Notes from Polk County Humane Society

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! 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. 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

What happens next

  1. Contact Polk County Humane Society using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Polk County Humane Society, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
