Story
Meet Martini – The Sweetest Companion You’ll Ever Find! Martini is an adorable, mellow pup with a heart full of love and curiosity. While she may share her name with a sophisticated cocktail, Martini is more like a comforting craft beer on a warm summer day—laid-back with little bursts of playful energy. She’s ready to find a forever home that offers plenty of cuddles and affection! Her Highlights New People: A little shy at first but warms up quickly with love and patience. Children: Does great with kids! Food Removal: No food aggression—good manners. Dogs: Gets along wonderfully with other dogs and respects their space. Cats & Other Pets: Unknown with cats, but has done well with other pets. Personality: Friendly, mellow, and a cuddle enthusiast. She’s curious and loves exploring but happiest snuggled up with her human. Energy Level: Medium – she enjoys bursts of playtime but is equally content relaxing by your side. Potty Training: Making good progress! Signals when she needs to go out but still has the occasional accident. Leash Manners: Still learning but improving daily. A Little More About Martini Martini is a curious and affectionate pup who loves to spend time with her people. She’s playful and excited to explore, whether that means a long walk, a hike, or running around to let out some energy. At the end of the day, her favorite spot is cuddling right next to you, soaking up all the love and attention. Martini responds well to treats and understands “no,” proving she’s a quick learner. She’s comfortable meeting other dogs and is respectful of their space but also eager to find her “dog tribe” to play with. Potty training is coming along nicely, and she’s learning to signal when she needs to go outside. While Martini is generally quiet, she may bark when left alone, especially in her crate. She’s working on crate training and some puppy habits, like jumping on people, but these are minor quirks that can be easily addressed with a little patience and love. If there’s one word to describe Martini, it’s “sweetness.” Her foster mom says she’s the ultimate dream dog—and she’s fostered plenty of pups to know! If you’re looking for a loving, mellow companion with a sprinkle of playful energy, Martini is ready to be your best friend. ##2277303##

Meet Grande – The Perfect Blend of Cuddles and Playfulness! Hi there! I’m Grande, a sweet and snuggly puppy who’s ready to find my forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion with a touch of charm, I might just be your perfect match! My Highlights New People: I love meeting new friends—people are the best! Children: Unknown but I’m friendly and adaptable. Food Removal: I have great manners—no food aggression here. Dogs: I get along well with my foster brother and enjoy playtime, but I’m still learning about sharing and picking up on play signals. Cats & Other Pets: Unknown, but I’m curious and open to new experiences. Personality: Outgoing, friendly, and incredibly affectionate—I’m a major cuddle bug! Energy Level: High—I love playtime and adventures but also enjoy winding down with snuggles. Potty Training: I’m doing great! I need to go out often since I’m still little, but I haven’t had any accidents in my foster home. Leash Manners: Excellent—I walk politely and love exploring with my humans. A Little More About Me The #1 thing you should know about me is that I love cuddles. I’m sweet, affectionate, and incredibly loyal to my people. I’m confident yet cautious—I’ll settle into your home quickly, but big noises or new places might make me hesitate at first. Don’t worry; I’ll warm up fast with a little encouragement. Some of my favorite activities include sitting in your lap, eating snow, stealing my foster brother’s bone, following you around the house, and, of course, borrowing your slippers for a quick game of keep-away. I’ve got great manners! I’m potty trained, have excellent leash skills, and am starting to get comfortable in my crate. I’m still a young, busy boy, but I’m eager to please and love learning new things—especially when treats are involved. I’m already working on basic commands and routines, and I’m a quick study! I get along wonderfully with my foster brother. We love playing in the backyard, going on walks, and snuggling on the couch. I’m still figuring out how to share and read play signals, but he’s patient with my puppy antics, and I absolutely adore him. When it comes to my humans, I’m a true lovebug. Whether we’re cuddling on the couch, taking a walk, or working from home together, I just want to be close to you. I’ll happily hang out while you work (as long as I have something good to chew on) and stay nearby for snuggles and companionship. Why Choose Me? If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and delightful companion who’s already got the basics down and is ready to learn more, I’m your pup! I’ll bring love, joy, and plenty of cuddles to your life, and I can’t wait to meet my forever family. Will you be the one to give me the loving home I’ve been dreaming of? ##2284328##

Story
Meet our shy, sweet little puppy, Vino, or V for short! At just 5 months old, she’s already won our hearts with her big, soulful golden eyes that melt everyone who looks her way. Though a bit timid, she’s incredibly gentle and enjoys the quiet comfort of her crate, where she sleeps soundly through the night. During the day, she tends to stay close to her safe space but occasionally ventures out to see what’s going on, always ready to retreat back to her cozy den when she feels unsure. She’s got a curious spirit, especially when it comes to our resident dog. She watches with great interest, eager to join in the fun and play, though she’s still figuring out the best way to interact. With time and patience, we know she’ll come out of her shell more and more, becoming the playful and affectionate companion we know she’s meant to be. Until then, we’re just enjoying watching her grow at her own sweet pace. ##2284330##

Can't decide if you want a Boxer or a Golden Retriever? Well, look no more - we have solved your problem! We are Golden Boxers. Our momma was a Golden Retriever and our dad was a Boxer. We didn't get our momma's golden color (we are all black with some goldenish tints) but, no worries - we will still have friendly nature of the Golden and the goofiness of the Boxer. You can't go wrong with this mix. We are still pretty young, but we will be able to go to homes after Wednesday, February 19. We can be pre-adopted in the meantime, so hurry on to complete an adoption application so you won't miss our on me!We are also named for essential oils - that is because we have these great effects on the people around us: 1) boosting mood, 2) aiding weight loss (walk, anyone?), 3) boosting energy levels, 4) some even say we have anti-aging effects, and, of course 5) aphrodiasiac  . . . aren't you in love with me already? 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 ##2264383##
