and cared for. Unfortunately, when his family found out they were expecting a human baby, they came to the conclusion Osiris was no longer a good fit for their situation. There’s no blame being placed—but it’s important to know that his return had nothing to do with behavior issues or being bad with kids. He simply wasn’t given the chance. And that part has been the most confusing for him. Now back at the shelter, Osiris is still adjusting. The shelter environment can be overwhelming, and because of that, he can be unsure of strangers at first and may come off a little defensive during initial meet-and-greets. But give him a little time (and maybe a few treats—those definitely help), and you’ll quickly see his true self shine through. Once he feels safe, he’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and eager to connect. Osiris is: - House trained - Crate trained - Good with other dogs and cats - Familiar with basic commands He’s a good boy who just needs patience, understanding, and someone willing to let him settle in at his own pace. We truly believe that in the right home, Osiris will blossom into a loyal, loving companion. All he’s asking for now is a chance—the kind he never got before. 💙
