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
Swiftie is a medium-sized Aussie mix with a gentle heart and a soft, soulful presence. She may start out a bit shy, but give her a moment — and a calm, patient approach — and you’ll see her blossom into the sweetest, most loyal companion. This lovely girl gets along wonderfully with other dogs and seems to take comfort in their company. She’s still learning that people are safe, but she warms up quickly when you move slowly and let her come to you. Once she trusts you, she’ll stick close, listen beautifully, and soak up all the kindness you offer. Swiftie is fully potty-trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and has shown she can be trusted without a crate, both overnight and when left alone. She’s still figuring out stairs (they’re suspicious!) but she’s smart, eager to please, and learns fast with a little encouragement and cheerleading. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate dog who will reward your patience with quiet devotion, Swiftie might just be your perfect match. She’s ready for a home that’s loving, steady, and excited to help her continue growing in confidence. Give Swiftie the safe, happy life she deserves — she’s so ready to meet her person.  ##2599246##

Meet Autumn, the sweetest little pie you’ll ever meet! Autumn is a people-loving, snuggle-seeking sweetheart who will happily melt into your lap for massages and belly rubs. She has a charming independent streak and knows how to entertain herself, but she lights up during playtime and loves interactive fun with her humans. This smart girl already has “sit” mastered, is working on “down,” and knows exactly when to drop something she shouldn’t have — she just wants to make you proud.  If you’re looking for a loving, playful, cuddly companion, Autumn is your girl. She’s ready to bring warmth, joy, and lots of tail wags into her forever home. ##2599229##

Story
I'm a college graduate! I spent 10 weeks at MSU training with the students there in the DARR School of Agriculture in their Companion Animal Program. I was already a sweet girl, but now I’m trained and really ready to be the best girl ever for a new family. Won’t you give me a chance? Hi, I'm Gabi! I'm a Border Collie/Heeler/German Shepherd mix! I'm very sweet and affectionate and I am looking for a home that can keep up with 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. 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 Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis, MO. 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.  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 ##2488927##
