Story
Fawn & Lily are a bonded mother daughter pair, with Fawn at 7 years old and her daughter Lily at 3, and they’ve made it very clear they want to stay together forever. They currently live comfortably with other dogs and cats, though when a cat first enters the room Lily may loudly announce her presence before quickly settling in. Lily can be a little barky and slightly more shy at first, often taking her cues from her confident mom, but within about five minutes, both girls will be curled up in your lap soaking up attention. Both dogs are potty pad trained in the house. Fawn does an excellent job of going outside exclusively, while Lily is still learning and may rely on potty pads more often. In a new home, especially one with carpet, we do expect there may be a few accidents at first until they’re fully settled and trained to the routine. They kennel well when needed and happily share cozy spaces, especially dog beds where they love to snuggle up together. Their affectionate personalities are tough to pass up and they are devoted cuddle bugs who crave human connection. If you stop petting them, expect some gentle finger nibbling as a reminder that the love session isn’t over yet. Fawn and Lily are the kind of dogs who bring double the love into a home, and they’re ready to find a family who will cherish them together. If this duo seems like they'd be a good fit in your home, apply to adopt at the link below! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdy9NUdRzsagXgNJ7xhCHp5LZnTUYFxN-2jh4HgXKTou9k-tA/viewform

3 year old purebred Chihuahua. He is mostly house trained, he only try’s to mark things. Getting him neutered should eliminate that issue.

Story
Meet Ernie. Tiny body, BIG personality! HE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION UNTIL AFTER 2/8/26 WHEN HE MAKES HIS DEBUT DURING THE PUPPY BOWL!   Born approximately November 3rd 2025, Ernie is a 3 lb Chihuahua mix who is already convinced he’s one of the big dogs. Ernie’s life didn’t begin easily; he and his littermate were found abandoned as babies in a rural apartment, but you’d never know it by his joyful spirit. Don’t let his size fool you… this little guy is full of confidence, curiosity, and charm. Like all puppies, Ernie loves to play hard and then snuggle harder. In his foster home, he can often be found chasing the resident dogs, determined to prove he belongs in the “big boys club.” When playtime is over, he happily curls up for a well earned nap.   Ernie is a smart and spicy little nugget who is catching on quickly. He eats like a champ, sleeps through the night in his crate, and is working on potty training (hey… little dog, little poop ). He’s doing great with the children in his foster home, but due to his tiny size, a home without very young kiddos would be best. This spunky, affectionate boy will make a fun, loving companion for one lucky forever family.   Ernie is up to date on vaccines and vetting, microchipped, on preventatives, and will be neutered at our expense at one of our partner vets when age appropriate. His adoption donation fee is $450. Please apply in the dropdown menu directly on our website at https://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!! January 19, 2026, 9:34 pm

Story
Scott   Located in Sidney NE area 4-5 years old Chihuahua fusion  Dog friendly  Cat friendliness unknown but likely fine  Kid friendly as long as the kids have dog manners  House trained Crate trained and knows a couple commands  ‍Loves his momma (Phyllis) but would be ok without her as long as there was another dog  Fully vetted  15lbs approx    This adorable lil man is Scott and he is literally the most adorable, friendly, sweet, social and all American boy there is. This boy doesn't have many Chihuahua personality traits and has turned his fosters frown upside down on many occasions and she's not even a huge chihuahua fan. We aren't sure what he is mixed with but it's created chihuahua perfection. He is so playful and full of life and gumption. He can get along with about anyone and has met several dogs of different sizes, both genders, various ages and he's been great with everyone. He is playful so if you want a constantly chill dog this isn't your lil man, however he also is far from hyper. I would hope that his home would have another smaller playful dog.    If you think this sweet and dapper lil man could be a good fit for your pack please contact us!  $200.00 Adoption Fee  (Which is considered a non refundable donation and being we are a 501c3 organization it is tax deductible. The fee itself is not negotiable, our vets don't negotiate and thus neither do we.)   WE DO NOT HAVE A FACILITY ALL OUR DOGS ARE LOCATED IN FOSTER HOMES. This means there is no place for you to go in person to view our dogs. We ask that an application be filled out and we will go from there!   We do ALLOW out of state adoptions, HOWEVER the adopter MUST pick the dog up in person and DRIVE or FLY (IN CABIN ONLY) the dog back at the adopters expense. We do NOT coordinate transport. ##1260302##

Story
Ike Located in Dalton NE Chihuahua mix  07/28/2021 Birthday Dog friendly Cat friendliness unknown but likely fine  Will be fine with older children who are CALM and have dog manners, he is too WAY shy and gentle to be around loud crazy kids, he would get scared and very overwhelmed Not fully or consistently house trained, and knowing his breed this could be a long process. He gets cold easily and isn't a fan of potting outside in the cold haha. This being said he has already made positive movement on this topic  He is crate trained but doesn't love it. He needs a heartbeat stuffed animal or another dog to sleep with him. He also believes when kenneled that he can and should express all his opinions as loud as possible.  Doesn't know commands but is shockingly easy to motivate so he should be relatively easy to train LOTS of LOUD opinions, not an apartment appropriate dog, unless you're looking to get out of your lease, then he is the PERFECT dog  He is shy at first and will need a home that understands at first it may be a bit of a slower process than a usual dog, if you rush it he will never come around and end up returned so this is a serious aspect that you as an adopter need to consider realistically and carefully Needs to be adopted with his sibling Gil Likes to sleep under the covers, or in "cave" beds Fully vetted  8-9lbs approx These 2 boys are Ike (larger brindle) and Gilligan (smaller tan). These boys have been with us their whole lives (born 7/28/21) and while their foster absolutely LOVES them they deserve their FURever home. The issue is that they must go TOGETHER, everyone has wanted Gilligan but no one was also interested in Ike. These boys have the sweetest most healthy and delightful bond that splitting them up just isn’t in their best interest and would be cruel. Gil is more outgoing and comes around to ppl faster than Ike who is more shy. Gil is also 4lbs packed with hilarious antics and Ike is way more cuddly and sweet. Ike chooses his people and is just more cuddly with them vs others. However once they get to know and trust you both are crazy sweet. Together they are so opposite yet work together so perfectly. They play perfectly together and with other dogs extremely well. Ike does watch out for Gilligan, especially around larger dogs, as Gilligan seems to have no idea he's only 4lbs, it isn't aggressive at all just really sweet. If you’re interested in adding 2 precious little boys to your family don’t hesitate to reach out! Both boys are dog friendly. Both are likely fine with cats. Both would be fine with older non heathen kids (Gil is only 4lbs so needs children who understand “gentle”). Both are shy but not nippy at all, they will hide not fight. Both do ok with housetraining they could be more consistent but there is a lot going on in the current foster home so it's very inconsistent. Both love cuddling, cuddling with their ppl, cuddling with other dogs, cuddling with each other and both are use to sleeping with their human and each other. These 2 are the most delightful pair and deserve the most amazing home. We are NOT looking for a home that really just wants Gilligan but is willing to take Ike to get him. Both dogs are precious and deserves someone who loves them both equally and as much as their foster mom does.   Original PostIke was the 2nd born and the largest pup from the start. He knows he is the largest and will use it to get his way haha, but he is also the calmest and most content pup out of the 3. He is very sweet and outgoing. He is more independent and happy to run with the bigger dogs. He is going to make someone a fantastic family member.  $200.00 Adoption Fee  (Which is considered a non refundable donation and being we are a 501c3 organization it is tax deductible.
