Story
Huxley is the sibling of our other two dogs. A few months ago the older couple that bought him decided to either find him a new home or let him run off or take him to be put down as a one year old dog was to much work. We took him in, because he came from the same litter as our two dogs, and we could bare to see him put down for no reason. We knew taking him in we wouldn’t be able to be his forever already having two dogs and 3 kiddos. We just want to find him his forever home. Huxley is amazing with our 3 year old and our other two dogs ( his sisters ), I’ve never seen a dog purposely catch a toddler falling, but he does it almost daily. He’s very loving and affectionate, especially to females. Loves laying on a pillow or next to you on the couch. We are still working on commands like sit, stay, shake , but he’s learning. When we first got him he didn’t know his name, so we’ve made progress. I could go on but any questions you may have just ask. I could go on

I love max. He is the sweetest giant you will meet. He gets along with my dogs and cats. Get excited for walks. Plays a lot of fetch with balls and sticks. He is crate trained. Listens well. He is a really good job. I have to move to an apartment and can’t take him with me. So please if interested let me know. I want him to find a new loving family.

Skye was abandoned in the country and survived on her own through the brutal western Nebraska winter. She is smart, fast, agile, loves to please. She needs a secure fenced yard and lots of exercise and enrichment. She loves to play and would be excellent at agility or freestyle.

Story
Meet Shiloh, a silly and playful husky looking for his forever home! Shiloh loves to play with both dogs and people, he would do best with an active family ready to keep up with his silly antics that are typical to the breed. Shiloh can get quite exuberant when playing and likes to grab at clothes, so older kids that can correct him may work best for him. Shiloh is sooooo excited to meet you!

Story
Meet Ranger – The Life of the Puppy Party! Say hello to Ranger, a 6-month-old beagle mix with boundless energy, a wagging tail, and a heart full of love! Weighing in at a perfect 35 pounds, Ranger is still growing into his big personality—and so far, it’s nothing short of delightful. This sweet, high-energy boy is already winning hearts with his playful spirit and friendly nature. He loves other dogs and is quickly becoming a favorite in our doggie playgroups, where he gets to romp, wrestle, and make new friends. Whether he's chasing a ball or just running zoomies with the pack, Ranger brings the fun wherever he goes. Still a puppy at heart (and in age!), Ranger is looking for an active home that’s ready for some good-natured chaos, lots of playtime, and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. With a little training and a lot of love, he’s sure to become a loyal adventure buddy and cuddle companion. If you're looking for a pup who’s full of life and ready to bring joy into your days, Ranger is your guy! The adoption fee is $400 + tax and covers age-appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter.  We're open from 12-4 PM every day EXCEPT Wednesday! 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.  ##2374785##
