My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello there! I'm Ava, a young Lab mix with a vibrant soul. I'm a sweet girl with the perfect disposition. I can be ready to play and full of energy or we can snuggle on the couch. I'm up for either as long as I'm with my people! I'm curious and love to explore with a tendancy to be an escape artist if left alone outside, but I usually stick around the house and will stay in a fenced area as long as I have someone to play with. I'd do fine living on acreage, leash walked, or with a nice sturdy fence. I would be the perfect dog for a family with children of all ages.I also get along great with other canine friends and enjoy playing with them too. I'm in a foster home, so follow the steps below to meet 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 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

Go meet their pets

Our Shelter is open every day from 10am-4pm, except Sundays. On Sundays, we are open from noon-4pm.

We are open for walk-ins, but we recommend appointments because some of our pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment with another potential adopter. We just don't want you to come to our location and be disappointed if you can't meet a pet you are interested in.

You can select an appointment time using this link: https://koalendar.com/e/meet-and-greet-appointment.
