Story
Meet Tucker! Tucker is an adorable 8-year-old small Lab mix with a gentle heart and so much love to give. This sweet boy is currently working through some anxiety and is looking for a patient, understanding family who will help him feel safe and secure. Once Tucker trusts you, you'll discover a loyal companion who just wants to be loved and included. He deserves a home where he can take things at his own pace, build confidence, and enjoy the comfort of having a family of his very own. If you have a kind heart, a little patience, and room in your home for a deserving senior pup, Tucker may be the perfect match for you. Give Tucker the second chance he's been waiting for. The adoption fee is $250 and covers age appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter.  Applications are typically worked in time stamp order based on date/time of submission.  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. *****We are currently operating by appointment only due to a shortage of personnel.   If you want to meet this pet, or are interested in adopting, please submit an inquiry or email to tchspapillion@gmail.com.  Someone from the rescue will contact you and/or your family and determine, on a broad level, whether you might be a fit for the animal.  If so, they will provide instructions for completing the application. Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted to set up a time to meet at the shelter or the foster home.   The introduction between you and the pet will be supervised by one of the dog counselors or the foster.   If all goes well, you can adopt during the same visit. Please be sure to follow us on Facebook to learn more about Town and Country Humane Society and our mission. ##370009##

Story
Perseus “Persey” is the perfect adventure companion packed into a medium dog build. Standing at 33 pounds he fits nicely on a lap or in the car. He loves walks, hiking, swimming, or trail riding. Persey is just as happy snuggled up on the couch with his people. He is good with other animals in the home once introduced but is leash reactive so not a good fit for dog park type settings. He has behaved when visiting others with cats but we do not have cats of our own.Rehoming as we have a young child who is not respectful of his boundaries. Persey has nipped at this child once when he fell onto Persey, and should go to owners without young children. He is ideal for a home with a fenced in yard.He is leash trained, and kennel trained. He enjoys treats and is never protective of his food. Very loyal to his humans.

Story
Meet Tucker! Born 04/18/2026 This adorable little Shih Tzu mix has officially landed in rescue and is beginning his next chapter! Everything is still brand new, so Tucker is taking some time to settle into his foster home, decompress, and discover that the good life has finally begun. Like any young puppy, Tucker is just getting started on learning all the important puppy basics—house training, crate training, good manners, and all the fun adventures that come with growing up. Every day will bring new milestones, and we’ll continue to update his profile as we learn more about his personality, likes, and the perfect home for him. For now, we’re simply excited to watch this sweet little guy blossom into the happy, confident companion he’s meant to be. Stay tuned—we have a feeling Tucker’s best days are just beginning! The suggested adoption fee for Tucker is $715. Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated. Adoption donation fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. All dogs adopted through BNBR will have been administered their age appropriate vaccines which may include DHPP, Rabies, Lepto and Bordetella. All dogs will also be adopted out as already altered if of age, for those not of age, a voucher will be provided. 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. BNBR does not adopt on a first serve basis. All available dogs are adopted based on their needs to provide the best fit home. ##2772392##
