Story
Persephone (aka sfanie) is a little darling.  She is 9 years old and 8 lbs.  Her people could no longer take care of her so she came to our rescue.  She recently had a dental so are teeth are looking good.  She has been fine around other dogs, we are not sure about cats.  We do not think she has had much interaction with kids so maybe no small ones that want man handle a dog.   So far she has shown no sign of wanting to play with toys.  She is a little sad and is looking for a home that will give her lots of loving.  To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $200 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs.  We do not ship dogs.   All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.December 21, 2025, 1:48 pm

Story
Meet Ernie, the star of our PUPPY BOWL adoptable dog segment on Animal Planet!! Tiny body, BIG personality! 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!! February 7, 2026, 3:50 pm

Story
Penny Female Spayed DOB Kennel Trained Potty training - work in progress Leash trained Meet Penny – Our Sweet & Spunky Senior Chihuahua Penny is an older Chihuahua lady who knows exactly what she likes: a calm home, a cozy routine, and a person to call her own. She’s happiest living the slow life, spending her days napping and snuggling as close as possible to her favorite human. Once she bonds, she truly bonds—Penny is a devoted little “velcro dog” who loves to sleep touching her person and would happily burrow under blankets at bedtime. Penny would do best as an only pet, though she can coexist with another calm, respectful dog with proper management. She can be protective of her personal space—especially her kennel and her person’s lap—and may bark if another dog gets too close. For this reason, she’s best suited for a home that understands small-dog boundaries and can give her a peaceful environment. She walks beautifully on leash and is excellent in her kennel, sleeping quietly through the night. While she prefers to sleep in bed with her person, she’s perfectly content and well-mannered in a crate. Penny does well in the car, hasn’t shown any destructive behaviors, and takes treats gently. She eats well and has lovely house manners overall. Penny can be successfully house trained with a consistent schedule. She understands the routine and the cue “outside,” but she does not signal when she needs to go, so a predictable potty schedule is important for her success. While Penny isn’t much of a toy player, she enjoys gentle interaction and playful hand wrestling. She’s a low-energy companion who would thrive in a quiet home with someone looking for a loyal, snuggly sidekick. If you’re looking for a devoted little shadow who just wants warmth, comfort, and your love, Penny may be the perfect match. The Adoption Fee (Tax Deductible Donation) is $150.. If you are interested please fill out an application at www.nalarescue.org. Please note a Vet Check and Home Inspection are part of the application process. NALA Rescue is a home-based foster rescue and does not have a facility. If interested in meeting a dog, please apply at www.nalarescue.org. All dog meets are scheduled by appointment in advance only, if approved. All shots, boosters, rabies, spay/neuter, and microchip are included in NALA Rescues Adoption Donation charges. All dogs/puppies are available until they are removed from this site so please no inquires if a dog is available.

Story
Honey is a 81/2 year old female Chihuahua.She is a tiny,nervous Queen with a big personality and even bigger boundaries. She has a past that's left her deeply unsure of humans. She isn't ready for cuddles, pets, or even the occasional hand reach,not yet. She'll need a home that understands love can be quiet, patient, and without physical contact for a long while (maybe forever).Honey Boo Boo would thrivebest in a calm environment with no small children. She currently coexists peacefully with thecats and dogs at her foster home and finds a sense of safety in animal companionship. While she doesn't want to be touched, she enjoys being around her trusted furry friends,they help her feel less alone in the world and she hopes her someday adopter might have a resident furry companion to continue showing her there are some really kind humans out there.She must have a fully fenced yard because she cannot be leashed or carried and has zero recall,catching her would be like trying to scoop up moonlight.We know she isn't your average lap dog,but she doesn't want to be. She just wants to exist peacefully in a home where she's allowed to feel safe and accepted exactly as she is. She isn't broken,she's just not for everyone. But for someone, she might be everything. If you're the rare unicorn of a human who doesn't need affection or to give love, Honey Boo Boo is waiting for you. The adoption fee is $250 + tax and covers age-appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter. We're open from 12-4 PM Tuesday - Saturday! Did you know you don't need to have an appointment to visit our available cats and dogs***? Simply drop by and if you find a potential new furry friend, you can fill out an application on the day you visit. Go to townandcountryanimalrescue.org to fill out our digital application. Applications are typically processed in 3-5 business days. Once you're approved, you can return on the date and time set up by your adoption counselor, with your family for a meet and greet. If it goes well, you can take your new best friend home on the meet and greet day! If you have other dogs in your home, they must all meet the potential adoptee. It may save you a trip to bring them with you when you visit, if you are certain you want to adopt a new family member. ***Please note that animals in foster homes cannot be viewed at our rescue, and appointments are still required to meet them. Please be sure to follow us on Facebook to learn more about Town and Country Animal Rescue and our mission. ##2355812##

Story
Lalo is a Chihuahua, born August 2022.  He is leash trained and enjoys being active.  He will need a fenced yard with room to explore.  Lalo is working on potty training with his foster mom.  The cold and snowy days are tough for a little guy like Lalo, but he is making progress!  Lalo is recommended for children 12 and up.  Lalo gets along with other dogs, but prefers to be an only dog.  He gets along with his foster's cat, but will chase at times.  He is full of personality and a great dog.  His favorite thing is sitting on his person's lap.   Lalo's special requests are to be with a family who can provide him with the love, attention and care that he deserves.  Can you be the one for Lalo? **Lalo was recently diagnosed with petit mal seizure disorder and requires an inexpensive drug daily to regulate. The suggested adoption donation for Lalo is $300, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. In 2022 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $399,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Information about the adoption process:  All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application has completed our prescreen steps, we will put you in touch with the animal’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the animal. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. Please Note:  We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks, and a Home Visit (Virtual in some cases) during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each animal, based on the animal’s needs. If you and the animal are not a good match, we will help you select another animal, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months. To learn about Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue or donate to our animals, please visit our website at MuddyPawsSecondChanceRescue.com or our Facebook Page Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue Inc.   If the dog or cat you adopt is older than 6 months of age and not spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to alter the pet at Val Verde Animal Hospital in Omaha, at no cost to you.  Or you can alter the pet at your own vet and be reimbursed $100 for dogs, and $50 for cats, of total cost.  If the dog or cat is younger than 6 months of age, adopter will be responsible for the cost of altering the pet at the vet of their choice.  If proof of alter is received by Muddy Paws prior to the pet turning 6 months of age, a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $50 for cats, will be sent to you to help cover expenses.  [Muddy Paws can also suggest a vet with a reduced cost for alters.]  All puppies and kittens MUST be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age.  All dogs and cats MUST be spayed or neutered no later than one month after adoption is finalized.  Thank you in advance for your compliance. ##2486442##
