3. Blackie

Adult · Male · Labrador Retriever / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed · 14 mi from Pleasant Hope

Hi, I'm Blackie! I'm a 5 year old sweet Lab mix with a great personality. I'm a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. I'm currently in a foster home awaiting my chance at a forever home. Can that be with you?This big hearted boy was found wandering the road on 64 near HH in Goodson. It appears that he was abandoned. He has a lot of personal love and attention to give a loving, caring family. He is a true couch potato at heart and just wants a safe place to live and a warm lap to lay his head on. He takes a bath and daily brushings well, walks on a leash great, gets along with my two Goldens and sleeps on the bed with us.

His teeth are bright white, he is in awesome shape, and loves to take walks several times a day with his new pack. He is starting to play and does not bark unless warning of people at the door or while playing with the other pups. He knows and obeys commands, stays on trail, loves treats and is highly trainable. He just wants to please. He is still a bit scared but is quickly getting over losing his home. Please consider this gentleman if you are looking for a loving companion!Interested in adding me to your family? Complete an adoption application at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt.

Hi, I'm Lumen! I've had a rough life, but thankfully these nice people rescued me. The first time I was here a few years ago I came from a big rescue with several other dogs. I was covered in mange and therefore why I have some bald patches and scarring on my face and body.Through no fault of my own I'm back at the shelter again, but I haven't let that dim my spirit at all! I'm a sweet girl and love to play! I've got a goofy personality and need to be your one and only pet. I seem to be potty-trained and walking on a leash is super easy for me. Can you look past my different features and love me for my amazing soul?

Hi, I’m Buckeye! I’m a 3½-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix, and at around 40 lbs, I’m the perfect size for just about anything. I can be a little shy when I first meet new people, but the nice folks here are helping me learn that new friends can be pretty great. Honestly, it doesn’t take me long to warm up—especially if you have treats! Once I get to know you, I’m all in. I’ll stick to you like glue and happily accept hugs, kisses, and any opportunity to be close to my people. I’m an active guy (it’s the Cattle Dog in me!) and I love to play, but I also know how to settle down and enjoy some quality cuddle time.

13. Cheech

Adult · Male · Labrador Retriever / American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed · 14 mi from Pleasant Hope

Hi there! I'm Cheech and I am a 4 year old Lab/Bully mix. I was at the city pound for almost a whole year with no luck at finding my forever home. I was brought to PCHS in hopes of getting a better chance of being adopted. I'm a sweet boy and just need someone to teach me some manners. I'm highly food and treat motivated and have already got sit down pat, so I'm excited to know of all the other things I can learn! I seem to do okay with other dogs but would need a proper introduction to be safe. Cats on the other hand seem a little too interesting so I'd be best to go to a home without kitty friends.

I do good with children too! I'm not sure if I am housetrained, but I am used to a doggy door and do great with that so I'm sure once I get a set potty-schedule in a home I'll do just fine.

Hi, I'm Karma, a beautiful who girl has been through some changes lately. They say what goes around comes around, and in this case, it’s a whole lot of love! I'm a very sweet girl with a heart even bigger than my waistline lol. I'm supposed to be around 35 lbs...but I'm currently a "full-figured" lady, weighing 94 lbs...However, I'm more than ready to start my fitness journey with a partner who loves to walk as much as they love to cuddle. I don't let my extra curves slow down my spirit. I'm a social, happy soul who believes that life is meant to be enjoyed—preferably with a slow stroll through the park and a lot of belly rubs.
