Story
Shyla here! I am an 8-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix. I`m a very active and adventurous girl! I absolutely LOVE playing in the backyard and going on lots of walks. Laying in the sunshine is my favorite place to be! A backyard would be a huge bonus for me in my future home. I would love to be your one and only baby so I can receive all your attention! I promise I have lots of love to give. I enjoy my pals here at the Humane Society, but I am so ready for my forever home! Can you help me find one? People walk by my kennel every day but don`t give me a chance... please meet me outside my kennel, and you`ll see I`m a good girl with a a huge heart!

Story
Vinnie is a delightful canine companion who`s always ready for a day of play! With his friendly disposition and adorable self, he`s sure to bring joy to his future household. As a 4-year-old 56lb Pit Bull mix, Vinnie has loads of energy. He`s an athletic fellow that enjoys the company of female dogs. What can we say - he`s a ladies man! His ideal home environment is one without cats and kids. He`s such a goofy bundle of energy that he may be a bit much for young children, but he would make a great hiking or running partner for an individual or couple. Vinnie`s got a fun and spunky personality - on top of being oh so sweet - and is so ready to meet his match! He`s house-trained and up-to-date on vaccinations, and he`s also neutered and microchipped. Fill out an adoption application in person or online at SWH.ORG to meet this handsome man.

Story
Irma is a 10-year-old Pittie mix with a smile that lights up the room! She was found as a stray, and she has so much love she`s ready to give a forever human. Her sweet nature is complemented by her mellow and goofy personality. She`s very playful, and she loves to engage in tug-of-war matches with her favorite rope toys! When she`s not playing, you`ll find her basking in the sun. At age 10, she isn`t super active, so she would be a great companion for someone looking for a dog that is still playful and spunky but does not require tons of exercise.

Story
Sweet, mellow tempered dog who loves to play. She will play rough with other dogs but is not aggressive. Loves to run. She loves cuddles and will want to sleep on your bed with you. If you don't have round handles on your doors you will need something to keep your bedroom door shut, otherwise she opens the door, pulls back your blanket and sheets and will sleep on your pillows. Responsive to her name, nicknames, commands, and cues. She understands not to pass the yellow grids on the sidewalk and will go when you say "cross" and stop at "wait". She pulls the leash but has gotten better. I have little time for her, which has caused her to take special interest in the sliding glass door where she'll bark at neighbors passing by. When we go on our daily walk she has a lot of energy, so she pulls, wants to smell everything, and does zoomies in the small dog park. I would like for her to have a yard to play in. She's not sensitive to the cold, but will need coconut oil for her dry skin.

Story
Trump showed up at a friends house in the country, and I had just recently gotten out of a longterm sick bed, waiting to be able to walk a pup well enough wen I got one, I quickly volunteered to bring him here and do my bess to have him, He is quite amazing, he just young aprox 20 mths and like to pull a bit to hard for me to handle. I have kept him a couple mths, he is so sweet and loving, however wen I got him I wondered if he would be, he had been shot thru his back leg muscle and had some wounds, (at same time Pres trump.was shot at and they missed, so hence his name) like he had been abused in some way..But he passed being nervous, very fast and he is a perfect emotional support pup, I personally can not handle his strength. I am havin neck and back issues, and it sadly is makin it worse wen we walk..please considee his sweet heart..

Story
DOB: 4/20/2019 Breed:  Pit Bull Terrier Personality: Meet Antonia, a sweet and loving girl with so much affection to give! This gentle soul adores attention and can't resist a good belly rub. She thrives on human interaction and would be the perfect companion for someone who loves to cuddle and spend quality time together. Antonia has a unique personality—while she’s incredibly loving, she can become stressed when caged near other dogs. In those moments, she may feel overwhelmed and has occasionally nipped out of fear. However, when she's kept in a calm environment away from that stress, Antonia blossoms into the affectionate, gentle girl she truly is. Because of her sensitivity, Antonia would do best in a home with an experienced adopter who understands her needs. With the right person, she’ll be the most loyal and loving companion, ready to fill your days with love and joy. If you’re looking for a sweet, special dog who just needs a little extra care, Antonia is your girl!

Story
Hey, I'm Cheerio! I came to the shelter from a really neglectful situation. I was super skinny, tethered to a heavy chain, and kept outside. Luckily, I got rescued and made my way here to PCHS where they have taken good care of me. I have gained 20+ lbs and am much better! I am an absolute sweetheart and love people. I've had a rough start in life but I'm hoping a special someone will come along and see the good in 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 ##2196587##

Story
He was rescued by a friend off the streets and they brought him to me. I just don't have the time and space for another dog right now and I'm leaving the country for 2 weeks. Hes got separation anxiety so he just needs time and attention. Hes a great dog. High energy around people but calms down quickly and is a great cuddler!

Story
I adopted Dunkin from Houston, Tx when I was a trucker. He spent 4 years on a truck with me until we got a home. He just turned 8 (March 10). Unfortunately life hasn’t been kind to me and I’m forced to find him a new home. Suitable home would be a big yard where he can run and play. To be honest, he is aggressive when it comes to strangers and other animals, especially cats. When it’s one on one or with people he’s comfortable with, he is a big baby. Once he gets to know you, he is such a loving dog, loves to cuddle. He wasn’t trained and that’s my fault. He does have a loud bark and gets aggressive. But, he makes an excellent guard dog. He stopped a break in once. I love him with all my heart but I do need to find him a home. He’s unique and hoping to find his new home.
