My story

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

Tia got her first groom last Friday and did great! This special girl has come so far since joining rescue.
Tia is a 10yr old Maltese mix who was surrendered from a puppy mill back in November. Shes been working in her socializing and learning what a house is. Tia is not your typical dog. She does well with puppy pads and does enjoy her outside time. Tia is still learning that humans are ok. And we don't blame her. When you spend the first 7yrs of your life in a puppy mill; it changes you. Thankfully her puppy having days are over. Tia is fully vetted. She will require a calm home with understanding people who get that shes not a lap dog. Her family will need to understand that she has to take things at her pace. Her kennel is her safe spot. She loves to watch her foster siblings and resident dogs from the comfort of her doggy bed in the safety of her kennel. She's been thru somethings and patience is the key with her. Her trust cant be rushed, it has to be earned. She would do best with another dog her size for a companion that she can learn from. She maybe older but she deserves to live the rest of her life in comfort and safety. With unconditional love, patience and understanding.

More about this rescue

Happy Paws Plattsmouth is a volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) charitable organization serving Cass, Sarpy, and Douglas Counties with one mission: to transform the lives of animals in need while enriching the families who welcome them home.
We operate entirely through volunteer efforts and the generosity of our community. Our funding comes exclusively from grants, fundraising events, and individual donations—we receive no state or federal assistance. We do not receive any money from any municipalities, counties or state. The grants we currently receive are from foundations that are not part of the city government.

Every donation, foster home, and adoption directly impacts our ability to save more animals and support more families in our community.
All our animals are fostered, and we do not have a brick and mortar location.
