Story
Rey the Jedi was rescued from a puppy mill so she is purebred but does not have paperwork. She is incredibly sweet but the puppy mill had poor conditions and she needs patient human. She generally plays well with dogs but my older dog is a grumpy old lady who has always bullied her so I want to find her a stress free home. I don't have children in the house so I don't know how she is with kiddos but in general she likes people. She has a lot of energy and will likely thrive on a large property with space to run. Bonus points if you have any kind of job for her! But most importantly she needs someone with a lot of love and patience as aussies are GREAT dogs but they are neurotic!

Story
Grizzly here! I’ve had quite the journey — I was on the run for a few months before some kind people finally brought me to the shelter. All that running hurt my leg and gave me a torn cruciate ligament, but thanks to a wonderful donation, I had surgery and I’m all healed up now. I can be pretty shy when I first meet new people, but once I get to know you, I’ll be your loyal buddy for life. I love going on walks and, of course, I never say no to a good treat! Because I used to run a lot, I’m considered a flight risk, so I’ll need a fenced yard or to always be on a leash. Now I’m ready to find my forever home — could it be with 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 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 ##2435218##

Story
Name: Ted Breed: Toy Australian Shepherd Sex: Neutered Male Age: 1 year 6 months Weight: 21 lbs Needs Experienced Adopter, We are seeking a foster-to-adopt home for Ted, someone experienced with dogs who have fear-based reactivity and willing to continue working on his behavior with patience, structure, and training support through PawsCo. Good with dogs? Ted may do best as an only dog, as he can be protective of his food and may feel overwhelmed sharing space. Good with cats? No. Good with kids? No. Energy Level: Medium. Ted loves to romp around, explore the backyard, and play with toys. Once his play needs are met, he settles nicely and enjoys relaxing. Behavioral Needs: Ted spent most of his early life outdoors and is still learning how to be a comfortable indoor companion. He’s working on feeling safe, managing his stranger danger, and sharing resources. Because he struggles with being left alone, he will need a home where someone is home often or works from home. Ted is significantly undersocialized and requires very slow, structured introductions to new people and experiences. Continued professional training will be important for his success. About Ted: Ted is a silly little rascal with a big heart who thrives on fun, exploration, and connection. He’s looking for a patient, committed adopter who can help grow his confidence through gentle guidance, consistent training, and thoughtful socialization. Ted is easily frightened by loud noises, barking dogs, and unfamiliar people, but with love and support, he can learn that the world is safe. Despite his rocky start, he is ready to blossom and share his playful, curious, sweet puppy personality with the right person. 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!

Story
Meet Porter — the sweetest boy looking for his forever home! Porter is a gentle, loving, and intelligent 1.5-year-old pup who weighs about 40 pounds. With his beautiful markings and alert expression, he might be a mix of Husky or Australian Shepherd. He adores playtime, enjoys his daily walks, and gets along wonderfully with both dogs and older respectful kids 12+. Porter had a tough start in life but with the help of a professional R+ trainer, he has worked through some issues and is learning to be the best boy. New environments can make him a bit unsure, so he needs a patient family who can offer structure, reassurance, and gentle guidance, so Porter will continue to blossom. He would like to join a home with another dog. He’ll happily play the day away with his new furry sibling. He’s active and playful, yet also appreciates quiet time and settles easily. He will do well in a home with humans who listen and respect him when he’s nervous about something and have his back. Porter is also working on his potty training and will need a consistent, structured routine in his new home to help him continue to build good habits. Because of this, Porter is going to be a better fit with a secure fenced in yard. If you are interested in meeting Porter, the first step is to complete our meet and greet application at  https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms  We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home. Porter is neutered, utd on vaccs, chipped, and HW-. His adoption fee is $375 and we do not adopt outside of Colorado.December 9, 2025, 5:47 pm

Story
Introducing Eggnog! Eggnog and his siblings came from a New Mexico shelter who thought their mom might be a corgi mix. DNA results show about half herding breeds and half terrier. He is about 10 weeks old and 8lbs, so we believe he will be a small to medium when full grown. Eggnog is the boldest of the litter. He is always the first up and ready to explore and meet new friends. He loves to climb and can often be found napping on top of the puppy pile. Rubber chew toys are his favorite. Eggnog is working on his potty training, and does well sleeping in a pen at night. He loves to play with his siblings, and will even try to wrestle with the adult dogs in his foster home. If you’re interested in meeting Eggnog the first step is to complete our meet and greet application at https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home. He will be neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines. His adoption fee is $400, and we are not adopting outside of Colorado.December 26, 2025, 2:57 pm

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.
