Hello, my name is Finn! I am a 2 year old boy who looks to be a German Shepherd/Black Mouth Cur mix but the shelter isn't sure (they just guessed based on my looks!) I've been at the Bolivar City Pound since December of last year, and now I'm at PCHS in hopes of getting more looks... I'm very sweet, playful and energetic guy who would love for you to take me home so we can play, play, play. I will make a very nice addition to your home. I do great on a leash and seem to have the hang on being potty-trained. I tend to chase kitty cats, so a home without cats is a must! However, I do good with other dogs when introduced properly! Give me my second chance. If you're interested in adopting Finn, fill out an adoption application online at polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt show less

Hey...I am Fischer! Thank you for taking a moment to read more about me. As my name suggests, I loooove the water! On a hot summer day, you can find me splashing in the kiddie pool or playing with the hose! Who doesn't love playing in the water? I am looking for a swimming buddy, fishing mate or if you need a lifeguard, I am your guy. The staff tells me I need some more confidence. I am working on it, but know the right family will build it right up. I really like other dogs, but takes me a little time to feel comfortable - might be the confidence thing. If you're looking to add some energy into your life, look no further! I'm full of energy and can't wait to play with you. I can't wait to meet you. The results are in! Our breed test show we are 27% American Pit Bull Terrier, 25% German Shepherd, 12% American Staffordshire Terrier, 11% Bloodhound, 8% Labrador Retriever, 5% American Bulldog, 4% Boxer, 4% Basset Hound, 2% Boston Terrier, and 2% Chow Chow! Which equals out to be 100% very good dogs! To apply to adopt from Polk County Humane Society, you can use the adoption application, process and links that you will find on this page: polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have a meet & greet scheduled, so be sure you have looked at our adoption process, completed the adoption application and use the link on that page to request an appointment before you come to the Humane Society. Our adoption application form is simple and there is a place for you to ask any questions you have about our pets on the form. We look forward to receiving your adoption application and setting up a meet and greet soon. show less

Hi, my name is Gypsy! I look to be around 1 year and 1/2 and I look to be a Cane Corso/Matiff mix but the shelter isn't sure. My right eye has an old injury to it, so the vet said there is nothing that needs to be done to it. However, I can't really see out of it so at times I can get a bit startled if I don't see you. I'm a very sweet, loyal, and smart dog, but I do take some time to warm up to you. I'm currently in a foster home and my foster says that I would do best if I met any potiential adopters more than once just to feel extra comfortable. I love other dogs and I do good with cats too. I'm potty-trained and do pretty good on a leash. I can jump a fence so a home with acreage or leash walkig is probably best.  If you're interested in adopting Gypsy, fill out an adoption application online at polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt and the shelter will get you in contact with my foster! show less

Hi I'm Jackson! I was found injured on the side of the highway. I was not feeling good and not sure what was going to happen. But, I am so grateful that I was found by someone fabulous who cared for me to give me a second chance. She is my angel. I am feeling better now and grateful that I can tell you more about me. I love everyone. I love attention (who doesn't), hugs and I know I will give you so much love.I am goofy and sometimes I don't know what to do with my excitement when I meet people. I'm a great all around boy, I make the staff laugh, give nibbles and excited to find my perfect home. I look forward to meeting you. If you are intersted in meeting Jackson, please submit an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt show less

Hi there!! I'm Jagger! I'm an adorable Boxer/Bulldog mix with the best personalility! I love to play and be around people, I'm quite the social butterfly. I seem to be housetrained and I do good with other dogs. I am a bit on the active side so I'd love to have room to run around and play. I can jump a 4 foot fence so I'd need a bigger fence just in case.  I'm currently in a foster home and my foster mom says I'm the best dog around! I ride great in the car too.  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 request an appointment to meet me. 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 Minneapolis, MN areas at least 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 and we will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veteinarian ($35). Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! show less

Hi, I'm Keebler! I'm came to the shelter with 13 other friends from a hoarding situation. We were covered in fleas and had some bad skin issues, which resulted in me to loose most of my hair. The shelter had me all checked out and ow I'm all healthy, although it will take time for my hair to grow back. I'm very sweet and love attention. I do good with oter dogs and cats but I am subuissive and will take a bit to get my confidence.  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 request an appointment to meet me.
