Story
Professor Fuzzelbum is a 3MO, 7lb little Terrier/Dachshund mix (we guess?) Professor Fuzzelbum and his 6 siblings were surrendered to an overcrowded shelter in Texas with their terrified, sweet Momma.  The shelter is no place for any dog, especially a little family, so we agreed to intake them into our rescue where they could go straight to a foster home.  Professor Fuzzelbum and his siblings have all been well socialized, vetted, and are ready to find their forever families now!  All these little kiddos love other dogs and people.  We are guessing they are going to be about 15-20lbs when full grown (their mom weighs 13lbs).   If you are interested in adding Professor Fuzzelbum or one of his siblings to your family, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2700804##

Story
The "Nutty" Litter: Small Pups, Big Hearts! If you’re looking to add a little extra flavor to your life, look no further than this handful of sweetness! Walnut, Pecan, and Almond are a trio of very sweet puppies who are currently out of their shells and ready to sprout in their forever homes. 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 ##2700927##
