My story

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

Hi I'm Maximus (Max) and I LOVE life! I am a happy guy and everyone is my friend whether they talk, bark or meow. Ok, the meows kind of scare me so I may avoid them. I'm an Australian Cattle Dog puppy and am about 9-10 months old and am a great size at only 37 pounds! I love to please my people so I love guidance and love learning! I'd love to share life's adventures and lots of snuggles with you! When I'm old enough I can even be a running buddy! If you have a fenced in yard then woohoo I love outside play time! 

My favorite things are first and foremost people....I love love love people! Hmmmm, I wonder if I could fit in your shirt? I sure might try so I can go everywhere together! I also love to play with other dogs, my toys, chew on bones, get belly rubs and cuddles and to sleep in the arms of my foster mama! I live with dogs from 35 pounds to 160 pounds,  absolutely love kids, and as for cats but they scare the dickens out of me.., although, I'm not sure what the dickens is, but I do just try to ignore them! I'd be super duper happy if you have another dogs to help wear me out then I'll happily settle in with my people! Also, I'm such a good boy when lights go out, so do I! Plus I sleep through the night! 

I'm potty trained and crate training.  I'll go in my crate fine but don't really love it so may cry or bark for a few minutes. My foster mom ignores me, so I do eventually quiet down but NO APARTMENTS for me please! 

My hobby is training/learning and I love working for treats.  I'm really good at "sit" and "down",  "dance" and am trying hard to"stay" even though my hiney keeps wiggling with joy. I promise to keep your home full of joy, love and goofiness so please pick me, pick me, pick me (visualize...my paw is currently up in the air)!!!  Apply at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org

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!!
