Dog Breed: Border Collie / Labrador Retriever / Mixed.
Class of 2026 Graduate. I am a proud graduate of the Missouri State University Darr College of Agriculture Companion Animal Science Program! Throughout this past semester, I lived, learned, and trained alongside dedicated students who helped build my confidence, manners, and social skills. Thanks to the time, care, and individualized attention I received, I am ready to take the next step: finding a loving forever home. You are cordially invited to celebrate my graduation and meet me in person at our Graduation Ceremony & PetSmart Adoption Event on Saturday, November 14. Adoption applications are now being accepted, and I can't wait to meet the family that will help me begin this exciting new chapter.
My name is Resolve and I am a 35 pound boy that loves to play and cuddle. I will be a great family dog in a home with other dogs, children and even cats if introduced correctly. I am very sweet and a quick learner. I am doing well with my training and can already sit, lay down, spin and more. Potty training is going well with fe accidents. Consistency is the key that will help me succeed.
Someone did a breed test on one of the dogs in my group and it came back with the top two breeds as border collie and lab. That explains my smartness and loveableness!

Interested in adding me to your family? Complete an adoption application at .polkcountyhumanesociety/adopt. You can also schedule an appointment to meet me. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have meet-and-greets scheduled, so appointments help ensure I'll be available when you arrive.
Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but we happily consider adopters from across the United States. If you're not local, you're welcome to travel here to adopt or arrange transportation. All transportation arrangements and expenses are the responsibility of the adopter. Virtual meet-and-greets are available.
