Story
Jax is a 4 year old Australian Sheppard and gorgeous to boot.  He was an owner surrender being no fault of his own.  Jax is high energy and his owner did not think they could give Jax what he needed to become a better dog.       Jax does great with other dogs (presides in a house with 2 other dogs).  He does very well with the neighboring children and also lived with children in his previous home.     Jax has alot of energy.  He does great in the backyard with fetching and running around with my other foster dog.  He also thinks he is the Tug of War champ of the house and would bring the rope to you to try and prove it.      He is crate trained and potty trained (will tell me when he wants to go outside).  He is a smart dog that does need some more training  He does know simple commands like sit, paw, and lay.  But he does lose focus when a treat is involved.     Jax has been a great dog for me and will definitely be a great dog for his future owner.    If you are interested, complete the  Adoption Application  on our website at  www.NeedyPaws.org  and we will contact you.  Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Jax’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes. We are dedicated to finding the best Forever Homes, and will perform home visits and conduct veterinarian and reference checks for each potential adopter.

Story
Looking for the "best bite" at the shelter? Brisket is officially ready for his forever home! He is a very sweet guy who is 100% prime-grade affection. Brisket doesn't just want a backyard; he wants a family to call his own. He’s the kind of dog who is always happy to see you, greeting you with a wagging tail and a big, goofy smile. Whether you’re heading out for a stroll or settling in for a movie marathon, Brisket is the perfect "plus-one." He’s well-mannered, social, and has a heart that’s even bigger than his name. 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 ##2674200##

Story
If your ideal weekend involves hiking trails, playing fetch, or just staying on the move, Rockey is ready to lace up his sneakers and join you! True to his name, Rockey has a "rock-solid" spirit and enough energy to keep the fun going all day long. He’s a very sweet athlete who hasn't met a mountain he couldn't climb or a toy he couldn't chase. But the best part about Rockey? Once the sun goes down and the energy is spent, he transforms into a world-class snuggler. He’s looking for a home that can keep up with his pace and match his huge heart.

Story
WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet Pixel – the Sweetest Soul with the Coolest Eyes in Texas! Pixel is a 2-year-old, 42-lb Australian Shepherd/Kelpie mix with a uniquely colored coat that makes her as beautiful outside as she is inside! She’s gentle, easygoing, and about as drama-free as they come. If dogs had a “Most Likely to Be Everyone’s Favorite” award, Pixel would win it paws down. This lovely girl gets along beautifully with just about everyone—people, dogs, kids, new situations—you name it. She’s calm, confident, and refreshingly mellow for an Aussie mix. Think less “whirling devilish herding machine” and more “professional couch companion with occasional zoomies.” And let’s talk about those eyes! Pixel has one stunning blue eye and one soulful brown eye. According to urban legend, that means she can see things in heaven and on earth at the same time. Pretty cool superpower, right? Basically, she’s part dog, part magical guardian angel. Pixel also comes fully loaded with excellent house manners: • Crate trained ✔ • Housebroken with a dog door ✔ • Walks beautifully on leash ✔ • Polite, well-behaved house guest ✔ • Expert at giving soft, grateful looks ✔ She enjoys relaxed strolls, cozy naps, and being near her people. She’s the kind of dog who fits seamlessly into your life like she’s always been there. Now, cats are a hard no, sorry cat lovers, she’s not a fan (she believes they are tiny, suspicious aliens), so a feline-free home is a must. But with dogs and humans? She’s an absolute dream. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, go-with-the-flow companion who will make every day brighter just by existing in it, Pixel is ready to be your girl. Apply today and let this two-toned-eyed sweetheart see straight into your heart 💙🤎🐾
