Story
**Meet Marvel**He’s a 1 year old, 35 pound Australian shepherd/Cattle dog mix.Marvel is a sweet, sensitive boy who’s had a tough transition. He lived with his first and only owner until she had to move in with her son, who wouldn’t allow Marvel to come along. Now, the rescue environment is a bit overwhelming for him.He’s a submissive and gentle soul who gets along well with other dogs, but he’s still nervous as he adjusts. Marvel would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and start to relax. If you're looking for a loyal companion, Marvel is ready to steal your heart!IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats.

Story
Hi, I'm Daize. I'm a 1 year old Border Collie mix. My foster says I'm a sweet girl and do really well at their house. I'd love a home where I can love my humans, play, and feel safe! I'm a little shy at first but warm up easily. I just need someone who is willing to give me the time and patience that it takes for me to adjust to a new home.  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 ##2184922##

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!

Hi there, I'm Brody. I'm a handsome young boy just under a year. I was found as a stray so the shelter doesn't know much about me prior to here. I'm sweet and take a little bit to warm up to people.

Story
Hutch is a 45 lb border collie mix. He is a quick learner who is extremely food motivated and knows sit, lie down, settle, come, and heel. His ideal owners would be willing to take him on walks/runs and have a fenced in yard. He is potty trained and roams freely in the house without accidents. He is occasionally reactive to other dogs (especially larger dogs) and we have found that a gentle leader leash will help direct his attention back to you. Needs a proper introduction to dogs, especially those similar or larger in size. Neutered and up to date on all vaccinations and flea treatment. He currently lives with two cats and one smaller dog, and steers clear of the cats. Loves head scratches and belly rubs. When we adopted him he had severe separation anxiety and had frequent accidents in the house. We were told he was previously a “farm dog” and lived with two other dogs and children.

Story
HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet her, please email fosterinquiry@arl-iowa.org.---- Great dog with tons of potential who is looking for a special family who will continue working with her to help her gain confidence and learn that life is full of great things!- Came from an environment where she did not get the normal socialization most puppies get, so new people, places and things can still be scary for her- Has been making progress in her foster home and it has been wonderful to see her gradually open up; we've found she loves predictability and routine- Enjoys chewing on Nylabone-type toys and playing with stuffies and squeaky toys; also likes curling up in a comfy chair or relaxing on the porch- Has become fast friends with the dogs in her foster home and loves to play with them; really lights up around other dogs and we highly recommend that she go to a home with another friendly dog she can learn from and draw confidence from- A real follower who wants to be where everyone else is; no matter where her foster family and their dogs are she'll be there- Has struggled with non-carpeted floors, so her foster family has put down rugs for her; initially was reluctant to climb stairs or go down hallways but has become comfortable with that over time; may still need patience as she adjusts to a new home- Likes to be petted by those she knows, but is still hesitant about fast approaches and initial contact; her foster family makes a point to pet her any time they walk past her, and she has become much more comfortable - even booping them with her nose if they don't pet her right away in the morning- Needs time to get to know new people and may not want to interact initially, but her foster family has found that when they have guests over she gradually becomes comfortable with them- Arrived with no leash experience, and leashes are still very confusing and uncomfortable for her, so she will need continued help with this over time; at this point in her life she probably needs a home with a fenced yard where she can go directly out to potty without having to be leashed- Is a very easy house dog who has been perfect with potty training and has never had an accident; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new routine- Looking for a predictable home with very patient people who understand it will take time for her to settle in; it will be rewarding to gain her trust and watch her blossom!The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and describe our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 56.1 Age: 3yrs 5mths 1wks
