Story
Hi there, I'm Klover! I'm still young and full of life, always ready for a game of fetch or a long walk. I've got energy to spare, but don't worry, I'm smart too! I learn new tricks quickly and I'm always eager to please. I'm also really friendly. I love meeting new people and I get along well with other dogs. Playtime is my favorite, whether it's a game of tug-of-war or just running around. But after a day of fun, I love nothing more than cuddling up for a good night's sleep. So why should you adopt me? Well, besides my sweet nature and playful spirit, I promise to be your loyal companion, your best friend, and the best part of your day, every day. I can't wait to meet you! 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 ##2247406##

Story
He’s a big sweetie Velcro dog who loves butt scratches and knuckles ear rubs. He’s great on leash and following commands, would be a great show dog if that’s what you’re into, though you may have to get him back in shape! He likes to cuddle and sleep on the bed, and he might lick you a little too much.. but he usually stops if you tell him to… sometimes it’s easier to cave in 😂 Apollo has been our dog for the past 7 years. We adopted him at 6 months from a local breeder, but it was immediately clear he had behavioral issues, he can be aggressive with strangers, and is especially anxious around kids. Regardless we chose to give him the best life that we could, but unfortunately his behavior toward our toddler has not improved in the last 18 months and we’ve been forced to keep them separated. This type of life is unfitting of such an otherwise caring dog. A home w/o pets or children is probably best, though he loves boarding and tolerates our other dog.
