Story
We have had Lady since she was a puppy. She is so loyal and constantly makes us laugh. She loves to chase her tail and always has to find you a “gift” (toy) to bring you when you get home because she is so excited. Lady can be laidback when she needs to be but also loves to play and run wild. She loves balls and stuffed animals. She would play fetch every second for the rest of her life if you’d let her. She is due for her shots but we will plan to get those done before you adopt her. Lady would do best in a home with adults only or families with older kids. She loves our 2 year old so much but occasionally our toddler would do something to mess with her and she has nipped at her. She does love to play with kids but I think she would do best with kids that are a little older that can understand what not to do with a dog. Lady does not like other dogs, which is ultimately why we are having to rehome her. She has snapped at our small dog a few times over food.

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
**Courtesy Post ** Chevy is a 40lb Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. She loves playing fetch and catching the frisbee. She loves everyone she meets. She would do very well in a no kid household. She could also do well in a household with another dog, but doesn’t know sharing is caring so she just needs to learn how to share her toys. She is kennel trained (prefers to sleep in her kennel at night), housebroken, knows to sit, lay, paw/shake, leave it, and has been working on release. She does well going out into public settings and LOVES going to Home Depot. She's a plant girl. She loves swimming and playing in the water. She is high energy and needs a fenced in yard that she can run in. If you are interested in adopting Chevy or have any questions, please email aashleypickett@gmail.com Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 23, 2026, 8:27 pm

Story
Meet Cashew and Pistachio, two Heeler/Mini Aussie pups who are every bit as delightful as their names. These siblings are the perfect blend of bright Aussie brains and loyal Heeler hearts — quick to learn, eager to please, and already showing off their natural smarts. They’re sweet, peopleoriented pups who love attention, playtime, and snuggles in equal measure. Whether they’re trotting after you with those expressive little faces or curling up for a cuddle, they make it impossible not to fall in love. Cashew and Pistachio are ready to grow into devoted companions for families who want a dog that’s both clever and affectionate. They’ll thrive with someone who enjoys training, play, and giving them the love they deserve. If you’re looking for a pair of cuties who will brighten every day, come meet Cashew and Pistachio — they’re ready to crack your heart wide open. 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 ##2716922##
