Story
Clyde is a happy, playful boy who believes there's simply way too much fun to be had to sit still for very long! He's always ready for the next wrestling match, a good case of the zoomies, or a toy that needs his immediate attention. Other dogs are definitely Clyde's favorite playmates. He absolutely loves his puppy roommates and is happiest right in the middle of whatever they're doing. Whether they're racing around the yard, wrestling, or investigating something new, you can count on Clyde joining the party. He's also been respectful of the cats in his foster home. Clyde enjoys his people too and gets excited when he sees you—he'll happily engage in a little human-versus-puppy wrestling match! He's just not quite as interested in stopping for pets and cuddles as some of his roommates. Right now, playtime wins over snuggle time, and with so much puppy business on his schedule, who can blame him? As he continues getting more individual attention and bonding with his own family, we think there's still plenty of Clyde's personality waiting to unfold. He loves toys, running around outside, and putting those puppy legs to good use. He's currently working on potty training and learning all the other skills that come with growing into a very good boy. Clyde would love a family that appreciates his playful spirit and will give him the time and space to build his relationship with them naturally. And if there's another playful dog in the family? Clyde would probably consider that a pretty fantastic bonus. Local adoption fee is $350 (in texas) and $650 for out of state adoption fee ( includes transport to your area)

Story
Hi I'm Lil Bit! I'm a 4 year old Toy Australian Shepherd, so I'm a tiny girl. I'm new to just about everything life has to offer and can really use a patient home where I can decompress, accept human love, and learn to be a proper doggo! I'm sweet but it takes a bit of time for me to warm up and feel comfortable. Can you give a lil girl like me a chance to be yours? If you're interested in adopting me, please fill out an application at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt. You can also reserve an appointment to meet me. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have visits scheduled, so appointments help ensure I’ll be available. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, and we welcome adopters from any state. We have access to a transport to Aurora, CO. Other outofstate adopters either travel to Missouri or arrange & pay for air transport. Virtual meetandgreets are available on the appointment request. ##2843737##

Story
Monty is a great name for a great dog like me ;) I have the Monty Python kind of humor... goofy and sweet! But, don't mess with my crate! That really is my only "pet: peeve!! I was found on the streets 2 years ago and was adopted as a pup... however, I became the boss in the house and didn't like anyone entering the house that I didn't know :( SO..... Back to the rescue, because they won't give up on me!! So here I am and I have really adjusted to the environment and new people meeting me and treats and lots of love. AND the crew here basically has determined that I need a family/adopters that will be in charge of the house. Someone I can trust to protect me so I don't have to!! I am vocal in my crate, so my crate needs to be away from the common areas so I can relax and not meet everyone that stops by. Once I settle into my new home I will follow your lead! I am a gorgeous boy, with caramel and milk chocolate highlights in my soft fur. I want to please my family and go on all kinds of adventures! I am awesome out and about, meeting new people and new friends :D I hope you will look into my eyes, the windows to my soul, and see the HOPE I have to find my own home again! The rescue is great because I got a second chance, but I REALLY want a home!! Local adoption only $300 (in TX)

Story
Pip is full of energy 25lb mini Aussie! She’s loving, funny sometimes rebellious if not given enough attention. She just turned 1 years old. She is due for shots here soon. She loves to have chew toys and bones, she knows how to do commands , sit, stay, lay, kennel, jump and no. She’s kinda cooped up with all this energy - it isn’t ideal for her. My sons have jobs they are now working , along with me working and all 3 of us busy with lives , she’s hardly outside or even out of her kennel and it’s just not fair for her! She gets a little feisty around other female dogs I will say- but I’m not sure if it’s her wanting to play or claiming dominance. I haven’t explored further with that one. We need someone to love her like we do but with the time we don’t .

Story
Meet Tucker. He is the biggest lover of any dog we have ever had or fostered. Dude loves his snuggle time. He is 8 months old and has zero sense of personal space Tucker loves to play, is smart and treat-motivated, knows how to sit and is kennel-trained. He’s potty trained with the exception of a few accidents that I am chalking up to the never-ending rain we have had since he got here. He is super gentle and respectful of cats and loves all kids. He’s be a great dog for a kid to grow up with. He will be good in a home with or without other dogs. He loves to play but also knows how to have his own fun. He’s been training on the leash and is on his way to being a great walking buddy. Non-reactive to other dogs on a leash. He’s perfect for someone wanting a puppy but not really wanting to do all the puppy training. 😉 Tucker's adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in meeting Tucker, please fill out the application on our website. www.foreverhomedogs.orgAll adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.
