Story
About Luke Luke is a very loving, almost 4-year-old dog. I adopted him when he was 12 weeks old from a rescue that saved his mom and litter. He has been a wonderful part of our family ever since. Luke has lots of love and energy and would thrive with a family or individual who has the time to play with him and give him attention. He would do best in a home with a yard where he can run around and burn off his energy. He gets along great with both big and small dogs and has been wonderful with my one-year-old child, though like many energetic dogs he doesn’t always realize how big he is. Luke is house trained and crate trained, and his crate is his safe space. He loves attention, cuddles, and being around people. He has no medical issues. He does have a slightly sensitive stomach, so he does best on a low-fat gastrointestinal dog food that keeps his tummy happy. We are looking for a very loving and well-suited home where Luke will get the time, attention, and activity he deserves

Story
She’s a gentle, sensitive pup who needs a little time to feel safe, but once she trusts you, she enjoys peaceful walks and settling into a calm routine. Her previous owner shared that she’s potty trained and crate trained, which makes her an easy companion at home.Because she can be timid and unsure around new people, she’s looking for an experienced adopter—ideally someone familiar with shy dogs—and a quiet home with kids 13+ who can move slowly and help her build confidence.With patience and kindness, she’ll blossom into a loyal, steady friend.

Story
Toby is the most loving dog ever! Here is the good; he just wants to be around you all the time. He gets along with everyone, kids, dogs and cats. He is super super super friendly and loves his ears rubbed. He understands sit, stay, go outside, no, get down, stop licking, come on, lets go, are you hungry, It's Friday...do you want a bone, and stop barking. He does beg a bit, but you just have to tell him to "go lay down". Now the Bad; you can't leave food on any surface, including kitchen counters or tables, he will get up on them. You can't leave bathroom doors open, he will eat the toilet paper. All trash cans have to have lids, he won't tip them over, but he will get into them if they are open. He likes to bark but a bark collar fixes it...barks at squirrels, the doorbell, when someone is at the door even if he knows them (more of an excited bark). He does not do well at dog parks, he likes to hump other dogs. He is male so he likes to mark his territory.

Story
If your ideal weekend involves hiking trails, playing fetch, or just staying on the move, Rockey is ready to lace up his sneakers and join you! True to his name, Rockey has a "rock-solid" spirit and enough energy to keep the fun going all day long. He’s a very sweet athlete who hasn't met a mountain he couldn't climb or a toy he couldn't chase. But the best part about Rockey? Once the sun goes down and the energy is spent, he transforms into a world-class snuggler. He’s looking for a home that can keep up with his pace and match his huge heart. 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 ##2676116##
