Story
Hello there, I'm Franklin! I'm as sweet as a sugar cookie and friendly as your best pal. My heart is full of gentle kindness and cuddly warmth. I'm always ready for a belly rub or a good old game of fetch. I'm loyal too, like a true companion. I promise to be there for you, through thick and thin, always wagging my tail in joy. I may be living in a shelter now, but what I really want is a forever home. Why should you adopt me? Well, imagine having a friend who loves you unconditionally, who's always excited to see you, and who can turn even a regular walk into an adventure. That's me, Franklin! 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 ##2231302##
