Story
My name is Chap and I am a brown & black mastiff. I am a neutered male and I am 8 years old. I was transferred here from another shelter/rescue through the Ames Animal Shelter`s Third Chance program on 03/08/2025. I was left abandoned at that other shelter by my owner, and I waited at that shelter for a home for a year. I am potty trained. I am a medium energy dog and I will need an owner with some prior pet owning experience. I am a very good boy, but I`m a large guy and that requires you to have the space and accommodations for me to be comfortable. The shelter staff is not sure if I am used to being crated during the day, but I am comfortable in my kennel at the shelter. I do pull when walked on the leash and am very strong, so I`ll need a strong owner! A fenced yard would be a great way to let me exercise, but is not required. Due to my large size and tendency to boss around other creatures, the shelter staff will not place me in a home with other pets or children under 14 years old. Being in my golden years, I think I`ve earned the right to be the center of your world in my new home!All dogs are tested for heartworms and given flea preventatives. They are also tested for intestinal parasites and receive routine dewormings. Dogs are vaccinated against distemper, rabies, and bordetella, spayed/neutered before adoption, and have a microchip. Adoption fees include the initial automated registration of the microchip at the time of adoption.

Story
Are you looking for a life-long love? I'm sure to make your heart skip a beat with these longing eyes! Hey there, I'm Valentino! I've had a rough start in life as my owners moved and decided to leave my brother and I behind. We don't let it bother us as we know we will find our forever homes soon. We look to be a mix of Mastiff/Lab but the shelter isn't sure. Will you paw-lease adopt me?  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 ##2287925##

Story
Meet Siggy – Your Loyal, Loving GuardianSiggy is a gorgeous 2-year-old brindle Great Pyrenees mix weighing 82 pounds. She is incredibly sweet, especially with children of all ages (incl. rambunctious toddlers) and gets along well with other dogs in the home. True to her breed mix, Siggy is both intelligent and protective—once you’re part of her pack, she will be fiercely devoted and always have your back.As a Pyrenees, and what we believe to be a Catahoula mix, she has strong guardian instincts. She is deeply bonded to her family “pack”, and is naturally protective. She isn’t aggressive but is true to her instincts as a protector. She’s also very submissive/eager to please—she learns quickly and never needs harsh discipline to understand what’s expected of her.Siggy does have some separation anxiety, but she does fine when she has another dog around for company while her humans are away.While Siggy is incredibly affectionate with her family, she isn’t a fan of crowded public places or strangers approaching her and her “pack”. However, if given the chance to approach others on her own terms, she is gentle and sweet. She would do best in a home that understands and respects her protective nature- one that provides the proper introduction to guests, and provides enough yard space to be a mostly stay-at-home dog, where she can love on, sunbathe, and protect, her family.Commands she knows:-sit-shake-leave it-drop itIf you’re looking for a fiercely loyal, intelligent, and loving companion who will always be by your side, Siggy is the perfect match.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. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.May 5, 2025, 11:29 am
