My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oh, Skip, you Big Handsome! We love you to pieces but dude we need to talk big time! So pull up those big boy pants then sit and stay! 

Me, "So young man you seem to have it all! You are happy, loving, super smart, cuddly, and handsome but I gotta ask what is up with you and other dogs?" 

Skipster, "I don't want to talk about it!" 

Me, "Tough! Now spill it mister or no treats today!" 

Skippy, "OK fine, whatever! So here's the deal I lived my whole life on a short chain in a hell hole backyard by myself. So now when I'm getting 2 square meals a day, lots of delicious treats and loads of attention, why would I want to share?! Jeez I will happily walk by them but I'm NOT gonna live with 'em and you can't make me!"

I was frustrated at first after talking to Skiparoo but then I really thought about it. And you know what? It's OK! Not all dogs like other dogs and they can be happy. Just like not all dogs love cats and in fact some get eaten. Heck, I don't always like all people so I sometimes avoid them!

Skip might be a jerk to other dogs, but he's our jerk and we love him as he is and we hope someone out there will too! His good qualities far outweigh the bad in the end! So if you have no other pets and a 6 foot fence, plus if you have lots of love to give, want a goofy forever best friend to share adventures with, and a soft snuggly bedwarmer to open your heart to, then you have found your dog. Skip the Handsome! Please share this post far and wide as this boy is so deserving of a chance to know love in his own home! Apply at: https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org/adoption-application. We are looking for an ADOPTER or a FOSTER!

ADOPTION FEE $250 and his trainer will be available for follow ups for his whole life, as she too loves this big lug!

 




PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION AT: https://havenanimalrescuenebraska.org/adoption-application

We do not have a facility. All of our animals are in volunteer foster homes. Once an application is pre-approved (contingent upon a home check) we will contact applicants that are a good match and set up a time for a meet. At that time we are happy to answer all of your questions. No inquiries prior to that please. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, examined by a vet, up-to-date on vaccinations, on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchipped. We adopt our animals as strictly inside companion pets. We will do a veterinarian reference check and a home safety check. We are located in Omaha, NE and we do not ship our animals. We are all volunteers so please be patient with us. Our requested adoption fees help go towards medical expenses, food, transportation, toys, and other supplies for our animals. We are a state licensed, 501c3 nonprofit rescue and the adoption donation may be tax deductible for you.  Thank you for choosing adoption!!
